The main way that it differs from a game like D&D is that D&D specifies how often to roll. For example, Climbing has to be re-rolled every x feet. The bummer here is that a) it's boring to roll five times to scale a 100' cliff, especially if nothing is appreciably different on any given part and b) that's five ways to fail.All Let It Ride does is let the players move the goal posts around. If you're trying to climb up the cliff to sneak into an enemy camp, go ahead and roll your climbing check. 100' later, you're in the camp (or you failed in some way).In my games, the effect is to either fast forward to the PC doing what he wanted or fast forward to where he screws up, and save us the hassle and unfairness of rolling five times.@ Buzz, I'm pretty sure you mean well, but splitting hairs about intent and so forth doesn't help sell it to newbies.</blockquote>
