A great rules light game for fants of general generic roleplaying systems.

Not bad at all really. It is just that I read the more up to date version PDQ Sharp, and it is better. Also Sharp has illustrations, and more examples.

This is a great "rules light" game that focuses on storytelling and interesting characters. Characters are described by "qualities" rather than just numbers and this helps to really create interesting personas. There is enough structure to not leave you "up in the air" like some games, but it is still loose enough to let you make it your own.

I am a big fan of Truth & Justice so thi one is a no brainer for me. The pdq sharp edition of the rules system are very good as well.

Remniscent of THEATRIX, but with more of a structure to work with. I enjoyed what the PDQ Core Rules presented & it made me salivate for further works for the game system. Wonderfully simple, with enough structure to not overcomplicate the actual role-playing and adaptable GM-storytelling.

The Good: The PDQ (Prose Descriptive Qualities) is easily incorporated into other systems. Characters are rated by Qualities, but these Qualities also have "penumbras" where they -vaguely- apply. Also, Qualities are divided into -five- stat blocks: Mental, Physical, Social, Professional, and Other. The overall system is applicable to many situations due to its non-specific nature. For example, range is divided into "Near," "Middling," "Far," and "Too Far." Damage serves to reduce Qualities, as chosen by -the player-. The Bad: Players who like their games crunchy, or with setting-specific rules, will probably hate this. Although Qualities are easily adaptable to a given setting, they do not "scale." Period. You can't match Superman against Robin, for example.
