comment How can I make BRP less variable?
I don't know about "harping", but if both Drivers have drive skills below 50%--say you have 40% and the other guy has 35%--then your odds aren't that bad: low success rates swing both ways. And speaking of percentages less than 50...

comment Does anyone know of specific types of room lists for different kinds of (fantasy) buildings?
I'm actually confident in my abilities to draw up a map. I'm just that bad at knowing what goes on in them, especially if I'm using my own temples and my own made-up deities. I've seen and used Greek temples, Aztec ziggurats, and English castles as guides. Perhaps temples aren't the best example, either. I'm looking for lists of rooms--the layout doesn't matter, I can do that--that serve certain functions, which then coalesce into a practical structure. Which I will then turn into an "unrealistic dungeon filled with monsters that just wait for the PCs to come and kill them."

comment Superhero cinematic gaming — looking for a system
The game is deliberately vague on how much your character can lift, or how fast he can fly; powers are simply rated on a level of 1 to 5. You stake a conflict in a scene and claim a side, and set a 'pro' and 'con' die (d6) with the 1 facing up, on a scrap of paper representing the conflict. You can re-roll a die if your power has a higher number, and you can split the die into two at some points to get a higher total. You win or lose Story points and debt on your Drives, which are things like Love or Justice. The link in the original comment has a downloadable basic rule set--check it out!
