Humble Beginnings

I've been a pen and pencil roleplayer for twenty years. I have played a lot of games. I have run a lot of games. I have experienced many different systems. I have not been entirely satisfied with any system that I've tried. So, I've decided to write my own system. I have never done this before. I do not expect it to be perfect, for perfection does not exist. Yet, I do hope to come close to creating a perfect system for me. Perhaps it will come close to being perfect for some others as well?

I have a number of design goals. This is not an exhaustive list, but does include some basic goals:

• Medium-light system - relatively few rules to remember
• Universal task resolution
• Tactical play without rules bloat
• Simple and fast character creation
• Easy to GM
• Good as a "pick-up" game
• Good as an introduction to pen and pencil rpgs
• No "geek dice" required - everything can be done with six sided dice and counters

That's it for now. I hope that those of you that decide to follow my progress enjoy the journey as much as I do.
