But… but… So a thoughtful (d6) character that tries something forceful (4–8) would have 1/2 chance to succeed (with 4, 5 or 6 on their die) while a strong character (d12) would have 5/12 chances to succeed (with 4-8 on their die). It means that a strong character is mathematically weaker at attempting something with their strength than a less thoughtful character.
Edit: …all of that given the same approach die which I assume may happen in character creation.
I agree, feels a lot like Fate. Well, the no-stats approach using different dice is interesting and worth to be noted. I’d try it on a few random scenes just to test it and to see what question would emerge. But yeah, I already foresee quite a few.
I also like the galton-board stress approach. I used a similar thing in my latest game. It’s not necessarily better than any other system but it’s a bit of fresh air and a pretty little mechanic which is rarely (never?) used.
Absolutely! CP:R ihas always been a huge interest of mine, I also have 2020 and many supplements but never had a chance to dive in.
