+1 for me on the RNG aspect of discoveries which I forgot to mention in my thread

It seems like a very tabletop aspect to me, which is fine, but then usually in a tabletop setting characters' skills and experience are taken into account when the die is rolled, which it isn't here because we haven't got stats up for our characters

I'm not sure if there's an immediate solution that doesn't just create my work for you guys, but I just wanted to toss my two cents in with Curt.
