Like in a lot of trad systems combat can get bogged down and it can be easy to exploit (moreso with older versions, like Conan) but imo it does some stuff extremely well. I think Star Trek Adventures is an incredible marriage of mechanics to premise, for instance. Quick example: When you're playing Starfleet and you set your phaser to kill, the GM gets a point of Threat, the metacurrency they use to adjust rolls, power NPC abilities, and make extra narrative complications and bad stuff happen. I think that's ingenious! But the fact that 2d20 can be pretty different in each game that uses it makes it hard to really digest it, so I get why it's relatively unfamiliar material.</blockquote>
