Elder Sign
I hear all the time that Elder Sign is too easy. Often, when pressed, it turns out that players are not paying the failure cost when focusing a die. When you fail a roll in Elder Sign, you set aside one die before continuing to roll another try at an adventure. If you choose to focus a die, you still must pay the cost of failure and set aside one die. This is in addition to the die that you are focusing. The same goes when assisting a roll. Also you must focus and assist on separate rolls.
Making sure to pay these costs burns through your dice pool rather quickly. It adds tension to the game and raises the overall difficulty (and fun) level.
I hope this helps.
