Victory or Death! (near-future)

I would say "cyberpunk" — but that's now, innit?

Just amp it up a little and we have "near-future".

Any interest?

VICTORY OR DEATH: rules

You start with 3 points.

Assign your points among the attributes Clever, Tough, and Cool. The lowest score possible is -2. The highest score possible is 3.

When you face a meaningful risk, roll one d6. Add an applicable attribute score if any. Subtract 1 if the risk is greater than 1/2, subtract 2 if the risk is greater than 2/3.

Result:
-1 or less: disastrous (DEATH + worse)
+8 or better: exceptionally good (VICTORY + more).
Otherwise, ODD is BAD and smaller is worse (+7 is a yawner); EVEN is GOOD and larger is better (+0 is trifling).

Sounds an interesting setting. What's the idea? Fighting gladiator style or following some story plot?
