Cool. Glad for another light-handed RPG.

I bought it and will have a look. I like the name...Simply.

Can't wait for the expansions: SimplyFantasy, SimplyCyber, SimplyWestern, SimplyHorror, etc. Presumably they would just be economic systems and bestiaries. Horror might have new rules for sanity. Cyber might have rules for hacking. Etc.

The ‘judge’ or ‘master’.

I always saw the division of duties as the ‘heroes’ versus the ‘world’.

The other players take on the persona of specific characters while one player takes on the persona of the universe around them.

Text versus context. Foreground versus background.

Does the system have abilities, like Strength, Intelligence, or so on?

Nope. Just skills. Fighting, Shooting, Knowledge, Persuasion, etc.

What, you weren't happy with the fast, light, universal, tabletop role-playing game that I uploaded to ENWorld? That's cool. Can't make everyone happy...

By the way, are Smileys due to be fixed? At least for Mozilla?

So I assume for fantasy, light armor might add +1-+2 dice to dodge. medium armor +2-+4 dice to dodge, etc.

Purchased! I like the system overall and the ease of taking it in.

Magic seems a little costly, trading 1 health for the possibility of healing or damaging another by 1. Compared to cost-free medicine or fighting checks, seems like it would usually be the wrong choice.

Perhaps the cost could be for spells with effect >1? Or the cost could be one die of magic consumed per spell, replenished at dawn?

Or you could have a magic focus that was consumed point by point instead of your health? Focus replenishes, you can only control a focus equal to one point per die of your magic skill?
