FEAR RPG (1st Ed.)

a Flexible, Easy And Realistic fantasy Role-Playing Game From the introduction: A complete system of rules that combines realism with playability. Some role-playing games are so simplistic that any realism is lost. Ever played a game where: only thieves can pick locks? rapiers do the same type of damage as clubs? each combatant makes one attack every ten seconds, and can only wear one type of armour? Some role-playing games are so complex that they become unplayable. Ever played a game where: each character has hundreds of different skills? keeping track of damage in combat requires a qualification in accountancy? you have to buy twenty rulebooks to get a decent set of rules? This game has been designed from scratch to be quick to learn, simple to play, yet realistic and flexible. It is good for novice role-players – basically anyone who’s ever read a fantasy novel – and experts who’ve been role-playing for years. It provides: 12 fantasy PC races; 100 or more detailed monster descriptions; 300 or more spells in 16 schools of magic; a simple and flexible skill development system; a realistic combat system FEAR RPG can be adapted to virtually any fantasy world ever invented. Just add dice and imagination...
