It is a retroclone of a short set of rules provided in a few chapters from an out-of-print 2009 book on extreme roleplaying game mastery by Tracy Hickman and Curtis Hickman.

What sort of character creation options does this have?

Hello Marja,

Characters have four physical and four mental abilities with both a score and rank. The abilities are a combination of what a character can do and sometimes what they can resist. As an example, the Guile ability is for taking actions that influence others (like persuasion or intimidation) and resisting supernaturalism (one of the types of magic in the game).

The ability score is how potent the ability is and the ranking is how versatile it is. Ranking for example determines how many skills a player can extrapolate from the ability. An ability with the highest rank allows a character to extrapolate any skill they can think of that's related to the ability. The GM uses that to determine what characters can do and how well they can do it.

With the combination of ability score and ability rank, just about any type of fantasy archetype can be created - fighters, mages, druids, monks, paladins, and rangers to name a few. The Strange Exile campaign primer includes...See more

Thank you. Among other things, I was wondering if it is oriented towards random or non-random character creation, does it address unusual strengths and weaknesses, etc.?

The ability scores are determined randomly and then assigned among the abilities while ability ranks are a non-random set of values that can be slightly modified and then assigned to the abilities. The rest of the character creation process is non-random.

Unusual strengths and weaknesses are represented by how the scores and ranks are assigned and/or by working with the GM to assign specific Special Traits in a balanced way - for example giving a PC low-light vision in exchange for an allergy to iron.

The full-size preview doesn't appear to work (at least for me).

Where can we find additional information about the game? Is it a dice pool, roll under, tag-based, etc.

Thank you!

Thank you for letting me know, I'll send an email to the DTRPG team right now.

Sun & Steel uses two d10s. One d10 is for success/failure so you roll and add modifiers vs. target number. The other d10 is rolled at the same time and the numbers are read as runes instead. How the rune matches or opposes the attribute used for the roll can affect success/failure and/or provide positive/negative side effects to the action.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
