Rules-lite Science-fantasy RPG
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Heavily narrative
The gameplay is built around very narrative gameplay and theater of the mind. Not as strategic as some games, more investigative for the weirdness of the world.
Pro Rules lite
Very simple system employed for checking everything. Difficulty scale from 1-10. Multiply this difficulty by 3. Roll a 20 sider, and compare. Skills and situation can alter difficulty/roll.
Cons
Con Clunky mechanics for no real gain
Con Long term play can result in op characters
Due to the simplicity of the game, after a while, characters can become over powered.
