John F Sasso
Integrated Games Systems
IGS is a new gaming company committed to producing the types of
Role Playing Games that we like to play. Our goal is to sell
complete games for minimal cost to the consumer. Remember the days
when you could buy an entire RPG for $5? When all you needed was
a pocket full of dice and your own imagination?
Our first games will be High Fantasy specific, but the rules can
be easily adapted to any genre. We will eventually produce Science
Fiction, Horror, and Superheroes.
We are not producing games to sell. We are producing games for
my group of gamers to play. The system has already undergone five
years of playtesting, through various incarnations. We now think
that it has been streamlined enough that play is simple and
rewarding. As a GM, I am committed to produce tools that make the
GM's life easier. Rules must be helpful, not constraining. Our
goal is find the right mix between realism, ease of play, and
stimulation for dramatic role playing.
Please take a look at our first offering, Bloody Entrails, which we
are releasing into the public domain. Our current plan of projects
include Ape and Pillage (basic roleplaying), I Am God (GM rules),
Shoot Me First (Magick rules), and What the Hell Is It? (Critters).
Expect the first manual in early 1996.
