MEMM - A system design

   What better time to come up with a system than at work?
   So. I have to pen it.
   Type it.
   Whatever.
   
   You, gentlemen and gentle-damsels may aid me, though.
   
   Basic idea: characters are built by:
   *adding dice to the Dice Pool
   *adding Dice Slots to your attributes
   *using skill cards to grant you more uses for dice.
   *it is a boardgame-ish system suitable for a combative RPG or pure board game.
   
   The Dice Pool:
   These are the dice you may distribute amongst your attributes each turn. You roll them all, then pick which die goes where.
   
   Dice Slots:
   Each of the four attributes is expressed by a number of slots. So a puny character may place only one die in Might, whereas a mighty one may have 5 Dice Slots and may dump up to five dice there.
   
   The Skills:
   These are cards that you add to your character deck. They let you use special dice combinations placed under certain attributes to greater effect.
   
   The Idea: the right combination of luck, clever dice placement and skill use should lead to victory.

   Might I suggest you look at the Marvel RPG system from a few years ago.  It was a resource allocation game.  Instead of raw points, you would use dice.  It woulod be somethign that might help.
