Re: One roleplaying system to rule them all
the entire weapon section is ripped word for word from dark heresy. what else have they plagerised?
Well, the races are largely named after D&D races, but more closely resemble 40k races. The deities are the D&D gods and the Chaos gods from 40k. The actual system with 1-5 in everything is whitewolf based. Heck, the publisher name is White Wizards Workshop, being a parody of Wizards of the Coast, White Wolf and Games Workshop, yet managing to have a WWW name.
There are also throwaways to the system Exalted, and the whole thing is set in "The Great Wheel" which is the name of an old D&D cosmology that I don't think they use anymore. (on account of recent D&D being as simple as possible, and that being distinctly not simple)
It is a blending of every major roleplaying system on the market, and yet for all its blatant stealing and blend of many conflicting game designs... actually can stand up as a functional roleplaying system.
