The Year Zero Engine is very flexible and I like the fact that it uses six sided dice, the most common size. However, once you get an attribute and a skill going with possibly a modifier or two you can rapidly end up rolling a lot of them! In our first play test, being able to roll lots of dice easily was a sticking point, especially given the Streetwise Scene Strain mechanic (rather like Stress in Alien RPG) where rolling Banes (1s) can add dice to future pools for everyone.
