my take is that DMs probably make players do too many rolls, shit like "make a survival roll every 5 minutes to track this bandit through the woods", and having every party member do athletics rolls to climb a 8 foot wall. with how swingy the d20 is there will be guaranteed failure eventually at lower and even to mid range levels. along with too many rolls, when a PC fails a task it often means they are just locked out of progressing so they just stand there looking like an idiot. Im not saying players need to always be able to fail forward, but i think the rolls need to be fewer and for when there's real obstacles

Ive ran and played it for a couple years now. It's very fun, but it is not well balanced and you will want your GM and players to be on top of all their BS they can use and abuse so that fights don't take 5 hours to go through, 4 players max is honestly what you want when everyone's figuring out the game

And Nelson is that fucking guy, my player maxed his AGI and can just pop his core and fly around the entire damn map without even trying and still do stupid damage
