Hi, some questions:

  • why did you make the "dice" version harder than the "COIN" version? 5+ is 33% vs coin flip (50%)
  • is the "mixed result" bump you get for 3XP meant as a PbtA-style "you do it, but with a cost / hard choice" ?

  • I made it a bit harder because I wanted it to feel a little harder - with some playtesting the 50/50 felt a bit easy. For a quick pick up game with coins is no big deal, but for me, making it slightly more difficult with the new dice mechanics made it feel like I could use it for a more long term setting (I'm thinking of using it for a play-by-post campaign over discord because the system is extremely simple and there wont be any confusion over rules). You're totally free to not use it and just go 4+ is a success!
  • Yup! That's what I was going for exactly! I find that the mixed success adds some of the most fun narrative flavor in my pbta game sessions.

Thanks for your explanations. Totally agree about mixed success!
