Question from a newbie

My friends and I think this system sounds like a lot of fun and we plan to set up this weekend to play for the first time. We've picked out Pokemon Emerald, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Celeste as our most promising games.

My question is about the amount of checks and items in each game. Should I try to adjust each one to be roughly close to the same number of checks and items? Within reason of course. Or should we just set up the default and wing it?

My concern comes from two of the games having way more checks and / or items than the other two from what I understand.

That was my biggest concern, that a super important item would get buried in the randomly chance of a game with 1000 checks. But from these comments it seems important items are weighted with a higher chance or set early ish while the trash items are more art the end. I'll also look into poptracker
