Action! System core rules

This wonderful rpg system has its roots in Cyberpunk 2020 rpg system and its ancestors.
Anyway, I found many updates to this, so you have a more flexible system, more solid and extensible.

For example, managing unhuman characters is easier than in 2020 system; you can insert characters advantages and disadvantages in a Hero System style; also the friday night fever system has its righteous successor, where hurt/stun/death status is well defined.

Last but not least:
this game is free. You can "buy" it freely on DriveThru RPG website.

Read a more extended review on RPG.net.

I'm addicted to Cyberpunk 2020 rpg system, but many years passed since I was playing on paper and pencil, so I think I'm ready to move on to a more solid and complete set of rules.

In the beginning, I was not keeping the weapon table, because of the D6. I was addicted to D10, so I chose to use a D10 random system for everything. Thinking again, I'm not sure I can set up a complete solid weapon set ex-novo, plus the Action! RPG system uses only D6, so it has a very easy implementation.

In conclusion, the DumDum game system will be as much as possible similar to Action! system.
