• Saves with the 1 and 20 rules, reactions and x-in-6 chances
• Character creation by background, everything rolled on the server, the ten-slot inventory with Fatigue
• Fights by sides: the first-round DEX save, attacks that always hit, impaired and enhanced dice, blast, detachments, armour
• Damage to HP then STR with the critical damage save, scars, Doomed, morale and panic
• Spellbooks, scrolls and relics; rests, camps and deprivation
• The bestiary, and an NPC autopilot that fights within the rules
