The system is exactly as advertised, and I like it a lot. It needs some tweaking, I think. The book is difficult to use and poorly edited. There isn't even a table of contents.

Really could have been better laid out, and better thought out. For instance, it costs so much to raise an Attribute, but it costs much less for a Feat that rasies that very same Attribute. Why, then, bother paying the greater cost? Other aspects of the way the skill and feat system work together bother me, but overall the fixes seem simple; I only wonder why I have to fix something I paid for.

However, the system itself is great!! It's a copy of the system Talislanta has used from the mid-eighties (since Morrigan Press is now producing Talislanta, I guess that makes sense). The game allows for nearly infinite variation of stunts, nearly anything can be attempted (within reason, you will probably not kill a dragon with your dagger, but maybe...)

I liked it overall, finding the problems to be only minor and the ease of play the same as I remembered from Talislanta. I have purchased other products for this system, and do not regret any of them. If only I had the time to play everything.

The Omni System is a good product overall. It distills the basic elements of the Talislanta system into an easy to use rpg framework. It's a quick playing system and fairly light on rules. It could be used easily to play fantasy and sci-fi games.

My only real complaints were the race and monster creation sections. There are sample races given, but no details as to how the abilities they were given are decided. Monsters get even less detail, with a brief mention of how to stat one up, but not even a sample.

Overall a good buy, but could be better.
