The Wild Die adds cosmic chaos to your rolls! Every roll has one die that is Wild. On a result of 12 the die will "explode" give you a chance at extra successes, while rolling a 1 creates a complication but grants a Wild Die Token to be used later! #NotoriousStarCorsairSaga #Indie #GameMechanics

I have a new system to try out! I got some amazing feedback and I listen and obey! In NSCS, Attributes determine how many d12s you roll (1-10), while Skills set what counts as success (Skill 0: 8+, Skill 5: 3+). Simple yet flexible! #NotoriousStarCorsairSaga #NSCS #Indie #GameMechanics

Position matters in the cosmic void! With ADVANTAGE, roll twice and take the higher result. With DISADVANTAGE, take the lower. If your Wild Die rolled better on the first roll, lock it in and keep it for the second roll. How will you gain the upper hand? #NotoriousSCS #TTRPGMechanics #Indie

Had a very successful playtest last night and got some great feedback to implement and try. What was the biggest, you say? Changing the core dice mechanic from: Attribute + Skill = Dice pool To Attribute = Dice pool and Skill = the value on the die you need to roll. What do you think?
