Ysgarth
Ysgarth ist gleichzzeitig der Name des Rollenspielsystems und der Welt auf der die Abenteuer erlebt werden. Wie wohl fast jedes Rollenspielsystem nimmt Ysgarth für sich in Anspruch ein ausgeglichenes System mit ausschließlich sinnvollen minimalistischen Regeln zu sein. Ysgarth wurde erstmals 1979 veröffentlicht und von einer kleinen Fangemeinde bis zur 6. Version geleitet. Die 7. Version war für Frühjahr 1998 geplant und soll laut Autoren eine noch bessere Fusion zwischen Welt und System darstellen.
A fantasy-genre RPG¸ which has changed significantly over 7 editions. In general¸ it uses a percentile skill system¸ with limited point-bought character creation. It has an action-point-based combat system. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim
The author: Ysgarth is a roleplaying game designed to combine playability and flexibility with an emphasis on the character. We believe that mechanics should facilitate imaginative roleplaying without intruding unecessarily on the creative process and that roleplaying is most enjoyable in a rich and fully realised setting. As a game system and a world Ysgarth strives to embody these principles. Ysgarth was first published in 1979 and has had a small but loyal following through 6 editions and many changes and developments. We are now working on the 7th edition for release in early 1998¸ which will preserve the traditions of Ysgarth in a format which is convnient and highly accessible for players and gamemasters alike.
