I've been extracting the shared-dice-mechanic system from Cloudship Alantis. My aim is to have one system document and then repackage Cloudship Atlantis and Commando 1940 as setting downloads. I used the system for both.

My draft is in and I need a name for it. It's only a short document, it's only a draft. I need to sharpen the language up and add examples. That will come.

I was thinking "Dice in the hat" because the core mechanic is that the players share a bunch of dice and when they run out, they have to improvise or choose to fail.

Any better names?

"The Greater Good" perhaps?

That looks like a really elegant system for some good storytelling.

I might throw together a supplement for it as well if you don't mind.

The "Common Cause" system? Except it can definitely spiral out of that definition with a greedy player. Still that's what it's trying to engender in the players.

The "Leave Some Dice For Me" system?

The "Take A Penny Leave A Penny" system? I don't know if you brits have those at your shops so the reference could be lost.

One simple suggestion: "Potluck". It seems like the system is all about what people bring to the table and share.

beard rage!!!

Although funny, it should really attempt to describe the core mechanic!
