It'd be interesting, and I'm absolutely sure someone's tried it. Still, a "No one fails" system would be... neat. Success is not a matter of avoiding failure, but of doing better than you could.

E:Thinking on it more, it could actually be a pretty bleak scenario to work with. Even success isn't enough for victory... win a thousand thousand battles, still lose the war. Etc., so forth, so on. That would be even more interesting.

E2: And now I'm thinking about asymmetric systems. What would a tabletop session look like when half the players are running the D&D ruleset, the other half RIFTS, and the NPCs Exhalted?

Biggest snag to this is number conversion, possibly followed fairly closely by effect conversion (stunned/poisoned/blind).

You'd probably have more luck just building them differently, since in most cases it'd just turn into a numbers difference anyway, and when it doesn't you'd have more control over precisely what the differences were.

A year or half ago, I tried that, then switchedto a pure system xD

[Pnx]

I finally got internet back after ages of it being out all day and me being bored. Yay!

However it's now about time for bed, so it better be working when I get up again.

I swear this one sounds fairly viable.

I'm the only one in the house, got music up really loud and I'm making chain maille. Also it's supposed to rain.

In my opinion, that is an awesomely spent afternoon.
AND tomorrow is a pupil free day. So I'll be doing exactly the same thing then

[...]And what's ahead? That's too early to say, but rest assured that I haven't, and will not, leave The Longest Journey and Dreamfall fans in the dark forever. Chapters is going to happen, and hopefully this year you'll know when and how.[...]
