I have used the Mythic system for a long time. I love the creativity and modularity of that system, but I have always felt just a little unsatisfied with the way that the chaos factor changes the likelihood of getting a yes. Additionally, I wanted a system that was simpler to use, with less reliance on modifiers, multiple dice, and tracking of numeric chaos factors.
Morning Coffee Solo Variations (MCSV) comes very close to what I wanted. Rather than a chaos factor that needs to be tracked, and that provides a moving target for interpretation during rolls, it has an elegant system of chaos dice. When the chaos factor changes, move the chaos die up or down a step from d4 to d20. The chaotic outcomes for scene setup and Yes/No questions use fixed numbers for each result. This makes the outcomes easier to remember. However, MCSV just gives the and ..., but ..., and random event modifiers for Yes/No questions. I always liked the exceptional results in Mythic, so I have modified the qualification table to add exceptional as an option. I also reduced the odds of an oracle modifier, bringing them closer to those in Mythic.
The gtsv_* files contain the PDF versions of the full system in all combinations of A4, letter, full-colour, and print-friendly versions.
The gtsv_essential_tables_* files contain just the essential system tables without any of the explanatory text. Hopefully perfect for printing as a reference.
