r/Troika

Excluding main book. What are the top 5 materials, settings, adventures you would recommend?

Currently planning on testing out the following houserules with a group fresh to Troika. Thought I'd see if any of yous see any potential issues I don't or if you've tested out similar rules to positive/negative results.

1. Only rolling high. You always add your relevant Skill to the roll and when unopposed your Target Number is 14 (this leaves the probability of success unchanged). This also allows for rule 2:
2. Crits. Double 6s are superior successes, double 1s are devastating failures. Not just when specifically making attacks or casting spells.
3. A split between General Skill and Advanced Skills. If you roll 4 for your general skill, then you are a specialist and will add 6 to Advanced Skills, while if you roll 6 for your Skill then you are a generalist and will add 4 to your Advanced Skills. If you roll 5 you add 5 to both. The idea is to maintain variety while removing the feel-bad aspect of rolling low on your Skill.
4. Allowing the spending of Luck for casting spells. Stamina is a more plentiful resource but also one for which you have more dire consequences for losing. So I think it'll be interesting to see how players decide. I also think it'll make Spells feel just a little more magic-y and strange if you can sacrifice your physical energy or something more intangible and connected to fate itself.
5. Player-chosen initiative. The initiative system is the thing people most often remove from Troika. What I always hear is that people respect the feeling of chaos and randomness but have horror stories of one player not getting to act in combat for 3 sessions in a row. I want that feeling of chaos and randomness though. So why not allow the players to share tokens and choose who acts, the same way it works for enemies? That player can then take that token until the next round, to indicate they aren't to act until everyone else has at least once too.

I'm also going to be allowing the players to trade stats between each other during character creation.
