Also, every one of your examples has them opening the door on a failed roll--what is the point of even making the skill check? Just build a simple success right into the lock-picking table. Violence, that's the point of fail-forward. Yes, no matter whether you fail or not you open the door. But suc...

If we want to make an RPG that's actually good as a game I think we need to try and make it fun to play at the lowest level possible in the same way that it's fun to run around in Mario 64 even without actually working on any sort of progress towards beating a level, and for RPGs the lowest level y...

There's also the fun fact that to change the style of the host you have to go into the Foundation, which is dangerous as fuck.

That's basically the concept behind random initiative.
Basically you want to know what order people act in. Since this is (partially) random you get situations like the lone guard acting before everyone else, or trying to make it so you act first to prevent something.
