SHARP Simple Handy Adaptable Role-Playing

ADD TO WISHLIST >

SHARP (Simple Handy Adaptable Role-Playing) is a generic role-playing system that can be adapted to any setting. It doesn’t include any pre-defined lists of classes, attributes or skills. Players create the characters by defining positive and negative traits using their own wording. A trait can be an innate attribute, learned skill, social achievement, iconic, important equipment or prop.

A framework is included for the GM to create magical traditions. If a character has a magical trait, its casting attributes and limitations can be defined based on this framework. In high magic settings SHARP enables the players to use magic in creative ways without the limitations of pre-defined spells.

SHARP is ideal for players who never played role-playing games before due to its simple rules and fast character creation. However, an experienced GM is required.

  • Easy to teach to new players.
  • Easy to adapt to any setting without preparations.
  • Detailed framework for defining magical traditions and methods.
  • Creative use of magic in high magic settings.
  • Heroic style play with low chance of failure in tests.
  • Expert GM is required with enough experience to improvise and make decisions related to the rules on the fly.
  • The improvement of characters is not in focus, it strongly depends on the GM.
  • Not suitable for players who like optimizing their characters, finding the best combination of attributes, skills and feats to become a unique master of a field.

SHARP does not include description to any setting.

I'm interested, but the preview isn't helpful. You should include some pages from character creation, combat, or magic sections.

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.
