Sorry, I know this isn't T&T related, but I was curious if anyone else has ever heard of/owns/played The Creatrix Multi-Purpose Role-Playing Game? It is a 20 page booklet written by A. C. Donovan and published in 1990. It seems to have maybe been self-published because there is no parent company or contact info within the booklet. It is a very rules lite system that uses a single matrix for all resolutions. This one matrix and a d6 is basically all that is needed to play, and the rest of the booklet explains and gives examples of how to use it for various situations, like combat, skills, etc. It is designed in a way that a GM can make rulings on the fly by simply applying 'Action' vs. 'Resistance' on the Matrix.
I picked it up back in 1990 but have never played. I've read it several times over the years and it seems like it would work pretty well. The book teases regarding the future release of supplements and other materials, but I never saw any or heard of the game again. I have done dozens of internet searches at various times and never come up with anything at all. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this RPG or its writer, and if there were any more releases? I also was curious, on the rare chance that someone has actually heard of and played this game, any thoughts or comments regarding it?
Seeing as many T&Ters like to customize their game, Creatrix seems like it would be right up their alley. It is 100% customizable, and as a matter of fact one MUST customize it to play (it does not contain any scenarios, spells, monsters, etc., but the combat section does include a variety of weapons spanning from Fantasy to Modern).
