The bare bones system [was: Re: [UA] [OT] White Wolf, TSR and so on...]

[Shultz, Andrew]

I've actually used (mostly) the UA dice system to run a Discworld game.
It's light and quick, which I really wanted - the GURPS discworld stuff is
great, but running a humorous light game in GURPS seems silly to me.
There's just too many damn points and specifics running around.

I did change it so that the BOHICA was "88" instead of "00", though, because
that was important to the genre.

And rather than having a 30 be pretty damn competent (as in UA, where a 30
means you don't roll for common things because you're a competent person) I
made them roll for pretty much everything, which gave them a chance of
success but not a very good one.

Anyway, it was great, I'll probably do it again after I'm finished with my
UA game.
