roleplay moments is nice, especially for groups where that doesn't come naturally.
- Setting specific: I like the Huckster magic in Deadlands (not the new version, their first go at it). Gambling with the devil for success is always fun.

- The fact dice can ace means there's always a chance of success, even if you're not great at something so it's worth a try!
- No set progression path - you can start out building, saying, a gunslinger, but that doesn't stop you later focusing on melee capability if you want...

This is "I know that Jesus is a magic demigod, and the important thing is to show God the respect that he deserves", but actually the story of the Nativity is, "I don't know who this stranger is, but I can see they need help, and I'm going to be compassionate whether he deserves it or not."
