I was just hoping for something simple and fun. If you have a
working system with different experience, I'd happily have a go,
assuming it's not too complex to get to grips with :).

Not interested in realism. Only interested in enjoyment.

Besides, I think you're missing the point: I want to play a game
where experience is hard to come by *by definition*. Where "level 12
so-and-so" is impressive simply because statistically the only way
they made it to level 12 was by pulling off some impressive feats.

It's a mechanic I'd like to play with, but I was sure that 5 others
must have already done so... :)
