Burning Empires.BE's process:Player states the goal, the method, and intended skill(s):GM states difficulty and failure outcome:Player can back out, or can assemble the dice pool.Player rolls. GM and player narrate the outcome based upon the goal or failure.I've used fail forward with D&D in limited cases. Mostly social situations.Usually using <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DC made: get desired outcome</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DC missed by ≤5: either increased demand for compensation or part of demands met</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DC missed by >5: failed.</li> </ul>I've also used cases where failure merely wastes time and resources as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DC Made: accomplish task</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DC failed by ≤5: resources spent, next try gets DC-5</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DC failed by >5: resources spent, project blown</li> </ul>Those are both types of fail forward that fit nicely in D&D (and are based upon tasks stated in HotDQ).</blockquote>
