Invoking diceless mechanics in the exact same place where you would normally roll dice is a strange in-between place in design, but it has its own aesthetics. I'm not a huge fan of resource manipulation as a strong replacement, but otherwise think its a fertile place to make games, especially for audiences who aren't necessarily sold on (or comfortable with) other kinds of freeform.
