QuestWorlds is coming—who else is hyped?

[GMMichael]

The contrast is with nothing happens - which is a fairly frequent outcome of a whole host of common D&D-esque action declarations (I look for a secret door; I try and open the door; I pick the lock; I look inside the cupboard to see if there's anything interesting in it; I shoot at the deer as it runs through the woods; etc, etc).

Sure, but the context struck me as course-of-narrative, not singular-event. As I suggested earlier, nothing happens could be game ending for the course of the narrative.

At least as Hero Wars and HeroQuest, yes, it was. But that also describes Pendragon, Dragonbane, and Warlock...

And Hackmaster 5e.
