Title: SLSS Nexus Author: Lucyne Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/aKiwQy1c First Edit: Thursday 13th of February 2014 10:13:27 AM CDT Last Edit: Thursday 13th of February 2014 10:13:27 AM CDT --- The (Slightly) Less Simple System (SLSS) --- --- Release Candidate 1, for REALLY REAL this time. ---       Welcome to the SLSS! Whole new worlds of nerdiness await you in these tomes of wanna-be Dungeons and Dragons goodness! And of course as usual, I, your loyal rule buttslave, will accompany you along the way! Aren't you excited?! Come on buddy, I need the money I'm as unhappy to be here as you just...ok, back to business, YFGM is looking sternly at me. So what is the SLSS? Well the SLSS is the system that was supposed to replace the SSS....8 months ago. But let us not dwell on the past but dwell on this here PnP system. Unlike the SSS and SSSS, the SLSS IS a bit more complicated and will put a tiny bit more weight on GM and Player shoulders, but it still is easy enough to be played by complete PnP newcomers without a problem I promise. In return, we get a far richer system that allows us to play more unique characters and encounter many many varied situations all backed up by solid rules. The people who will be burdened the most by using the SLSS will be the GMs, because they are the ones you turn to whenever something is unclear. So I urge any prospective SLSS GM to carefully study the basic rules in full before attempting an actual, canon PnP. But don't worry, it really isn't so bad, this is no 600 page FATAL monstrosity. SLSS also introduces something strongly avoided in the SSS: Character Customization. You will be able to design your character very uniquely not unlike in the SSSS, but you have FAR more options. So many in fact it seems a bit ridiculous looking back...Hell the more the better! The system is not complete, but it works, and the balance SHOULD be MUCH better than in the SSSS, but of course stuff might creep in. So as always, I appreciate any play testing, feedback and comments!
