Five by Five (1st Ed.)
A universal roleplaying game system for a range of settings, using a d6 as a d5 by reading a 6 as 0. Characters are defined by chosen traits and resolve tasks by rolling two d5s and multiplying the results; skill ranks improve the chance of success in roughly 10% increments. Combat rules cover archaic and modern weapons and armor, with open-ended damage for spectacular critical hits. The system also includes rules for distinctive abilities such as magic and super powers.
