Tavern Tales: Free new RPG I found on Reddit

Going to start with the link http://taverntalesrpg.com/

Ok, so this game really excites me. Its a classless RPG that I can't imagine ever creating samey characters like I've often seen in other classless games. Characters are thematic and flavorful, with abilities that remind me of class features, not a collection of numbers and skills. The game is still new and the designer is still active, working on new projects all the time and it has a small but very active community generating new content daily.

So check it out, it won't cost you anything and you might find something you really like.

I'm liking almost all of what I'm reading right now. My main hangup is how the game handles checks and difficulty. For every roll you need to roll an 11 or higher on one of three dice. That's the part I have a problem with. Even with increased and decreased rolls, it seems to limit the possible ranges of difficulty. I'd like to see either the ability to bring more dice in (to take the highest or lowest), or difficulty modifiers. I understand that modifiers are a never-ending thing once you introduce them, so I see why he didn't, but I might just make it so double increased/decreased rolls in my games add an extra die. Triple increased/decreased rolls would add two dice, etc. Standard rolls would be still be 3 dice, so you wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find the middle die.

I've not tried the system in play yet to see how the rolling works out, but in some cases you do use opposed rolls so there shouldn't be anything against adding variable target numbers or even modifying the dice rolled.

Also 180 views of this thread! That's awesome, I hope even 1/4 of you checked out the link because I think this game is super neat.
