Here's something quick I came up with today, though this is more of a supplement than a full system but nothing's stopping you:
Here's the 50/50 System!
The basic story is I had a dream about teaching 4-6 year old kids how to play TRPG's but the problem was I only had a coin. In real life I work with kids, so this scenario isn't all that unlikely actually. Anyway, I came up with this system and when I woke up, I thought it was actually a good idea with a few tweaks added.
As a result The 50/50 System was born! I've added a bit more complexity/nuance to it than in my dream, but I want to stress that it isn't a robust system, which is why I call it a "supplemental system". However, it comes with some nice bonuses:
- It's super accessible. Everybody knows how a coin flip works and it's hyper visual
- You can emulate this online if you needed/wanted to with great ease
- In a pinch, you can always run a simple scenario
- Expedites certain checks when you really don't want to spend a lot of time on something
- It's a great introduction to oracle systems
- You can use it for group or solo play
I'm sure there are others but that's what came to mind when I thought about it. The document has been updated with typo corrections and one rule clarification (which was my fault due to a typo), but I more-or-less made this after waking up today. Other folks seem really pleased with it, which surprised me, and I thought y'all might too.
Enjoy, and happy gaming! :D
