[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9226173, member: 6779310"] Weirdest: 1: Brute Squad: a rules light difficulty budget game, which has a claim to being fortune first. You state the Brutistic (attribute), roll it, then describe the resulting effect. If the table things your description doesn't work for the roll, complications happen, and the current obstacle is failed. 2: Blood & Honor and Houses of the Blooded (John Wick): you don't roll for success, you roll for who decides and in what order you get to "Yes, and..."/"Yes, but..."; the number of dice omitted from your pool determines how many YA/YB statements you get. In combat, initiative is in order of high roll to low roll, but number of actions is by omitted dice. B&H I've run, it's a samurai pillow-book theme. 3: 7th Sea 2e (John Wick) - At start of a conflict scene, you roll for number of actions in the conflict; scene ends when everyone's out of actions. That's where I quit reading. (I was having to copy and paste to be able to read the text; John's font choice makes HoL look easily read. My favorite settings [I]for play[/I] aren't that weird... L5R (Esp 5e), Alien, Talisman Adventures, Star Trek, Space 1889, Star Wars. I still love Traveller's Third Imperium (at least the non-mongoose versions), but for play?
