Another player Racial Summary Physiology: The Nanri are a small, bipedal, verminoid race bearing a resemblance to upright Terran mice.

The United Nations was created in 1945 following the second world War that pitted all of the Earth's major nation states of that era against one another. Though more succesful than its predecessor the League of Nations, the United Nations ultimately proved incapable by the early 22nd century of prev...

Humans are a species of mammalian bipeds native to the planet Earth in the Sol star system. An uninteresting lifeform, Humans exhibit few exceptional physical qualities compared to many other alien creatures. They have average weight, height, strength, and intelligence, and are neither overly feroc...

Cliff

sure been dead here for a while.
Any tidbits to drum up excitement?

Just makes it all easy to determine and include in one roll. Yet graduates the two success levels a bit.
Seen it used to good effect in a few other games

I like the idea of making Minor successes more common than Major to represent extra! value, rather than 1/2 the time. if 20% of all rolls were major it would allow a more graduated system. it is very easy to institute, Simply call any result ending in 5 or 0 a Major all other results Major. If the r...

Very good in depth game with some balance problems but I would say 7-10 times as complicated in learning curve over Vbam.
