"Spell levels per day pool?"

Spells have levels with varying mp cost. But say you have a mp pool of 15 you can cast 15 level 1 spells that cost 1 point or 5 level 3 spells that cost 3 points or any combination of the two as long as you have the required mp to spend. You aren't stuck with a flat 3 level 3 and 6 level one spells. It's similar to most jrpgs in that respect.

"You mean like resolve points?"

Yes or hero points from Mutants & Masterminds, bennies from savage worlds, etc, etc.

As to whether this plays out well or not only time can tell. Truth be told when I had the original idea I had planned to use an already existing system. The only issue is that as we all know the industry is filled with Marxist lunatics who would do their best to cancel me and take away my access to their rules the moment they found out I wouldn't worship at the altar of Stalin. So I used the tools that were available to everyone without having to A- be beholden to the 'powers that be' and B possess the mechanical aptitude of Richard Garfield or Gary Gygax.

Reception from the players who have given it a shot so far has been good. These are all people I know, however, so the real test begins when it gets let into the wild. At this point in time though, it has become something of a matter of pride. Even if it fails I'm going to be satisfied that I did my best to get something out there. The SJWs told me to piss off and make my own thing so I did.

One last point that I think is worth mentioning. From OPs post I think it is pretty clear that most people's issues with gaming these days aren't the systems that games are running on. Orcs not being proper villains and elements such as crusades being removed from games are a narrative thing. One of the things I am trying to achieve is the creation of a setting that is fun, deep and actually celebrates Western culture instead of shitting on it at every possible turn. If other companies tell their old customer base that they aren't welcome anymore because of their 'whiteness', wrong thing or refusal to be lectured on gender studies in their entertainment time then I welcome these people with open arms since I'm one of them.

I'm also currently working on a book. It has nothing to do with this particular project though as it's simply a collection of short stories that each feature their own setting.
