@copacetic DnD is not the same as RPGs. The kind of mechanic was there long before DnD3. And only a few years later, we got Forge games that had radically different takes on resolution.

It's ONE system that works reasonably well for human like characters. There are dozens of others that do the same.
@Lem453 There are cargo transporters and people transporters. The people transporters are more faithful. The replicators are more like cargo transporters. See "Heisenberg Compensator" https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Heisenberg_compensator
Look at all the gardening videos on YouTube. People love producing food. Even a rather small patch produces more of something than you can eat. (If you want to eat other things too)
The only thing non industrial local gardening won't you give is consistency. When certain produce is ripe there suddenly is a lot, and then not. They might solve this with people grade transporters.
@tissek From a PbtA perspective that would be weird. The game explicitly does away with situational modifiers.
You are of course free to use whatever circumstance to explain a good/bad roll thereafter.
I only mention this because you explicitly named the system.
The Vulcan rebels in In A Mirror Darkly used rings too. I find it unlikely they benefitted from Earth inventions.
@Jestersage With demotion you mean that McCoy becomes CMO? Maybe MBenga got sick of the paper work. He stresses that he is "just a doctor now" a few times.
When someone replies via Masto to a lemmy/kbin post, there will be mentions in there. Like is common on Masto.
And the lemmy/kbin channel is shown as having retootet the messages, when you follow one from Masto.
Imagine you follow a reddit channel from Twitter. It works but you can see where it's glued together. For example I cannot downvote via Masto. (Which might be a bonus.)
@Wooster
I very much dislike the final episode of Prodigy. We have a ship controlled by a bunch of kids, an admiral who should be in charge of any mission but this one, and timetravelling assassins.
It's a great setup for literally anything but space fleet combat.
