VI·VIII·X KUP RPG

Let's see what is under the hood... So far here is what I have in mind: A core rule book; this is not the traditional "player's handbook", it is rather a DM guide; from all the rules I have drawn, I took the ones for a "basic" game. The idea is that this book is for GMs only since they are the cornerstone figure in the game (I will eventually develop this concept, for the time being it is sufficient to say that GM are more important than in traditional RPGs).

Along with that I felt the need to have a deeper concept of magic, it was not enough to have a good number of spells; paradoxically I didn't care (and still I don't!
