This is the eXpanded Edition of a game I wrote a few months ago.
Here's a sample player character:
Here's a sample combat:Nuraida: a Jugalian Mercenary. Luck 12, Breath 9.
She has adopted a pup from the white wolf's hidden den, survived a bear's embrace, been a mercenary at the gate of Thelav, and been taken a prisoner of war.
She's equipped with a greataxe and a chain byrnie, and a bag of copper solars.
Here's a sample NPC:Nuraida crouched with her axe held two-handed, ready to attack or evade the massive clockwork scorpion. Its iron-plated body bore numerous dents; this was not its first affray. She heard the hissing of steam as it moved, its essence-fired engine operating in a closed loop. Waves of heat rose from the cooling fins around its body.It sprang forward. Nuraida leapt aside and swung her axe: 3d6k2+4 = 10. She avoided the scorpion's pincers and tail, but it kicked her square in the shoulder with one of its legs, and she stumbled. -2 Luck = 10.
Queen of Nights
Apparently youthful and lovely, corrupt and cruel, she (sometimes he) rules a seedier world than the Captain. For illicit pleasures of every sort, the Queen of Nights is the ultimate arranger. Like the Captain of Industry, the Queen of Nights caresses all parts of the Knife. She has her main boudoir in Whisper Street. DS 14 (unliving).
