I've been involved in one aspect or another of the adventure games hobby for the past twenty-five years. Started playing in 1987. (First game? Champions, followed by CyberSpace, the Iron Crown cyberpunk game for Space Master, their sci-fi Rolemaster spin-off.) Was hired by InQuest Magazine in 1996, where I started my editorial career. Since then, I've done work for Green Ronin, Malhavoc Press, Dream Pod 9, and White Wolf. I managed two different game stores in the metro Boston area in the 2000s, and am now working primarily freelance. Still gaming after all these years.

I have a weakness for good coffee and bad puns.

@gomad - Actually, that might be a feature, rather than a bug. Skilled characters are reliable, time and time again. Novices mostly fail, occasionally get into deep trouble, and occasionally get beginner's luck — so you can't discount them entirely. If you're looking for the kind of moments that an "exploding" system offers, that's not bad.

The usual definition of "exploding dice" is "reroll and add/subtract." In ORE, you neither add nor subtract — you simply look for matches. But that does suggest an idea. Editing.

So your friend wants to add additional rolls to the One Roll Engine?

You're right; I've been playing too much Pathfinder lately.
