My RPG (a commercial one) The Chevian Chronicles uses a system that
I invented, and I roll dice quite often, but by no means all of the
time -- most of the time I use skill levels, etc, as a guideline.
Having said that, TCC is of a very different format to most (it's
kind of a cross between En Garde! and D&D).

I also run the game purely by post, reckoning that this reduces the
perceived advantage of email play.  Players can submit their orders
however they like, though.

Sorry this is verging on an advert...  ;o)
