I've made it pretty clear over the years that I'm not a big fan of the combination of a level-based character advancement when it's married to a restrictive, class-based system for governing character abilities. But it's hard to deny that the most popular RPG games do just that.
But that doesn't mean those games can't be made better by breaking down some of the level/class barriers. And that's where this latest release from NUELOW Games comes in.
MODERN BASICS--Feats of Mysticism & Magic: A Flexible Magic System for OGL Games is a brief supplement that is compatible with most d20-based OGL systems. It divorces the spellcasting system classes, opening up more flexibility in character creation and advancement. It is designed with more mordern and futuristic settings in mind where the stereotypical wizard and cleric are the exceptions rather than the norm.

Celebrate Bill's Clinton's 66th birthday with ROLF!
Bill Clinton turns 66 today Why don't you spend it playing ROLF!... it's probably what he would do if we had a version that came with strippers -- and if he had ever heard of NUELOW Games and The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters.
To make it easy to get the party started, we've created a bundle of products featuring not only Bill Clinton but also other US Presidents, such as JFK, Barack Obama, and Abraham Lincoln. The products also feature enemies and allies worthy of these great men, such as Huda the Bikini-clad Wonder, Commies from Jupiter, al-Qaeda terrorists, Girl Scouts, Martians, and many, many more.
Get your Birthday Box by clicking here. It's only $2! But don't delay if you;'re interested. This bundle is only available today and tomorrow. (The individual products will all remain on sale separately, of course.)

Julian Assange ala ROLF!
L.L. Hundal made the following comment when I suggested we add Julian Assange to the soon-to-be-released ROLF!: Bill Clinton Meets a Girl Scout:
"If there ever was someone who is a suitable subject for violet fantasies, it's that cowardly prig."
(And yes... she uses "prig" and not "prick." She's so refined... and so very British. You'd think two decades in the U.S, would have cured her of that.)
Julian Assange ala ROLF!

JULIAN ASSANGE (Male, but not a man)
Brawn 21; Body 14; Brains 5.

Presenting... ROLF!: When Bat Meets Cat!
In Guardian City's War on Crime, no one fights harder than the mask-wearing superheroes. These are their stories.
*Dumn-Dumng!!*
A superhero with "Bat" in his name. A mystery woman with "Cat" in her name. Controversial comments involving chicken sandwiches. Protests! Counter-protests!
Could we possibly squeeze any more exploitation material into one 6 page product? Well, maybe. It all depends on how you want to interpret the fact we named the villain Chickenhawk.
ROLF!: Bat Meets Cat is the latest supplement for L.L. Hundal & Steve Miller's humorous ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters. This superhero-orientated product features five pre-generated characters, several new combat maneuvers and traits, and a fearsome new Spelling.
Click here to look at previews, or to get your own copy for just $0.60.
