I have previously skirted around systems like Shadowrun and Storyteller. From my waaaaay back when in about 4th or 5th Edition Warhammer Fantasy TTWargame... I learned the appeal of “lunchbox of dice” but also the downfall of counting... (I had Orcs & Gobbos, I could easily have 40d6 being rolled).
So when I looked about everyone was loving PbtA, Fate, and FitD systems and well... they didn’t feel very “pulpy” to me. I wanted a bit of “lunchbox of dice” thrill but not so “and now we spend 45 seconds separating d6s”.
So, Beta Maxx got born. Most of the time players wouldn’t be super likely to have 10d10 they are rolling, probably 3-7. So a little bit of lunchbox of dice but not separating out 40d6 into two piles and rolling the second pile, and then...
The big thing for me about the system is the table-addition Traits making the game quite easy to theme/genre modify, and that “fistful of dice” feeling.
