Have you ever fancied yourself as a space-faring adventurer, exploring the vast regions of an alien-filled galaxy? Or what about a master sleuth in Victorian England? Perhaps you want to live out the exploits of a thief in a fantasy realm? With the USR system you can do all this and more. Using the simple rules in this booklet, you will soon be creating exciting stories with your friends while munching on high-carb snacks. 

USR is an easy game to learn but there are optional rules throughout if you fancy making it a bit more advanced. Feel free to add your own rules or change current ones to match your preferences. The most important thing is that you and your group have fun with it.

USR features:

  • Super fast character creation
  • Generic system covering a multitude of genres
  • Rules-lite gameplay that encourages roleplay
  • Role-play centric advancement
  • Quick, modular combat
  • Simple one-die task resolution
  • Dynamic rules for any weapon imaginable

I have just had a great Sunday afternoon playing USR with my lads. The rules were a great balance between roleplaying and chaos. 10 Lego figures and a couple of sheets of A4... Perfect! [...]

OK. What can I say other than it does what it says on the tin. However. As a seasoned roleplayer I find it too simple. The perfect system for me was the fantastic movie version of the uni system as used for army of darkness by Eden studios. Because I [...]

This is a very rules-lite generic roleplaying game and it does what it says: it's unbelievably simple. There are some optional rules to make it more "advanced" but in its heart it is still a very leightweight system. The rules are clea [...]

A short, sweet rules system, this product is good as is, and provides a framework to hang any type of additional sub-systems you might find necessary off of. While its simplicity and bare bones design might not be everybody's cup of tea, for someone [...]

It says "Rules-lite gameplay that encourages roleplay" and "Role-play centric advancement". I find these two to be untrue and downright misleading, because these two "features" are essentially non-features. It's like sayin [...]

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.
