 ====== Steel and Flame ======
-//Steel and Flame// will be a tabletop RPG that combines //Barbarians of Lemuria// with elements of //Fate//.
+Many fantasy RPGs mimic D&D or Tolkienesque fantasy worlds. This one is based on classic sword-and-sorcery games of high adventure. The characters are more likely to be swashbuckling barbarians or muscled thieves than paladins or dwarves.
-Your character will be made up of 8 stats (4 combat-oriented and 4 non-combat-oriented), Health Points, and points in a wide variety of careers. To resolve an action, roll Fate dice, and add points from the appropriate stats and/or careers.
+//Steel and Flame// is a tabletop RPG that combines the stats of the classic //Barbarians of Lemuria// system with elements of //Fate//.
+Your character is made up of 8 stats (4 combat-oriented and 4 non-combat-oriented), Health Points, and points in a wide variety of careers. To resolve an action, roll Fate dice, and add points from the appropriate stats and/or careers.
+One particularly nice thing about this system is that it let you see how well you succeed at an action, instead of just indicating success or failure. You can make a Fantastic leap from a burning airship or a Terrible swing at a snarling harem guard.

+**GM:** Okay, you're outside the Palace of Pain on the night of the sacrifice. The Palace is a big stone building, about two stories tall, with crenelations on top. There's a big entrance in front, with two burly guards. What do you want to do?
+**Tim:** Hmmm. Throngar wants to go around back and climb the walls.
+**GM:** Okay, the walls are a little old, so there are some footholds. Not too hard. Do you have any careers that would give you some skill in climbing walls?
+**Tim:** Yeah, I have 2 points in Barbarian. Throngar probably climbed the cliffs of Thovaria all the time as a kid.
+**GM:** Makes sense to me! Add that to your Dexterity score. That's one of your personal attributes.
+**Tim:** Oooh, I have 2 points in Dexterity. So I add those together, which is 4?
+**GM:** Exactly. Now just roll the dice and add 4 points.
+**Tim:** Wow, I rolled +2! So that's a total of 6.
+**GM:** Which is a "Fantastic" on the ladder. You scurry up the walls like a spider and even get over the crenelations in seconds. However, there's a guard on the roof! You were so quick to climb that he sees you, but he's surprised. You get to act. What do you want to do?
+**Tim:** Throngar wants to attack the guy with his sword.
+**GM:** Roll the dice, then add your Strength, and your Melee.
+**Tim:** My Strength's 2 and Melee is 1, so that's a total of 3. How do I know if I succeed?
+**GM:** I'll compare that to the guard's Defense score.
+**Tim:** Okay, rolling the dice...ick, that's -1. With the Strength and Melee, that's a total of 2.
+**GM:** No problem! The guard only has a Defense of 1, so you hit. Your sword does 1d6 damage.
+**Tim:** I swing my trusty sword at the guard's stomach. And I roll...a 4!
-Tim: Okay, so Throngar wants to hit the guy with his sword. What do I do?
+**GM:** Cool, subtracting that from the guard's Hit Points...he's still up, but barely. He's going to take a swing at you...And he manages a 1. What's your Defense?
-GM: Easy. You'll roll the dice, then add your Strength, and your Melee.
+**Tim:** My Defense is 1.
-Tim: My Strength's 2 and Melee is 2, so I'll add a total of 3?
+**GM:** Ooooh, a tie wins! So he rolls..a 3. Subtract that from your Hit Points.
-GM: Right. And I'll compare that to the enemy's Defense score.
+**Tim:** I have 12 of those, so I'm only down to 9. Time to slash back! Rolling and adding 3...yeah, that's a 5! Lemme roll my die...that's a 3.
-Tim: Okay, rolling the dice...ick, that's -1. With the Strength and Melee, that's a total of 2.
+**GM:** The guard clutches his stomach and goes down in a fountain of blood!
-GM: No problem! The guard only has a Defense of 1, so you hit. Your sword does 1d6 damage.
+**Tim:** Great.
-Tim: I swing my trusty sword at the guard's stomach. And I roll...a 4!
+===== Support =====
-GM: Cool, subtracting that from the guard's Hit Points...and that's all of them! The guard clutches his stomach and goes down in a fountain of blood.
