Thread starter wilder Start date Nov 27, Good day last year, i was sold on the game Secret of Ziran. Validated User. Last edited: Nov 27, If need be, I can post it here if you like Groovy looking game haven't had a chance to run it yet but the rpg. I never could figure out how the book was as "unreadable" as so many liked to rail about, but whatever floats their boat I guess.
I never had any problems with my first printing. It never seemed to get much support before being dropped by WW. I suspect part of the problem was just that people that would be interested in it already had Eberron and it's always easier to get folks to go with a new setting that matches rules they already know, instead of trying to sell 'em on a new system too.
For me, unfortunately, suffered from the syndrome of trying to much to mix background information with rules. I'm an old kind of gamer I suppose. I want rules in one place with plenty of examples tying it all in with the background and background in a different place.
This is both clever and counterintuitive, in that it means that a higher finesse level will not improve your abilities when situations that demand dice basically all stressful situations come up. The idea of not needing rolls is presented pretty well, but the rest of the book is pretty roll-tastic.
All that said, the most profoundly interesting mechanic in the game is one which sees use in combat and magic. Like many systems, the amount a roll succeeds by — the margin of success MoS — improves a roll. Outside of combat, this is done simply enough. Every 5 points you beat the target by grants you an additional success which lets you color the outcome.
In combat and magic, this is much more flexible and potent. In these cases, MoS is effectively a currency you can spend for extra effects. For combat, the number of things you can do grows with skill and with the purchase of special tricks.
In magic, these are ways to customize a spell effect. You are already succeeding, so you can now succeed in an even more cool fashion.
Contrast that with the classic called shot methodology of increasing difficulty, making it more likely the character will just whiff.
Rune magic is fantastically well done. Combat styles are diverse and flexible and full of fun ideas like a pickpocketing martial art but those are more clever diversions that the real meat of things.
There are also annoyances. Classic Advantages and disadvantages beg for abuse. Damage is location based, and weapons and armor are all pretty old school in their implementation. Plugging this into Angel or Buffy may be a formula for all that is good in the world.
It is the best example of a promising setting which, once everything is explained, is actually quite stupid. About Arras WordPress Theme.
