[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9316133, member: 86653"] The fiction indicated the situation has conflict. The fiction doesn't indicate there needs to be mechanics used to determine the outcome. You can do that without resorting to mechanics. And again, the various other ways to determine outcomes that aren't game mechanics. “A time-waster becomes a game when you add rules and an objective.” —Scott Rogers Don't mistake [I]rules[/I] for [I]mechanics[/I]. They're not the same thing. A rule is follow the social contract. A mechanic is roll 2d6 and compare to this chart. You can have all kinds of rules without any mechanics and still be playing a game. Yes...but the referee can still apply modifiers in PbtA and determine how many successes are necessary in FitD. Whether the person rolls at all, how many times they have to roll to accomplish something, modifiers, dis/advantage, etc. I agree completely. A single roll or a group roll is more than enough. You don't need 5E levels of complication. [/QUOTE]
