As their city was at war with another, he was given the option 'serve or die'. He happily traded a crowbar for a sword and learned how to make people dead for a number of years until he could desert and make another life for himself as a roguish bodyguard in the campaign city.It's pre-alpha stage notes, so I'm only pointing out some significant holes as pertained to my chargen experience. Pertaining to the earlier comment on the number of starting skills: There are several more instances of things like that which do not agree, or are not stated, or it's just not clear. But: pre-alpha. I’ll assume the ages in the starter professions are, once rolled, your starting age. Nothing mentions your starting age except that you have one. For a game where age is apparently so important, the starting age and classes being the same for each race is a little weird. It's very possible that no elf will ever begin play out of adolescence while most ogres will be ready for retirement.Personal note: I'd really have to be desperate to play a system that told me how old I was. I hated Traveller for that.The word ‘background’ and ‘tradition’ is apparently interchangeable.The whole 'ALL CAPS SKILL' thing within the regular text areas has to die now before it has a chance to spread.There is no Street Thug background to enter BurglarThere still is no Prison background so I said 'they gave him the option of being hung or joining the military'Burglar and Gladiator still says 'Cr +1' without ever mentioning what 'Cr' is.</blockquote>
