Exploring how Encounters: BattleTech uses a push-your-luck contract system, dice pool, and equipment upgrades to create a game arc. Also, pondering how this system could be used in TTRPGs
super interesting, as always :) thank you for sharing <3
while not exactly the same, this reminds me of two classes from two different TTRPGs – the Sorcerer from Defy the Gods, and the Muzeiiyd Mercernary from You Will Die In This Place! the former rolls dice hoping to form specific "patterns" to be able to cast different spells (if they are unable to form any pattern they have unlocked, chaos breaks out (as is the results if they get 'snake eyes')); the latter rolls dice for their "stamina pool" which they can then allocate to different actions (the pool is, generally, reduced every round – one of the dice they used for action(s) that turn gets discarded, the others re-rolled)... there's a lot more to them than that, but just to draw attention to the broad similarity and some of the differences :)

Oh wow, both of those sound really cool. I'll need to check them both out.
Always appreciate your comments. Thank you!
