Serenity
A space opera RPG¸ adapted from the Firefly TV series and Serenity feature film by Joss Whedon. It uses a system adapted from theSovereign Stonefantasy game. Attributes and skills are rated in a a step die system with twelve ranks: d2¸ d4¸ d6¸ d8¸ d10¸ d12¸ d12+d2¸ d12+d4¸ d12+d6¸ d12+d8¸ d12+d10¸ d12+d12. Action resolution is by rolling attribute die plus skill die. Characters have six attributes (Agility¸ Strength¸ Vitality¸ Alertness¸ Intelligence¸ Willpower)¸ along with skills and advantages. It also includes a plot point mechanic. Plot Points can be spent before a roll for an extra die (costing 1 per rank)¸ after the roll to raise the total (costing 1 per +1)¸ or to manipulate the story (scaled from 1-3 for convenient coincidence to 11+ for ""saving your bacon""). - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
