Does this game have any kind of open game license?

Well, I've tried to follow what's available in the expanded Preview. I've got years of tabletop experience and that may be detrimental to my understanding because I can't see myself trying/buying this game without an experienced guide leading me by the hand. This "Standard Distribution" curve is gibberish to me in terms of using it in this game. The example of character creation with "Bob" quickly launches me to utter bafflement.

We have an insuperable Catch-22 here. I suspect my only chance to understand this system is to read the entire book, but I ain't gonna buy the book because there is a chance it is too convoluted an exercise in obtuse statistical analysis for me to understand.

Pity.

As a sidenote, I see a few comments and reviews unhappy with lack of artwork. Take some minor comfort that is not an issue with me, since 96% of game system artwork isn't worth blowing my nose on. A legible layout and design is all that is required.

Firstly, thank you for the comment on art. I would love to have more artwork. Unfortunately, artwork is expensive and was not in the budget at this time.

Here are a few comments on "Bob's" generation in the basic rules manual:

- The GM sets the QU (the overall measure of a character's capabilities) at 120. This number can then be used to set all of the attribute scores in the subsequent columns, like Body/Mind at the next level, Physical/Motion and Influence/Intelligence at the 3rd level, etc. If the player wants to focus on body over mind, the player can shift up to 10 points between the scores, i.e. Body 130 then Mind will be 110. This shift carries through to the subsequent levels. Note: You can shift up to 10 points between score pairs at any attribute level.

- To get skill points, the player chooses a profession and how many 4-year terms they would like to serve in the profession. To determine how many terms they actually served, roll 4d10 and look the result...See more

Aloha, I am a long time GM and I have ran this system with over 50 players on the big island for the last 10 months. From veteran players to people new to RPGs and all between this game has been enjoyed. I have to agree the alpha book does require reading and practicing to fully grasp it. But in this system you can play with only 1 stat (Quality) or any of the cascades so it makes it very easy to run, teach, and enjoy for all varieties of gamers. I wish the starter book had more art, but the system has many good ideas and is very flexible. If anyone of you that have tried to run the system and had a hard time and are willing to try it again let me know and I will set a game up and show you how I run it.

Being able to discuss the system with someone would help a lot if you wouldn't mind.

If you're like me, when you play an RPG ruleset, as the GM you invariably are altering the rules to make the play feel more realistic. As the player, you're also thinking about ways to work around the rules to do try a unique problem-solving approach. Everyverse is designed to solve both those problems. To be sure, with flexibility comes complexity but the premise is you adopt what works for you, ignore what doesn't, and the game system still holds together. There are some very unique game rule structures it explores and it definitely takes the generic roleplaying paradigm to the next level.

Whats the difference between a B&W and a Color book? If there's no art inside, then they're all B&W right?

I have never seen a game that features adjustments for your character's age, workout regime, and job history, but can't be bothered to tell you how many skill points a new character can start with. It also has the most convoluted way of resolving actions I've ever seen. They point out many times that you can simply ignore certain parts of the system, technically true of any game, but I didn't pay $30 for a thin hardcover book to ignore much of it's contents. We've all thought that we could make a good RPG system if we actually sat down and tried, and I salute these guys for actually doing it, but this is a swing and a miss. It's a system that focuses on all the wrong things.

A character can start with as many skill points as you would like. If your character is 18 years old, how much do they know versus a character who has been around the block and engaged in some work for a number of terms?

The system is built for flexibility and rules can be ignored, if you would like to, so you can focus on the scenario. We are only offering the option, not telling the GM to do so.

The basic way of resolving actions is to roll 4d10, look that value up in a table which gives you a score between 70-139. If that score is less than or equal to your applicable attribute or skill score, you succeed. If not, you fail the attempt.

I think maybe there might be a few games out there that don't account for adjustments for job history. But I'm drawing blanks. I know Deadlands, DnD, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Warhammer RPG, Firefly RPG, TWERPS, BattlestarRPG, StarTrek RPG, etc all have attribute adjustments for job history in some way. Moreover, the age pool and skill point options are variants -- I know that most RPG GM sourcebooks list variant options. But I think the book needs to have some more clarity about starting skill points as they do affect mechanics.

Correction -- a character starts with skill points earned thanks to the number of terms in a profession. Professional terms are 4 years, 3 skill points per year or 12 skill points per term.

Make sure to read the review first. This game book has no art, no design work inside, the cover can be misleading... I regret purchasing this product, it is not clear! within the game text how this game works. You should almost instantly be able to tell how the game works at a glance of the text. Bad design = bad product = wasted money (frustrated emoji goes here).

The game is built for flexibility. You can use all of the rules or streamline it for more focus on the scenario. Here is what Wen Spencer, noted science fiction and fantasy author said about it: "Eververse allows for a free range of game play where characters are limited only by the players’ imagination. Easy to learn. A blast to play. I’ve never felt so free to be as creative in a game before."

If I have to design my own game rules - I will do that, for myself. It may be "easy to learn, a blast to play" but nothing in the art or type arouses my curiosity to get that far. This is just my opinion, my former comment stands as-before. Thanks for the reply.

It looks interesting. Unfortunately, when I use an RPG PDF, I frequently copy and paste text into my notes and/or character sheets. A product with "copy/paste disabled" is crippled to the point where it is to much of a hassle for me to use. Please uncripple your product and I will likely buy it.

A 6-page full preview that has two pages effectively blank does not inspire confidence!

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
