    Simple System

    d6 pool system
    - roll d6 equal to attribute + skill (+ modifiers)

    - 4's+ are hits (??? maybe 5's+ ???)

    - 1 hit equals a 'mixed' success (success at a cost)

    - 2 hits equal a 'full' success (success at no cost)

    - 3+ hits equal a 'resounding' success (success and a little extra)

    - 0 hit equals failure (no success)

    - 0 hit with at least one 1 on the dice is a 'resounding' failure. (failure at a cost)

    Note - failure can often be resounding

    Examples of 'costs'

    - additional time

    - addtional space

    - additional resources

    - equipment lost

    - bridge burned

    - focus lost(?)

    Story Points
    - a pool of points equal to the number of players at the table

    - GM's points and PC's points are kept separtely as 'teams'

    - can be used for narrative interventions.

    Focus
    - what make the PC's 'protagonists'

    - spendable points per character

    - extra dice

    - 6's 'explode'

    - dice re-roll

    - second wind

    - extra action
