The Cog Wars
A tongue-in-cheek steampunk fantasy game set in the city of Tiran¸ a center of science and education in a fantasy world - where mechanical men known as ""Cogs"" have just begun to appear and even sometimes become self-aware. The player characters are rebels fighting evil geniuses known as Masterminds who are corrupting the city. It uses a highest die d6 dice pool system¸ where the player rolls a number of dice based on trait (1-3) plus a possible bonus for one character condition and one target/environment condition. This is opposed by another die roll¸ taking the highest die and moving to the next highest in the case of ties. The higher roll narrates the result of the action. Character creation includes picking one of three Kinds (Kid¸ Geezer¸ or Cog); one of three Virtues (Cunning¸ Daring¸ or Graceful); and one of five Vocations (Mystic¸ Tinker¸ Tailor¸ Soldier¸ or Scout). Each of these is then tailored by adding a player-defined trait. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim"
