RPG 2.0 GM's Corner

It is the late seventeen hundreds. King George II is on the throne, and Britain is thriving. The empire is expanding, even with a number of colonies in the New World and Australia! Britain's greatest enemies are France, Spain, and the Netherlands, with but one ally: Portugal. France is undergoing a revolution, but the French king Louis XVI seems to be controlling it, to British dismay. Britain is very much controlled by the rich; the poor have very little say indeed, and, with a few exceptions, work on farms and in factories. Many ships are coming in every day, bringing coffee, tea, sugar, metals, and tobacco. Britain has a reputation as a civilized country, with magnificent education, architecture, and military prowess. Many of the noble families, however, are down on their luck and are forced to sell their estates.

Rules: House OPIGS Rules. No Psionics, limitied Technology, and only shopkeepers have magic, and even then it is limited to single-use potions. After doing something illegal were there are people to see you, roll for luck. If you fail the luck roll, roll a D4. That is how many policemen arrive and attack you.

Also, when commiting a crime in a populated area, you must roll for luck. IF you fail the luck roll, 1D4 policemen attack you.

When bribing, you must make a Brain roll, with a bomus of the size of the bribe/100 (rounded down)

When attacking, the defender's Beef counter-acts with the attacker's Beef. This only applies when damage is caused by successful attacks.
