I don't particualarly care for diceless systems.  I always feel that if
you
know what is going to happen, why play the game?  I like that chance of
failure even when you are all but guarantied victory of that "if I can
get
a 6 I'll hurt you".  That's part of the game for me.  Guess that's why I
don't play chess.
