Thanks for the review, Nathan. Glad you liked it.

(plug)Grey Realms is a slightly cynical and humorous twist on a "standard" fantasy setting. Beastwalkers came from musings on the World of Darkness lines. Both are 2-3 page starting points for games.(unplug)

Few points from your review:

* Dice succeed on 4, 5 or 6 (not 3, 4 or 6 - gremlin attack!).

* Resistance scores shouldn't really have +'s as those are the actual numbers of dice you'd roll.

* The website address is www.silverbranch.co.uk. Both currently go to the same place, but I'd rather this one were in circulation in case that ever changes.


My aim with Nugget was to get something suitable as a trainer game as well as a quick pick-up. So it has features which are very common in RPG's, like attributes, skills and initiative, rather than other forms of simplified mechanics. One of my thoughts was, "If my nieces ever ask me to run an RPG for them, what would I use?" I'm not sure it's a complete success - does one need a certain amount of RPG knowledge to be able to understand it? - but it has some utility and enables me to throw out interesting game/setting ideas that I can't be bothered to work up at length.
