Basics

From FuturePath

This page is a starting place for all the rules of the game. If you are new to Pen and Paper and roleplaying styles of games, you may wish to review the New to P&P page.

Are you an experienced player? The Whats Different page is a good place to learn about what makes this system D20+ so different from normal D20, as well as other things that stand out about this ruleset/game.

If you are a Player (Meaning you do not intend to run the game or be the storyteller), then it is recommended that you either make a new Character or pick a Starter Character. We provide a Character Sheet here!

After making a Character, you may want to review concepts like Combat and Skills.

If you intend to run a game as the Game Master or GM (that means that you are the storyteller and manage the game for the players), then it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with all the pages under the 'Rules' category. A GM should also be familiar with all the different Skills and how they are used. The GMs Tools page is full of helpful resources and guides. You may then want to look at the pages under the 'Campaign Setting' section to learn about the lore and cosmology of the FuturePath Universe.

As you read on, you may find sections that are in boxes like the one below. These are usually used to explain something outside of the rules. For example, we would record something on a physical Character Sheet. Or perhaps a snippet of 'flavor text.'

Anything in this box-like format will be instructions for editing the Character sheet. 

Below is a full Table of Contents:
