I like how Pathfinder 2E does it. A 20 brings your result one tier higher. A 1 brings your result one tier lower. With a high enough base expertise, you can still succeed when rolling a 1, just not as awesome as you normally are. And a 20 isn’t a guarantee against really strong foes.
Patricia C Wrede. The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. The titles for the series are below:
Dealing with Dragons
Searching for Dragons
Calling on Dragons
Talking to Dragons
Fantasy stories with each book centered around one protagonist and a meta take of your usual fairy tales. And includes wizards, dragons, princesses too.
I just view it as a way of supporting the creators and maybe some day there will be some more material and/or a fellow player comes across it and maybe we can game together.
