+What makes it different than other RPGs?
+  * The GM rolls all dice during play.
+  * All PCs are fighters (with some ability to cast magic)
+  * Spells are typically cast by reading a spell scroll
+  * There's no gold and no gold economy
+  * When a PC's Hit Points are reduced to 0 or less, the PC is not killed or knocked out; he or she is sidelined. A sidelined PC is still conscious and can grant bonuses to other PCs, but cannot attack for the rest of the fight.
+The party levels up as a group, not PCs individually.
