More detailed rules covering specific topics will become available as individual articles as and when they are ready. This will include such topics as computer hacking, wilderness survival, psi and similar topics. Some of these articles may be a couple of pages, others could be much longer. | ||

+ | These provide an introduction to the YAGS game system, and should be consistent across all settings and genres. They do not contain anything about character generation or combat, but instead contain the basic framework which is common to the rest of YAGS.
