I've considered doing the same to the core ruleset with reagards to fantasy, horror, spys and supers. But then I also think my time is better spent just getting the base system stable and as bulletproof as I can and let others go down those paths. I’m interested in seeing your genre adpatation.

The code was relatively simple, only a few hundred lines, and it only addresses the combat nature of the system. Numerous other facets of the game will need to be examined via play testing. However, for what I desired, the system appears to work well. I've begun drafting a genre adaptation of the system to an Old West style game. I foresee an few more rounds of automated testing as I progress but the bulk will need to be test cases for skills and playability. I'm no expert in terms of balance so I hope to learn a few things as I work my way forward. In the end, its all for fun. I’d not call it an extreme.

Thanks for that, I think it shows the both the power of a simple ruleset as well as the ease of balancing it. At least if I read your outcomes correctly, the system returns the results it promises.
