Dice are pretty much synonymous with RPGs, but there are a few rare systems that forego them altogether, like Castle Falkenstein.

What are some other systems that don't use dice? Are there any that completely remove luck/random chance on "important player actions"?

Wyrd Games's Through the Breech uses a deck of standard playing cards with modified suits. You can use normal playing cards with their suit cheat sheet.

It is based on their table top skirmish game Malifaux. Set in a magical world connected to our own through the Breech. It is a Victorian Steampunk horror setting.
