Using the pattern
Explicit Random Seeds are used to modify Randomness by allowing players to provide a seed that generates the Randomness in a game rather that it being provided by some automatic means (typically based on what time it is). The pattern is easy to implement rulewise, the challenges being related to interface design rather than gameplay design (Explicit Random Seeds is a Interface Pattern).
Can Modulate

Consequences
The ability to provide Explicit Random Seeds to a game gives players a Freedom of Choice regarding how to use Randomness.
