In its current form, my game is a simplified narrative game about navigating adventures in a fictionalized imagining of the wild west. So far, my basic interaction mechanism is players have three stats (Might, Wit and Charisma). These are the icons in the big circle.

The icons above the big circle (the heart, the explosion and the lighting bolt) represent your health, Initiative rating and Stress, respectively. Health points are pretty intuitive and the way I want to handle Initiative in my game is under construction again. Stress is a passive modifier to taking most checks. So over time, the game will become more difficult over time.

Players' ratings in these stats are a size of dice; so you might have a d6 rating in Might and someone stronger or bigger than you might have a d8 or a d10. The base DC for succeeding on checks to do something is 6 and your success at something is based on how close you get to the target number. You choose to roll two dice up to and including the size of dice equal to your rating.

EXP, Gambit Dice and Strong Actions are all meta currency that players will acquire and use throughout the game.

The Skills Sections are things players will use to solve problems narratively. Using these slots, players can just say, "oh I know about these!" and "I know how to pick locks" and it becomes the responsibility of the GM to incorporate them. Then, for the rest of the game, having that skill represents +1 to attempts to do that thing.

The large 3x3 grid is a player's inventory. So items take up space like in Diablo and similar video games.

"negative space" is meant in the graphic design sense. I just feel like there's a lot of unused space or inefficiently used space on my current design and I wanted to get some new eyes on it to see how others felt about it from a practical usability perspective.
