So, my thoughts about running an #theexpanse #ttrpg campaign is still ongoing.

But I have narrowed down the options to either #YZE or #brp.

Year Zero Engine has games like #AlienRPG, #CoriolisRPG and newly released expansion #AdAstra. For Basic RolePlaying I will have to turn to #CthuhluRising and #CthulhuThroughTheAges with #CthuhluIcarus as main source for rules.

As a DM I tend to let my players do plenty of dice-rolls, which in turn drives the story forward, where failures can be as exciting as successes.... 😎

But YZE punishes dice-rolling and rolling to often can give high amounts of stress to fast.
I can always do non-stress rolls when my players are in a non-stress situation. But on the other hand, BRP doesn't punish rolling. But still have mechanics for pushing failed rolls and the consequences of that 😁

Anyone out there have tried to run YZE with more dice rolling than recommended?
