Legends Of Anglerre
''Legends of Anglerre'' is a role-playing game published by Cubicle 7 in 2010. Description ''Legends of Anglerre'' is a ''Fate'' system game. Legends was a sequel to the 2008 Starblazer Adventures RPG, and like the earlier game drew on material from the Starblazer comic series. Where the first game focussed on the science fiction elements that appeared in the series, Legends drew on the various Fantasy Issues - especially the titular Anglerre series (Starblazer issues 200, 224, 231, 250 and 271) originally written by Mike Chinn - to present generic Fantasy rules for Fate, along with two detailed settings: Anglerre, and The Hither Kingdoms. Legends of Anglerre was written by Sarah Newton and Chris Birch, with Mike Chinn, David Donachie, Doug Laedtke, Tom Miskey, Mike Olson, and Marc Reyes.

Fate (role-playing Game System)
''Fate'' is a generic role-playing game system based on the ''Fudge'' gaming system. It has no fixed setting, traits, or genre and is customizable. It is designed to offer minimal obstruction to role-playing by assuming players want to make fewer dice rolls. Description Fate is derived from the ''Fudge'' system, primarily that earlier design's verbal scale and Fudge dice, but most versions of Fate eschew the use of mandatory traits such as Strength and Intelligence. Instead, it uses a long list of skills and assumes that every character is "mediocre" in all skills except those that the character is explicitly defined as being good at. Skills may perform one or more of the four actions: attacking, defending, overcoming obstacles (a catch-all for solving problems) or creating an advantage (see below). Exceptional abilities are defined through the use of ''Stunts'' and ''Aspects''. An aspect is a free form descriptor of something notable about either the character or the scene. ...
