I'm calling the system I'm working on Ternion unless something better comes to me. It's 3d4 and has a result matrix you refer to when rolling. I'm happy with it so far! It's a system for characters who succeed much more often than not, but not always without getting scuffed up in the process.

I take core resolution mechanics a bit seriously.

I like to know how they work before I build off of them.

Here, I found a curve I like for determining whether PCs get what they want, get it at a cost, or fail and suffer for it.

Me, trying to sound interesting at a party: "S-so, how about those rules eliding, huh?"

My reasoning is that the PCs in this game are better than their so-called equals in a fair match, but not so much so that they can always get their way for free.

This is a game less about success and failure, and much more about success at a cost, with costs adding up and cascading into disaster.

Toying around with a 3d4 core for a bizarre fantasy heist game.

For clarity, Tier+0 is a threat or obstacle equal to the players.

But that doesn’t mean a 50% chance of success of failure.

It means absoute success, with a 68% chance of paying a cost for it.
