Balanced system[edit]
A resource-based resolution system, especially one which pits the players and the game master on opposing sides, can be balanced by different ways - for instance, the game master only gains the extra resources that the players lose from their pool and gains nothing otherwise (Fastlane), or the game master's available resources may be determined by how much resources the players have at their disposal (Primetime Adventures).
A more extreme version is to make a partially closed system - for instance, all the participants start with a certain amount of resources at their employ, the total sum of which can never go up, only down. This guarantees a certain maximum length for the game.
