Aye, its finaly done :3 The Core Book contains Rules, Armor and Weapon Tables, all seven Magic Schools, Attributes and Skill description and ofcourse, character creaton. Its currently 54 Pages long, since i decided to leave the Races, States and Classes description for later - main thing for now is Rule test, which will start this or next week. Im currently quite satisfied with the rules, they look quite playable and I tried to close every loophole i came across and do sum balancing, but the real correction will only be possible during the game tests. With the current speed, I hope that we can go Beta in next 2-4 Months and start rewriting the textes and translate em to english (managed to find 2 translators ;)). Also, another friend offered to do crash test with Fighting rules, which is quite helpfull since i want to do a full story with mine, to test other aspects of game. Without further ado, wish me luck :D I gonna need a bunch ^^
FA+

And I hope at least Beta is going to be open for public testing ^^
While I am not sure of the state of the classic RPG industry in Europe, I can safely say that the trend here in the US is towards fairly simplified rules with extremely clear-cut definitions of what can be done where, as opposed to about 6 - 10 years ago where the trend was towards increasing complexity of rules. I'm wondering where your game stands on this, and whether other places in the world outside the US/Canada area are following the same trend.
Overall, thank you very much, as it's rare to see anyone working towards a new RPG these days. I wish you and your team luck and fortune on this!

I am still very much interested in reading through this system, once it is translated into English.
Thanks!
