Other Worlds is a roleplaying game of heroic action and adventure for any genre. The game is driven by description: descriptions of characters, details of actions, and dramatic visualisations. Numbers and dice rolls are secondary to the action; in fact, you will find that in Other Worlds the rules serve to emphasise the story and increase the drama rather than getting in their way.

This book contains the following material:

A comprehensive worldbuilding procedure that the whole group gets to take part in
Over 100 ready-to-use character templates, from assassins to xenoarchaeologists and everything else in between
Detailed guidelines on creating your own cultural archetypes, professions, trademark powers, supporting characters, and adventure locations
A simple, elegant conflict resolution procedure that can handle any situation
Turn-based set piece rules to handle the more important conflicts of your story
A wealth of practical advice on how to get the most out of play, based on real experience at the games table
Quick-start genre packages for fantasy, horror, pirates, science fiction, superheroes, and the wild west

"If you love worldbuilding, this is your game" - Blake Hutchins, RPG.net review

OW is a cinematic-style role playing game. It has good mechanics for describing abilities abstractly. The book is lengthy but easy to read and understand. It does handle a wide variety of game worlds. OW lives up to the hype. [...]

An awesome product. This book does, for me, what HeroWars/HeroQuest set out to do...build a rules-medium Narrativist RPG where The Setting Matters. Building on Robin Laws' foundations, this iteration gets it right: it's smooth, infinitely [...]

I've had a read through of Other Worlds, and in some ways I like what I see and in some ways I don't. There's a lot to this book, and I think it is well written and explained. I'm just not quite so sure that Mark managed to achieve the rules light syst [...]
