Hello, first time posting in the new community. I am looking at games similar to Power by the Apocalypse or Forged in the Dark. Just to clarify:

-good roll = you fully succeed in your intended action

-average roll = minor success or an additional complication

-bad roll = usually a miss, and definitely bad consequences are happening.

Thanks!!

Ps trying the formatting options for a list but I cannot make it work :)

EDIT: I meant games apart than PbtA or FitD, thanks!–

    So my favorite system right now is CORE. The resolution mechanic breaks down into a combination of Yes/No and And/But. So for instance you can get an okay result that is “Yes, But” where you succeed but at a cost. You could also fail spectacularly with a “No, And” where not only do your not succeed but something even worse happens. The only thing there isn’t a result for is just a straight up “No” because that doesn’t help move the story along.

      Thanks for sharing this! Your post here pushed me over the edge to go give the rules a read and I really like what I’m seeing so far! Are there any actual play podcasts or videos you’d recommend for seeing the system in play?

        There is! I actually discovered the system through an actual play called Legends of Tabletop. The first one they did was actually with the creator and it uses a version called Daytrippers. Since then they’ve done a handful of CORE games, like a Cthulhu version, some sci-fi, and classic fantasy.
