I'm actually currently working on a system for building a better beastman through application of tags. I'm not sure what form this is going to end up taking, and right now it's just a random jumble of spreadsheets filled with nonsense, but it's coming close to shaping up.Adam Muszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046628343673308107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187128942585713021.post-83634436298496319502013-02-02T08:53:09.917-05:002013-02-02T08:53:09.917-05:00Pick up AE,R for the domain rules.

They use a system similar to his system in Stars Without Number but are tuned towards Fantasy. It's all about factions (who), their assets (what) and their tags (why) - brilliantly done.<br /><br />AER has a simple system, while RT's is more complex, but richer for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05896515629513305242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187128942585713021.post-36814050521567287792013-01-31T15:44:36.986-05:002013-01-31T15:44:36.986-05:00May I recommend Fictive Hack as a game to try out?...May I recommend Fictive Hack as a game to try out? The .pdf is free (but it's big) and if you want a condensed "quick start" you could use the Matt's Rule edition.
