The Red Ash World Engine ( or simply Red Ash ) is a ruleset I have been working on for sometime. The basic idea was to develop a system to design custom species from a common set of rules for inclusion in a game world of your design.

This is a free to use system but remember it is still in beta and has a long ways to go. I do believe that there is enough of the system together that an experienced DM can pick it up and have fun with his friends.

Red Ash has a dual nature to it as it is designed to have a strategy and RPG elements to it. If you are only interested in the RPG side...good news! That is the part I am mainly working on!

Ultimately I will be working on two browser-based games one strategy and one rpg. Each game will have overlap between the other side.

I would welcome any input you fine people have...just put down those sticks first :razz:

I can never get my wordpress login to work for comments. I tried commenting but I always get "you do not own this WP Login" It's not just your site. So I'll post here.

I like the different attack techniques but they'd take a lot to learn what they all were. The fans of this will be people who like crunchy combat.

Oh and the char sheets say pete and steve are girls.

Girls?


Thanks for looking it over Onix. I was going for a more fine grained control to the combat, while still trying to make it "some what" simple. Knowing the actions one can perform with a specific weapon in hand is what will govern the attacks one can perform, well that and skill.

OK, that means that of the 2 sexes females are physical weaker and smaller than men. Not that all humans are female.

Species without this power have no different in physical size or strength between males and females.

This "Power" is a weakness and is used on a number of species and in return the species builder gains more starting population to buy other powers, better base abilities, or they get to start with a large base population.

The population is really a concern for the king of the population and the strategy side of the game, which is only losely defined right now. I will later go into the strategy side of the game at a later date. Much later at the pace I am moving.
