A minimalist generic system from TSR. It uses a simple percentile system where the players generate a ""core concept"" with 4 attributes (Physique/ Intellect/ Spirit/ Influence)¸ which is fleshed out when it was adapted to a given setting. Two sub-attributes are then specified for each attribute¸ and skills are bought. Actions are resolved by rolling percentile dice under skill. Degree of success is shown by the ""ones"" digit of the roll: the lower¸ the better. This is a game system unlike any you've played before.
The 19-page system was included with many universebooks¸ including: ""For Faerie Queen and Country"" (Victorian Earth + faerie)¸ ""Bughunters""¸ ""The Galactos Barrier"" (Space Opera)¸ ""Kromosome"" (cyberpunk + genetics)¸ ""Magitech""¸ ""The Once and Future King"" (Arthurian science fantasy)¸ ""Tabloid!"" (Earth where tabloids are true)¸ and ""Metamorphosis Alpha to Omega"" (a remake of theclassic game: science fantasy on a generation starship). - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.

In this booklet are the rules you need to create a character core. With that character core¸ you can create any number of player characters for any number of game universes within the Amazing Engine game system. You can create wizards¸ mercenaries¸ alien technologists¸ xenoform thieves - any kind of character¸ from nearly any kind of fantasy or science fiction setting¸ is possible with these rules and the appropriate Universe Book.
This System Guide also explains the rudiments of combat (how does my character hit things?) and skills (what does my character know?). Plentiful examples take you step by step through the character generation process¸ and illustrate the concepts behind this system's skill uses.
These rules are designed to be used in conjunction with the Universe Books. You must have both this booklet and a Universe Book in order to play within the Amazing Engine game system.
