4.0 out of 5 stars Desert Island? No Problem!, July 26, 2004
This review is from: Tri-Stat: Core System Role-Playing Game (Paperback)
This book says that it is "The ideal companion if you're going to be stuck on a desert island and can only bring one role-playing game book with you." I agree. The rules are very easy to learn and use, and are extremely flexible. Several character's could have the same stat and it could do different things, such as different types of Force Fields or Special Attacks. You can make a vampire, Mecha pilot, or even Agent Smith from the Matrix (with a little work).
In Tri-Stat dX, there are different power levels, ranging from Sub-human to Godlike, and you use different dice types with each power level (hence dX).
The only real problem I have with it is that the difficulty modifiers can be a bit much at times, especially on using two weapons at once. Other than this, it's just a matter of getting used to rolling against yourself rather than your opponents. Overall, I like it a lot and am using it in the game I run. Thank you very much Guardians of Order, Inc.! Ciao.
