Has anyone else used the UA Game Mechanics for any other system?

I know Ascension of the Magedeline is out there, I do not have a copy (yet). 
Though, I thought it would be fun to run a fantasy adventure using the UA 
rules.

The other evening, I had my players create fantasy character concepts. Using 
the UA game as a frame, the players created  Lars Wolfe (male human 
mercenary), Arianniana (female elvin amoromancer) and Thog Backbreaker (male 
orc epideromancer).

Right from the get go, as our heroes where drawn together by fate, as a 
stranger was being assailed upon by "Inquisitors". The stranger whispered to 
them that "the hand must not touch the face." Afterwards, he perished. A 
package fell from his clutched hands. A severed hand with wicks at the end 
of each finger.

This adventure was meant to be something of a one shot, but it intrigued me 
and my players. Some memorable moments include; a sexy elvin maiden flirting 
up a storm in a tavern, getting wanton attention from male patrons, and 
gathering some minor charges. Lars whose obession is his longsword, jumping 
from a moving wagon onto another and slashing at a demonic beast and rolling 
a 10 and then flipping it around to a 01. While in captivity Thog amputates 
his arm at the elbow, he survives and gets a significant charge. To cast 
body like a still pond to escape from his prison. And freaking  out two 
guards in the process.
