Fantasiasystem

Fantasiasystem is a role-playing game (RPG) system designed to facilitate the creation and management of fantasy role-playing games. It was developed by Steve Jackson and first published in 1980. The system is known for its simplicity and flexibility, making it accessible to both new and experienced players.

Fantasiasystem is a generic RPG system, meaning it does not have a specific setting or theme. Instead, it provides a framework for creating and playing in any fantasy setting, such as medieval, high fantasy, or even low fantasy. The system uses a simple dice mechanic, where players roll a six-sided die (d6) to determine the outcome of their actions. The result is then compared to a target number, which is determined by the difficulty of the task.

Fantasiasystem also includes rules for character creation, combat, and magic. Characters are created by rolling dice to determine their attributes, such as strength, dexterity, and intelligence. Combat is resolved through a series of dice rolls, with the outcome determined by the characters' attributes and the weapons they are using. Magic is cast by rolling dice and comparing the result to a target number, with the success of the spell determined by the caster's skill and the difficulty of the spell.

Fantasiasystem has been widely used and adapted by game masters and players alike. It has inspired countless other RPG systems and has been a staple of the fantasy RPG genre for over four decades. Despite its simplicity, Fantasiasystem remains a popular choice for those looking to create and play in their own fantasy worlds.
