Game Rules

• Live-Action! Core Rules
  This book provides comprehensive rules that allow players to create theatric live-action roleplaying events with strong characterization and compelling plots. Play by any size group, in any time period and across all genres is possible. The rules take a formalistic approach to game design to ensure the system is easily playable and challenging at all levels of experience. The overarching concept uses key words to define all the effects so players easily handle the countless skills and environmental conditions that occur during play.
