That makes me want to read it more to see what others were designing or tinkering with around that age. That's the age that many of my ideas started getting put down on paper. I am interested in seeing the updates.Charlie Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899037807693796298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752950690535469488.post-82851001189668996452012-02-19T09:29:43.684-06:002012-02-19T09:29:43.684-06:00I'll be the first to admit, though it has some...I'll be the first to admit, though it has some workable kernels, The System is probably not easily playable for most "as is." I was 15 or 16 years old when I originally wrote this back in the mid-80s and it has its flaws. The underlying system, however, has been expanded and provided the foundation for Starmasters and updated version of The System (The System: Expanded,) which I've been working on lately. The key difference between the original version of The System and the newer rulesets is a new action table. It replaces the klunky 4d6 Odds Table with a d20 based Action Table. It allows both active actions (like attacks) and passive actions (like saving throws) on the same table, while automatically building in a simple "exploding die" system for critical failures and outstanding successes. (I will look to update about both Starmasters and The System: Expanded on the blog as we are able to get back to playtesting them.)New Big Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412016128904985180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752950690535469488.post-46234357937960935832012-02-19T08:39:48.030-06:002012-02-19T08:39:48.030-06:00I downloaded it and I will check it out.
