I thought on this more during a work day full of meetings, and the Year Zero Engine (Forbidden Lands & Twilight 2k) are also examples.

Dice Pool systems that has damage scale with number of successes rolled.

TW2K also has weapons that can score multi-hits to add to the variable damage of 1 roll.

One could make an argument that PF2E does this by rolling a 10+ over the Target Number you critically hit.

I have only used an AI search engine once, to find a re-stream of an out of network NFL game, it was oddly better at that then google, but not by much, after the 3rd result it was roughly the same stuff as google.

This would probably be my path in life if the dying part didn’t upset my wife.

Nothing feels better than having your opponent repeatedly pick up your cards to read them because they’ve never seen them before.

Gun literacy has ruined most movies and TV shows for me.

The teeth add so much character to the little guy.

Death treats? You mean naps.

Of course! No malice perceived, and as much as I loved B/X I’ve hacked at it just as much (Always gotta use GLOG spell-casting) to get the system to align with my setting and the stories/gameplay I want to engage with.

That does feel a consolation prize; I tend to like to use EXP to incentivize player behavior. So, it’ll likely be something I hack at some point.

I know I was just ragging on grid based combat TTRPGs, but when I am in the mood for that 4E is where it is at. I think someone tried to blend OSR and 4e, but I never had the table bandwidth to try it out: tundalus.itch.io/trespasser
