@thenomain said in Alternate Game Systems:

where we realize that the entire game lives on a computer so why not let the computer do all the work.

One thing to note - in my experience, MUSHers don't do too well when it comes to trusting the computer when it comes to skills.

Entirely too many actual conversations (give or take):

"Should I pick Good or Great for my Firearms?"

"Well which one describes your character more?"

"F-- that. I want to know how many dice I get for each one."

"There are no dice. This is a computer RPG. The probabilities of success at different difficulty ratings are posted <here> if you really care."

"This system sucks."

Couple years later...

"OK! The system now uses dice. Each rating rolls 1d8."
"Argh. I failed and I can't see the dice results. This system sucks."
