This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: The Butcher;4799621d10-1d10 with 10s counting 0s (i.e. not counting) and 9s exploding both ways, with an alternate playing card-based resolution system. Did I get it right? Sounds good(...)

The card mechanic is not there for alternate resolution but rather serves as a kind of "luck" mechanic that's more random and subtle and less prone to lead to plot immunity than the usual "hero points/bennies/style points" sometimes turn out.
I don't mind "hero points" per se, but they're definitely not always appropriate. 2FT's card mechanic delivers a fun alternative.

Quote from: The Butcher;479962(...)Savage Worlds is "fast, furious and fun" enough for me. What I'm looking  for is a system with some more teeth. SW has too much script immunity  going on for my tastes. I want to know who is it that created the "pulp  can't be gritty" meme and kill this person dead.

I'd say that 2FT offers exactly what you're looking for.
