Description:

POCKET UNIVERSE is a complete compact role-playing game system that won't strain your brain, your muscles, or your wallet.

Remember when RPGs were all about the game and the characters? When facing down a viscious basilisk meant worrying about being turned to stone more than whether or not you were entering or leaving a "zone of whatever"? Remember when the rules were actually helpful not just confusing? Remember when role-playing games were, well, just plain fun?

Unigames remembers those days too and we bring them back with the Pocket Universe role-playing system!

Jeff Dee, creator of such role-playing classics as Villains and Vigilantes, T.W.E.R.P.S. and WarChest, is pleased to present his new quick to learn and easy to use role-playing system. Based on a consistent and realistic 2d10 system, Pocket Universe is easily adaptible to any genre, period or setting from dungeon crawl fantasy to demon slaying horror to alien invasion science fiction.

Pocket Universe offers hours of character driven, monster bashing fun and games and includes:

• Complete rules for detailed character creation and customization.
• An extensive list of skills, advantages and disadvantages to quickly and easily build interesting and unique characters for any genre or setting.
• A realistic but simple combat system designed to allow play to move at an exciting, swift pace.
• Combat critical tables which add that extra bit of danger and tension to every swing.
• A customizable creature system designed to allow imaginative GMs the ability to create their own unique monsters and creatures.
• A Pocket Universe character record sheet in PDF format.
• NEW art by ex-TSR and Villains and Vigilantes artist, Jeff Dee

Decent. Fairly basic, but has enough little 'bits' that it should be easy to customize.

An interesting try at a quick and simple system, but could definitely use a cleaner and more interesting presentation.

A great, simple RPG with plenty of room for expansion and modification. If you're trying to simplify your gaming with an easy-to-use system, give this one a try. My only complaint? No magic system, although a rudimentary one can be found at their websit [...]

Pocket Universe is, well, PU. Bad organization and editing are just the tip of the iceberg on this clunker. Good concept - bad execution. If genre generic gaming systems are your thing then you're better off with Savage Worlds. The PU supplements, however [...]

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.
