In December 2015 we brought you the Ubiquity Bundle, an all-new collection of tabletop roleplaying games that use the Ubiquity rules system. From the two-fisted explorers of Hollow Earth Expedition to the post-apocalyptic elves and dwarves of Desolation to the steampunk scientists of Leagues of Adventure, the easy and fast-playing Ubiquity rules conjure captivating, larger-than-life characters in headlong cinematic action.
In terms of complexity and ease-of-use, Ubiquity is less freeform than Fate Core, but not as crunchy as Savage Worlds. Ubiquity has its own dice (similar to Fate‘s special Fate Dice), but you can use any dice at all — d4s, d6s, d20s, whatever. Your attributes and skills determine the size of your dice pool (how many dice to roll), and a success is a 50-50 chance on each die. A success can be an even result, or odd, or 1-3 on a d6, or any other method that provides an even chance. This mix of structure, flexibility, and player control has inspired the interesting RPGs on display in this offer.
