I'm not a fan of this.
Two main reasons.
First, is that there typically come situations where you absolutely cannot win or cannot lose if there is no randomness unless it's a judgement call by the GM, which can create unfortunate tension between the GM and the players. I think both these things can create a frustration due to something controllable.
Second, randomness can lead to some of the most memorable game sessions at times. When the underdog gets lucky. When the player fumbles a sure thing. Lots of examples could be given, but it's the unexpected that often drive them.

No comment yet on the rest of the article, but given that it is the 21st century and our beloved literature classics do not contain POC for reasons everyone in said century should be well aware of, then anyone who sees such things as "reputational disasters" can $*%# right off. Just my $0.02; now back to the rest of the article and the topic at hand.

the brand suffered such reputational disasters as the release of a set featuring race-swapped versions of classic The Lord of the Rings characters

Or I could resolve it all with a single epic battle. Port the characters to Dragonbane. Set up a battle vs Azrael on a nice cemetery & chapel map I have. Duke it out. One session later, the story is done. Now this is tempting me again.

If I ever do get back to this story, it's probably going to be with the fourth system for Ember and Renfrey. Right now, Dragonbane: Mirth & Mayhem Roleplaying is the only fantasy system I feel like running solo. It's not likely though. Despite the hanging storyline, I feel done with these characters.

I suggest buying West End Game's Star Wars Second Edition Revised and Expanded rulebook. That's the system that inspired this one.
Again, excellent game. Highly recommended. Great job The High King, I hope things are going well for you!
