I'm not sure if this has been done before, probably not due to the possibility of "Edition Wars", so I'm going to instill rules while we do this.
The Reason
The reason I would like to do this is to bring up facts about various game systems for newer players, or players that are looking for a new system to try out. I would like to create a database thread where players can go to find out what system of gameplay is right for them.
The Rules
Input information about the game systems that you have abundant information on (primarily the core gamesystems you play personally).
Use the layout provided.
Do not mention any other game systems/editions in your summery. Players should get the idea without any knowledge of any game systems/editions at all.
Remember that game systems/editions are flavors, your system/edition is not for everybody.
Do not "call out" cons to game systems/editions that you believe the reviewer may have overlooked. Any and all "but you forgot this pro/con" should be PM'd to myself, where I will gracefully contact a player of that game system to either confirm or deny the accusation.
Be 100% truthful about your game system/edition. You know its flaws and its strengths, and you want to give players as much truthful and in-depth information as possible for them to make an educated decision on what to look at playing. Games are flawed, but that doesn't mean that they can't be fun.
All information supplied MUST be non-biased. Only factual information is to be supplied.
If you are the creator of a game system for Fantasy Grounds, feel free to complete this, or have one of your frequent players complete it.
