Ambition & Avarice: 2nd Edition

Publisher: Chubby FunsterAmbition and Avarice is an action-adventure roleplaying game with an easy-to-understand OSR chassis. The 2nd edition maintains focus on character classes and races that walk the line of respectability; the cultist, the savage, the zealot, and more. It also expands upon the original with a complete bestiary, new treasure crafting system, double the original number of magic spells, and a dramatically larger equipment chapter.
A&A 2e brings a fresh look to medieval fantasy with 12 unique classes that each bring something special to the table. Each class features; 
– Expertise in a class-specific task; like the Cultist’s ability to sacrifice humanoids to curry favor with their god or an Enchanter’s mesmerizing gaze to control the weak minded.- Identification of something in the world; like the Witch’s ability to identify sickness/disease or the Savage’s ability to recognize familiar scents and follow them.- Recruit class-specific followers to serve as henchmen; like the Knave’s ability to recruit spies or the Conjurer’s ability to create imps to serve them. Six flexible magic-using classes have a varied selection of new and exciting spells. There are easy methods to create your own enchantments, raise unique undead to serve you, or craft cursed items to give to your enemies. The non-magical classes have their own rich choices and don’t fade away in importance as the magical characters advance in level. These classes can then be combined with 10 classic fantasy races; from elves and dwarves to orcs and lizardfolk. You can combine them however you wish, creating everything from goblin rangers to dwarven brigands. Your race is no longer central to your destiny, playing a marginal role in restricting your actions in the game world.The entire package is designed to allow quick character generation and presented in a format that is clear and easy to read. The text is packed with expanations of not just the rules, but the reasons behind the rules. It is an ideal choice to hand to a new player who is looking to get into the great game, but turned away by thick rulebooks with byzantine organization. The adventuring mechanics are also OSR compatible and allow easy integration with a variety of old school campaign material. You can pick up this game, grab an old module, and get playing in a very short amount of time.Game on!Price: $13.00
