Hello all -
Trying to remember a game system from "back in the day" - would have been from a major publisher (at the time, at least) as opposed to an "indie game developer".
The key element I recall (and the thing that has triggered this search) is the skill system - instead of using numeric ranks, or providing a skill-score, the character sheet had little checkboxes. If you had the skill, you checked the box. Now, there were "extra" ranks - I think you could have up to three checks (think trained - expert - master or something like that).
I believe it was a system that was used perhaps in mutliple genres of RPG from the same publisher (ala Chaosium system in Call of C'thulhu, Stormbringer and Pendragon, but definitely not that system) which is why I believe that I can't remember the genre of game.
Any thoughts, Playground?
