TBS is that simple.
The Basic System is really
basic. We have taken stats
that have worked for us
over the decades of
gaming and applied them
into one super simple
system. SSS. TBS takes
maybe 10 to 15 minutes to
create characters. It offers
the detail you might want
without all the page surfing
looking for the rules. This is
a system for the gamer that
is sick of the uber
complicated world of
"Industry" trivia.

PRODUCT: The Basic System
AUTHOR: J. Parker; Jay Libby
COMPANY: dilly green bean games
STYLE: 4
SUBSTANCE: 5
(1 being horrid, 5 being Excellent)
SUMMARY:
----------------------------------------------
Easy to convert rules lite system ... a fun read
----------------------------------------------
REVIEW:
----------------------------------------------
The Basic System is Dilly Green Bean Games'
new free pdf download (available as a demo file
for GU Kamakazi edition through rpgnow.com).
The Basic System is intended as a "bridge
system," allowing easy conversion to d20 and
other popular systems. This seventeen page pdf.
covers attributes ( set similar to d20, Action! or
Fuzion), skills, special abilities and other
elements of character creation. The pdf. also
includes an impressive list of weapons and
armor and even explains giant robot creation.
Combat, experience and other essential rpg
elements are explained of course. The most
exciting aspect of the Basic System for me is
indeed how "basic" it is. I am an old timer who
remembers when role-playing was about playing
the game and not over tweeking characters. My
favorite system of all time is the old Marvel Super
Heroes (MSH) game by TSR. Unlike a lot of other
rules-lite systems in production today, the Basic
System can easily be converted to MSH. The
Basic system doesn't lump all physical
characteristics into one attribute like some
otherwise excellent systems do. The Basic
System is also written with a refreshing sense of
humor. If a bare-bones system book is to hold my
interest, it needs to be fun like this one.
