After receiving requests from the last decade, I finally updated this RPG site for a more modern feel. Aside from minor formatting problems, I feel that it’s done and completely playable. Sure it’s not polished like many of the commercial RPGs out there, but that’s to be expected from a homebrew game system. At least, in the early development of this RPG, a group of friends and I play-tested this RPG. It all worked out fine.
I originally started writing this game in the late 80s and early 90s. It was a time when paper and pencil RPGs were the norm. It’s unfortunate that with the advent of card and computer RPG games, the pen and pencil games went to a rapid decline as well as the ability for players to use their imaginations in games. This was the basis of a role-playing game...to use your imagination to “play” the role of your character. In my opinion, todays computer RPG games don’t deserve to be called RPGs. You don’t play a role our use your imagination, but to control a pre-made character in a series of events...always linear. Therefore a more appropriate term for this genre of games should be called “simulated adventure games.”
But anyway, I want to thank all the people around the world that tried to keep this RPG alive and requested me to post it once again. I dedicate this RPG to all of you hard-core role-playing gamers. I will my very best to add more material to game in the future. Unlike the times when I originally wrote this game, I don’t have time dedicated to upkeep this RPG. As with us “old-time gamers,” we all have real jobs, families, businesses to run, etc. And most of us play RPGs very little nowadays. But to a new generation of real RPG gamers, keep the genre alive.
