Use different mechanics where needed, but don't introduce too many different ways of doing things or you'll make the game harder to learn and play.

Strangely, must other things (like attributes, action resolutions, combat, health, weapons, etc.) seems right to me (at least for me, but that was my goal), although they mustly all depends on the skill representation somewhere. By skills, I include both usage (how to use it), representation (# of dice, bonus, adjective?) and definitions (what they supposed to represent). from the most simple to the most complicate. I always ended unsatisfied, whatever I do, use, choose. While its themes might be obvious and its dialogue unsophisticated, this quest for remembrance results in a compelling middle-grade mystery only occasionally burdened by dull gameplay.Skills, skills, skills.
