What should the penalty be for accidentally killing a peasant? Gross negligence, not "I had to cast that spell right then or the entire village was fucked and there was unfortunately a casualty."

So I've been running through making another homebrew and as I do so I've been browsing a lot of systems looking for good mechanics and ideas for how to handle things. And one thing has kind of been on my mind: there doesn't really seem to be much variety in how games function on their most basic level.

Obvious higher level mechanics change things, but ats its core I've only really ever seen a few dice mechanics. Namely:

1. You have a number and you have to roll under it. GURPS is like this.

2. You try to roll over a certain number and your stats give you bonuses to the roll. D&D does this, as well as basically anything with a dice pool or difficulty chart.

3. Outcome is dependent on what number is rolled and stats and bonuses shift the number towards more beneficial things. Eg, Rolling 1 is a terrible failure, rolling 6 is great success, and your skill gives +1 to the roll. RTD does this, as well as a few scattered other games.


Is this the extent of dice mechanics when it comes right down to it? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, considering the fact that there's only so many things you can do with a dice, but still. I Kinda expected there to be more.

What's /tg/s opinion on setting a fantasy campaign in a deliberately anachronistic, timeless version of the court of King Solomon? Basically, same as King Arthur's Camelot, which is sort of "somewhere, sometime in Britain", and tangentially relates to local mythology, but focusing on a sort of "fantastical orient" ruled by a wise sorcerer king and his knights?

Space opera,i lost the other tread so lets make a new one /tg/ heres what we had:
All seven factions are at war over the valuable substance GATE.this element can do damn near anything so everyone is fighting for it. Humanity just showed up and is split into three warring states:The federation,the Nova Repubslik,and the free states. Humanity's only ally is the reculsive Vril who seek to bring out humanity's potenial so they can rule the galaxy as the Vril are dying off. then the Greys,who are a old world building race that are warring the dragon like Aenather over the GATE clusters in the eastern system.then finally the poor Rumar who once were a noble empire who have since devolved into chaotic barbarians after their minds were altered by the unrefined GATE on their home-world now the only way they can be "normal" is they eat and drink the blood and flesh of others.also their sharks...

I've been wanting to do a homebrew game with a point buy system. Was looking at GURPS, but I don't really like the feel of the system. I don't really like the dice mechanic. Also a little too crunchy, and I want combat to be a bit simpler and gentler.

What are some other games with point buy character creation?

Someone on a dice mechanics thread suggested the following idea:

There's a cup (or bowl, or popcorn bowl, depending on difficulty desired) in the middle of the table. To do things, the players try to throw dice into it. Only dice that land in the cup count, in which case the number on the die indicates quality of success.

Is this a real mechanic, if it isn't why, and what kind of game should we homebrew around this mechanic? This is like the most awesome beer and chips dice mechanic ever
