Artesia: Adventures in the Known World.Artesia also comes with a lifepath system, so you automatically come from somewhere in particular, and have a bit of history behind you - like a real person! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Then there are Bindings, which essentially are mutable ratings that connect you to people, things or whatever, in a variety of ways (e.g., Love, Fear, Doubt, Promise. . .) A very neat system, where your character's connections in the world really matter in terms of mechanics. Also, Social Level is a stat; pretty self-explanatory, I imagine. And the Relations Table covers just about every kind of relation you could have with another person, and how various checks are affected by each kind.Be warned though, the setting is very much part of it all. I'm sure you *could* use the system with another setting, but some bits and bobs would probably need to be modified along the way, in order to do so.Anyway, it's a gloriously written (and illustrated!) book. I recommend checking it out if you get the chance to.</blockquote>
