Starrun -
tabletop role-playing game about an alternative future in which on the one hand mankind has reached the stars, and on the other - back magic decent change it to the world. The development of space technology has led to the formation of the Group's free search. Free Search Group - small groups, free plowing the expanses of the universe. Members of the Free search called "Staruner". These are the players. According to the authors, they were inspired by the numerous works of fantasy and space (including and foreign).
The game is developed and published creative team of FASА. In 2014, the current edition - the fifth, came more than a hundred of game add-ons, about a hundred fiction books, video games and so forth.
The main action takes place in the years 2150-2186 (depending on version). The main force in the universe is the so-called confederation - a union of free systems populated Kinds-members (men, elves, dwarves, orcs and trolls), which in turn can be divided into types. Character creation is that the player chooses whether to be an ordinary human character or belong to one of the subtypes, and then adds the cyberimplants, magical abilities, skills and equipment. At the end of the adventure the master distributes "karma", which is used to improve attributes and abilities.
Antagonists are cosmic criminals, as well as so-called "Empire" who want to subjugate its neighbors.
The system - based on skills, not a class, but in the Book of Rules as examples for players and masters listed archetypes: the soldiers, Adepts, engineers, etc. The system drives the players in the framework of the specialization is only the fact that the character development is given very little.. resources, but generally in words allowed anything.
Prior to the fourth edition of all test works like this: every action (.. The use of skills, hit in combat, etc.) received the number, indicating the complexity of its commission. This number is increased or decreased by taking into account various factors of the environment, the state of the character, the tools used, and so on. Then, the player threw the number of dice equal to the value of skills and the number of those blocks, which fell to the complexity or higher, the degree of success meant. Difficulties may be more than six, in which case the precipitated Six "explode" (throw again and added to the first six). Similarly, for quite dizzying complexity: for example, if you need 20, it takes into account only those blocks in which three consecutive sixes drop and at least two in the fourth roll. A similar system was used in the line games "World of Darkness".
PS - Your comments and observations are very important for me
