And same (or similar) is true for basically every RPG. I just do not get what you think you are descibing here that is somehow novel or different. What most games do not have however is rigid stucture what the play must follow. There is no fictional reson why certain things must be done in certain order or in certain phases, why after every score some bad stuff happens via entanglement or even why that psecific bad thing happens. This is opposite of any normal understanding of the fiction coming first. I have not tried the threat roll, and I feel I don't quite understand how they are asupposed to work. It might be be better. And yes, the mixed successes are a bit tricky so a mechnic that avoids them certainly has something going for it.</blockquote>
