In games where we have things like action economies, NPC stats, movement rates and mechanically defined adversity it just feels off to me. Especially when things like opposed rolls come into play it can be hard to handle consistently. Having so much leeway about what a roll could mean when we have PCs rolling and NPCs rolling while tracking movement rates and all the jazz that goes along with games where NPCs and PCs are represented mechanically and the GM is expected to know exactly where NPCs are and what they are doing is just too much cognitive overload for me outside of fiction first games like Apocalypse World or Blades in the Dark.Failing Forward is somewhat easier to integrate, but still really tough to do consistently in situations where we're calling for tests on NPCs as well.</blockquote>
