From the back of the book:
"Roleplaying at its finest—simple or with elective complexities which place this game far beyond any other.
Straightforward mechanics, with emphasis on percentile dice and the
six-sided die, yet allowing a battery of optional modifiers to heighten
realism to any degree desired.
More than 50 starting vocational backgrounds for Heroic Persona
creation, plus as many personalized ones as the gamemaster wishes to
add.
A "Knowledge/Skill" system using percentile probabilities, with hundreds
of areas and sub-areas to learn, and specializations too. With Joss,
Socio-Economic Class considerations. Special Connections, Quirks,
background information, and more included, never have RPG personas had
the character and personality of the Heroic Personas herein or has
roleplaying been so detailed and enabled.
More armor and weapons included than would be found in the arsenal of a
medieval potentate! Use them with a short and easy combat resolution
method, or with expansions that take into account virtually every
salient feature of armed, magickal, and mental or spiritual battle, too.
Persona advancement based on logical and realistic standards, not relying on loot garnered and critters slain.
No totally fanciful monetary system with ridiculous standards and
confusing pricing. Income and costs are as easy as knowing what a BUC
is.
All this and still more... Need more details? Buy this book. In it,
you'll find everything you need to begin playing. Along with it, pick up
the Mythus Magick volume (Book II of these rules, with over 1000
magickal Castings, plus Powers, personalized Castings, and more!) and
the Epic of Ærth companion volume (which describes the world of Ærth in
detail). Find a comfortable place, and begin reading immediately. This
work is a quantum jump in roleplaying games, something which enthusiasts
have awaited for years!"
"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal
