that's correct

May be it looks like... but tens of playtesterers got it immediately, even players that never played a RPG before! just take in your hand three d10 and try it!

OK, let me playtest it! It's a good idea!

Hi Rosen, some advantages of the system in my opinion are: 1) only one goal number to memorize for players. 2) the actual probability of success changes, but there is always a possibility to get a failure or a success, i.e. no "automatic" success is possible due to advantages and disadvantages. the actual probability-of-success curve is very interesting. 3) only single-digit operations needed (subtracting "1 from 4", or "5 from 8" is much fast than subtracting 7 from 63 or 15 from 74) 4) Percentage still grants granularity to the character growth. 5) the system is very easy to understand and the game flows very smoothly once you had your first or second Asset Die roll You can easily use the unit die as Asset Die, it is just a suggestion. Your eyes will associate faster the results on the table (tens with tens and the unit apart). Hope this is technical enough, I'm not a professional designer.... thank you!

Hi Rosen and Atgxtg! Thank you for your questions! Have a look to the character sheet (its a draft, we're working on it, but it's 95% the final one): http://www.shintiara.com/single-post/2017/01/02/Modern-D100-Character-Sheet the D100 core mechanic involve a single percentage for each character: the Inner Strength. Anything else in the game just give Advantages or Disadvantages to the same roll-as-or-under goal, modifying the real probability of success. This helps both the players to understand instantly if they had success or not and the Judge (GM) to create a narration-driven game-flow. In fact, in Modern D100 players are free to narrate their actions ("I approach the enemy against the light, in order to cover my movements and attack") and then apply their standard Advantages or Disadvantages (as an example "+2 on Combat", based on mental and phisical aptitudes + specializations. On top of standard modifier, the Judge could define other Advantages or Disadvantages, evaluating the specific situation as narrated (i.e. "approaching against the light" could give nothing, +1 or more depending on Judge decision). So Players do share some narrative authority with the Judge, describing actions before and after rolling the dice. How Advantages/Disadvantages apply? Players roll another d10 die (the Asset Die), together with the percentile d10s (one from 10 to 00 - tens - and one from 1 to 0 -units). Then they can Add or Subtract as much tens as the result of the Asset Die, up to the Advantages/disadvantages they have. As an example if I have Inner Strength 50% and 3 Advantages (+3) GOAL: 50 % D100 (precentile roll) = 60 (tens) 4 (units) = 64 this should mean a fail. D10 (asset die) = 40 Now, you can confirm only 3 advantages, so you can subtract a maximum of 30 point to tens, higher results are unuseful. Result = 64 - 30 = 14 SUCCESS! I reported the results of the Asset Die expressed in tens ("40" and not "4") because we suggest to use the tens die (form 10 to 00) in order to make faster calculations. The maximum number of advantages or disadvantages is 9. the 00 result in the asset die means zero modifier. an action with +10 advantages is automatic (and the contrary). Go and take the 3 dice and try to roll all of them a couple of times: it's quite easy. I hope this could help!

Hi everybody! We have play-tested Shintiara with tens of experts and players and all of them had a lot of fun playing in our unique setting. But the truth is that it would be impossible to have fun without a flexible and narrative-oriented ruleset. Something that can really help GMs to manage adventures in a world where magic blends with technology. It is very important for us to give you as much information as we can about it, so click on the link below and download a sample of the Modern D100, Shintiara's Core System, starting with the complete Character Sheet of Kyun, the Chronoguardian.
