A fantasy RPG set in the world of the novels by Jack Vance -- an ancient world populated by a desperately extravagant people¸ rich with magic. It uses a simple system where a single d6 roll determines the results (1=worst to 6=best)¸ where higher ability gives you a number of rerolls (your ""ability pool"") which refreshes every 2 to 8 hours. Character creation is open point-based¸ where you can gain bonus points by accepting random choices. It has an in-depth magic system based closely on the series. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
