Topic: AS&SH, LotFP, TINP and skills

I don't know if Raggi knows about Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea (http://www.swordsmen-and-sorcerers.com/), probably he does know, but it's another weird rpg, but more focused on Sword and sorcery. What I find interesting about it is the skill system, which is very similar with Lotfp (it uses a d6). It uses the same mechanic for attribute tests and for skills tests.

Also, I don't know if you know a very curious rpg named "There is no spoon" (http://tinstargames.weebly.com/uploads/ … rixrpg.pdf), a Matrix rpg with very simple mechanics. Basically, in tests you roll 1d6 for attribute and 1d6 for skill and try to roll under the level in each one of them. If you roll equal or under your attribut, you get a 1st level success (minor). If you roll under your skill, you get a 2nd level success (major). If you roll under both, you get a 3rd (full) level success.

The point I want to make is to combine the idea of the three rpgs to use in LotFP. You would roll 2 different colored d6, one for attribute and one for skill, needing to roll equal or under the value on each of them. For attributes, the values depend on your attribute modifier:

-3, you gotta get a 1 and then a 3 or less to succed
-2, 1:6
-1 2:6
0 3:6
+1 4:6
+2 5:6
+3 6:6, if you roll a 6, you roll again and only miss if you got a 4 or higher

A success in an attribute test would achieve things that every person could do. A success with a skill would achieve something that a professional could do (escale a very hard surface; understand a language etc). A success in both would be something that a master could do.

Basically, that's it. What do you people think?
