YSGARTH ROLE-PLAYING SYSTEM
Ysgarth has revolutionized the world of role-playing. It was the
first truly believable and skill-oriented system to emphasize background
and character development, while remaining fun and flexible. We are
constantly playtesting and working on the game system so that we can make
sure that with every new edition it is the most progressive and up to
date role-playing system on the market.
Ysgarth has been heralded as the start of a new generation in
role-playing, and called Ôthe best FRP buy of this or any yearÕ by
Spacegamer Magazine. The 4th edition of Ysgarth was nominated as ÔBest
Role-Playing GameÕ in the Origins Awards for 1984 and the 5th edition
garnered two nominations as ÔBest Role-Playing GameÕ in the SIGMA Awards
from 1987 and 1988.
Ysgarth is a skill based system. It lets you create the
character you want, with an original personality, in a complete and
believable world background. It is uniquely flexible, realistic and
playable. Ysgarth will give you your greatest opportunities for
imaginative adventure. The best thing about Ysgarth is that we never
rest on our laurels. It is a living system from an active campaign, and
is being constantly playtested and improved.
The classic 4th edition has been out of print for a while and the
5th edition has just gone out of print, but in our constant effort to
offer you the best, we are about to release the new sixth edition. It
includes all of the material which was in the earlier editions, plus lots
of additional background material and completely updated mechanics. ItÕs
the simplest most flexible fantasy system ever.
The 6th edition will be released in two books, The Ysgarth System
and The World of Ysgarth. The first book will contain all of the
mechanics for character creation, skills, combat, magic and religion.
The second book will be all world background, campaign information,
adventures and world design guidelines. Each book will be over 100 pages
of text, profusely illustrated and reasonably priced. The sixth edition
maintains the traditions of Ysgarth in a more streamlined form allowing
for maximum realism and playability. Among the features which make
Ysgarth unique are a single-roll hit and location system for combat,
fully customizable spell casting with spells integrated into the skill
system, actual mechanics and systems for race and society design, skills
learned in groupings which encourage diversity, racial benefits which
help focus skills, and many other features which make the game as
flexible and comprehensive as possible. This edition is fully compatible
with adventures and supplements for the previous edition so the wide
range of supporting material will still be available.
Individually the books of the sixth edition of Ysgarth will sell
for $12 each. As a set they will sell for $20. But for a limited time
you can pre-order the set for only $15 and it will be shipped as soon as
it is released. (4600)


TO CHALLENGE TOMORROW
To Challenge Tomorrow is a flexible and innovative role-playing
system, designed to be playable in Science Fiction and Historical
backgrounds of all sorts. It is uniquely simple and realistic, covering
many possibilities: espionage, military, occult, stellar exploration, and
time travel. Dragon magazine said of TCT: Ôthe mechanics are appealing,
the ideas are attractiveÕ. The second edition of TCT was nominated as
ÔBest Role-Playing GameÕ in the Origins Awards for 1983.
To Challenge Tomorrow is designed for flexible use in any
situation, with comprehensive mechanics and skill lists. It is the first
system to provide mechanics which are really independent and not tied
down to any single period or world, while still fun and playable. TCT
is the most flexible skill based system available, so you can create
characters with real personality free from arbitrary limits.
The basic rules of TCT are now available in a single booklet
with complete mechanics for use with any of the dozen background
supplements already in print. Although the second edition of the
complete rules is currently out of print, the third edition will be
released shortly, in a single volume, and can be ordered in advance. It
contains all the basic mechanics that are in the basic rules, plus
expanded skill descriptions, background and setting design guidelines,
