Assuming the above link works. (its my first)

The new announcements about system should provoke discussion.

Personally I like the system It's simple but works.
Much like its D10 relative from a system thats dark and new.

Just how similar is it though?

50% success rate against what, exactly? For 1 success, you got 90%.


Well, I rolled 6 dice, ten times (Simulating 10 skill tests) And only 5 of the ten tests had 5's in them. 50% success.

Like I said, not a mathematician, and by no means is that a scientific survey - but it is reality.
