Fantastic. If you buy one RPG, make it this one!, 4 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I have played a fair few systems and this one is easily the best.With character creation there is no more complaining that someone else got better die rolls than you, no more restrictive character classes. You can play anyone (or anything) you want. The rest of the rules are easy to follow. Combat can be Basic or Advanced. Basic is easier and faster, while Advanced allows more detail. Also, it does not fall into the trap of allowing high level characters to sustain endless wounds without dying. Combat is lethal, and a good sword thrust will hurt anyone. All the rules from drowning (sorry, swimming) to bargaining for favours follow the same logical procedures. You advance gradually, not 'Oh look, all my abilities have suddenly shot up'. My only criticism is that because the rules are so generic, you need to either create your own world, or buy a world supplement. Most other RPGs (because they are designed for a certain world) come with a milleu to play in. Just use your imagination (or there are loads of supplements out there)
