He gets to decide what happens based on the effective description of your actions etc., and throws challenges your way. All in all it’s a biased system that didn’t work well, but it DID introduce me nicely to making things up on the fly in an RP game, which has served me well in the years since then!

The idea of stats being in flux until a roll actualizes them is cool, too. I may try this with my current gaming group as well. I think I want to try using a d6 system for it.. 1d6 for each stat, rolled with 1/2/3d6 depending on how I think they described something. 1d6 for something like “I hit it.”, 2d6 for “I swing my blade at the goblin’s skull!” and 3d6 for something amazing, like “I’d like to run up to the goblin and dive into a slide, knocking his feet out from under him. While he’s falling, I’ll reverse the momentum on my sword and drive it up through his chin and into his brain!” or something entertaining like that. Add in some minor bonuses for items/circumstance (+1 through +3 I guess?) and it’s deep enough for most things as long as I can ad hoc..

It might work! >.>
