It was still relying on dice that you get for incorporating existing aspects into your narration.If you are willing to go into more avant-garde territory, well, my current project utilizes a literal fighting game as a resolution mechanic, and I guess you can swap beating the crap out of each other with beating the crap out of a wave of enemies.</blockquote>
