Starting a more in depth review series.

I wanted to take the information that I took for the last two months search for a fantasy or universal RPG and bring all of the information together per game. At least I will do it for the 8 games that I test played. It may lead to further test playing of games not played as well.

Here is an overview look at what I did for that search which I've never shown before.

So I will go back and compile each of the game's information, beginning with JAGS, then Hackmaster, Dungeon World, etc.

ABS12: Overview, Preview - a summary of the game

All the changes from this page will be added to the complete master game page at A Basic System 12 (ABS12).

I'm adding this to the front of the game before the character sheet to provide a big picture of the current structure.

• This is a single twelve sided die/dice game.  It may use up to two at a time.
• This is a roll-over system.
• It has a solo game engine and fact generator built in to the game for solo play.
• Descriptions describe the inhabitants of the game, both the player's avatar and the fictional characters within the game.
• There is one single main attribute that describes how powerful a character is - based on experience; it is called power level.
• The description level is a secondary statistic which represents the general ability of the character at this description level which is based on the primary stat - the power level.
• All species and characters share the same benefit of experience and general ability as they progress.
• Two species or characters of the same power level will have identical bases.
• Individuals differ by their descriptions.
• Two parts of descriptions are verbs and adverbs/adjectives. 
• Verbs describe actions including physical and magical. 
• Adverbs describe actions, adjectives, and other adverbs. 
• Adjectives describe nouns. 
• Adverbs and adjectives are considered similar or near identical - they represent a value.
• Life represents one's life force.
• Speed represents one's travel and reaction speed.
• Defense represents one's natural or worn armor.
