Break the Paradigm=20
Let's face it, role-playing games are a great way to spend an afternoon = relaxing with friends, but most often the fun of the story gets bogged =

down by the inevitably slow combat and skill test game mechanics. The =
best games I've played have taken too long to generate characters and =
resolve combat.  Faight Industries developed the Paradox Role-playing =

System with these shortcomings in mind. Our goal was to develop a = roleplaying system which would allow for game play with nothing more = than a pair of 10 sided dice, a single chart, and the character sheets. = We acheived our goal. The game system is based on limited rules, ease = of use, and consistency.=20

The Paradox role-playing system is the Jeet Kune Do of role-playing. = Just like Martial Arts, role-playing is full of outdated and useless = ideas. Paradox tries to eliminate what bogs down role-playing and keep = what makes role-playing fun. =20

Players are welcomed to download the rules from = http://www.fastlane.net/~faight. The Paradox Basic Rulebook and the = Paradox Advanced Rulebook are distributed freely over the internet. = Registering the books costs a total of $10 and entitles you to: = Customer support, rules explanation and advice, and notification of = product updates or new releases.=20

Why Paradox=20
The Paradox roleplaying game system was developed for those players who = want to include realism in their games without losing roleplaying ease. = It features rules for multi-era campaign roleplaying, allowing any genre = from fantasy to horror to space opera to time travel.) Attached you will = find the main rules for the Paradox roleplaying system. The system was = developed as shareware. Download the rules, try it out, and, if you like = it follow the instructions on how to register your copy of PARADOX. = Check http://www.fastlane.net/~faight site often. Sourcebooks and = updated rules will be posted regularly.=20

The Basic Rulebook handles all the rules that Players need to be = familiar with in order to enjoy the game. As they become more familiar = with the system they may wish to explore the more expanded rules of the = Advanced Rulebook.=20

The Advanced Rulebook includes many of the formula and creation = utilities used to create the items in the Basic Rulebook. The Advanced = Rulebook handles all the rules that you may need from time to time. From = Optional Rules like Radiation and Diseases, to standard formula for = developing Androids, Robots and Cybernetic Organisms (ARCOs); the = advanced rulebook is there to help you with the technical specifications = of your game.=20

Currently additional sourcebooks are being developed, to include The = Urban Wars, a book which describes the tumultuous time period between = 2000 and 2125 A.D., Colonial Expansion, a book which describes the time = period between 2125 A.D. and 3000, and The Colonial Republic, a book = which describes the time period between 3000 A.D. and 3556 A.D.=20
