Deadly Simple Universal Role Playing System (DSURPS)
by Michael J. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/13/2016 12:06:42

Unfortunately the title is just too accurate. on the one hand it was too simple, and on the other too deadly. It could also have used an editor.

Deadly Simple Universal Role Playing System (DSURPS)
by Simon S. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/07/2012 04:18:57

DSURPS is a rules light attempt with the stated goal of being simple yet elegant. Average presentation is the first thing to hit you - text is neatly formatted, but with a few hanging sentences and typos, but tables are pretty ugly. The rules get off to a good start with character creation, which is a point buy system with advantages/disadvantages and skills without the need for attributes/characteristics. The included skills cover a nice list of running, fighting, shooting, talking and knowledge skills that should cover all situations.

Unfortunately DSURPS seems to fall apart near the end and my biggest gripe, and it's a biggy, is that I can't seem to find the rules that actually describe the task resolution system. When I attack I roll d20 vs the opponent's (I think, it's not clear) to hit number, but I don't know what this number is or how to determine it. How to I test skills? Not sure.

It's a free product, so a thumbs up to the author for bothering to put it together and making it available to us but I'm not sure I'd pay money for it.
