per the Talislanta website "Talislanta is not your average role playing game. Unlike most fantasy games, Talislanta isn't based on traditional European mythology or some archetypal medieval setting. Instead, Talislanta is a strange and exotic place populated by unusual cultures, creatures, and characters such as Wizard Hunters, Dream Merchants, Thaumaturges, Rogue Magicians, and Mystic Warriors, to name just a few. If you're looking for elves here, you're out of luck. However, if you're looking for a unique and colorful role playing experience, you've come to the right place." This System also ranks atop my favorite games list. Talislanta has a fantasy setting with swords armor and magic, yet is unique in all of its approaches to fantasy. Of all it's features, the magic system is by far the best I've seen in ant fantasy RPG to date. The system is based on knowledge of a type of effect, then the player creates the spell as needed. (example your character is skilled at the Defend mode. With this one mode your player can create barrier walls, domes of force, magical armor, shelter for companions, Ect...) And to top it all of the system is extremely easy on mechanics. There is only one dice type, and the action table always remains the same. a sample action would include taking your skill number, plus your attribute number pus your dice roll, minus the GM's difficulty rating. 11 or better is a full success, it's that simple. Most all actions resolve this way, If you don't believe me try it for yourself.
