[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7732984, member: 5142"] It's not crunchy at all, and it has been a breeze to teach newcomers to RPGs. It's similar to a D&D lite system that uses 3d6. The main novelty mechanic is the stunt point system. You have 3d6. Two dice are one color and the third die - the dragon/stunt/action die - is another color. When you roll doubles on any two dice, then you generate a number of stunt points equal to the number on the Stunt Die, which can be spent on a range of cool extra benefits. There are three variations of the rules set: Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE, and Blue Rose AGE. The system was initially developed for the Dragon Age Tabletop RPG. A more generic rules set was created for Fantasy Age, which primarily changes the attributes and magic system. And then they converted Blue Rose (True20) to Fantasy Age, but this again changes the magic system to more akin to the original incarnation of Blue Rose. True20 is one of my favorite systems of yore, but it unfortunately suffers from many of the same shortcomings of 3.0, being released before even 3.5's revisions. True20 could be fairly easily updated for 5e's rulesets. Fantasy AGE, in some regards, is a successor to True20, albeit built around 3d6. But I also suspect that Modern AGE's classless system would mark a better approach for a True20 successor. [/QUOTE]
