Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeph" data-source="post: 1534508" data-attributes="member: 6738">I feel a need to pimp my own stuff...<a href="http://www.jpatt.net/files/rpgs/pagoda.zip" target="_blank">Pagoda</a> (zipped .pdf file) is a game of melodramatic martial arts Wuxia action. If you liked Crouching Tiger, A Chinese Ghost Story, and Bride with White Hair, this is definitely the game for you. Simple rules, chargen takes literally five to ten minutes, and best of all, a character's personality and motivations are just as important to task resolution as their talents and skills. Pagoda will be available in print form as part of the No Press Anthology at either Origins or GenCon Indy, depending upon the publisher's schedule.<a href="http://home.mindspring.com/~jeph88/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/Exemplar.pdf" target="_blank">Exemplar</a> (.pdf file) is best described as a mix between Equilibrium, Star Wars, SG1, and Dune. A fast paced game of gun-fu, space dogfights, and psychic battles, with an intuitive resolution system and innovative contest rules. The players get to tell the GM what happens almost as much as the other way around! Also, the Exemplar universe is at once different, yet easy to grasp, with opportunities for political intrigue, survival adventure, information hunting, and, most of all, plain, good old action.<a href="http://home.mindspring.com/~jeph88/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/LoME.pdf" target="_blank">Legends of Middle Earth</a> (.pdf file) is like it sounds. An RPG set in Tolkien's Middle Earth built for legendary play. The system is similar to Exemplar's, but more gritty in terms of character generation and more streamlined in terms of play. Every aspect of the game, from character creation to combat to magic, attempts to capture the feel of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with no holds barred, take no prisoners genre emulation.<a href="http://home.mindspring.com/~jeph88/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/DarkSpell.pdf" target="_blank">Dark Spell</a> (.pdf file) has been described as strongly reminiscent of the Earthsea and Black Company series of novels. Rules-light traditional fantasy with a focus on magic. The core book features over 60 spells that range from the intuitive (Sleep) to the spectacular (Tunneling Torpedo, which can destroy multiple buildings and large ships). A prime innovation is the mechanical separation between Active Combat--fighting for a purpose--and Reactive Combat--just fighting to stay alive.Enjoy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />--Jeff</blockquote>
