I think Roll And Move could really do with some exploration. There isn't really such a thing as 'Bad Mechanics', only underdeveloped ones and rolling a big load of dice can be a lot of fun on a base level.

I agree. Roll and Move gets a bad rap because it conjures images of simple and bad designs like Monopoly and Sorry where this mechanic is very strict and unmerciful. But it can be used better and has. A Touch of Evil uses it to randomize limited options each turn. Depending on board layout, it's really no better or worse than other "start of your turn" randomizers like card drawing or dice pool rolling.
