![]() | Game Summary | [ Edit Main Info ] |
An innovative but commercially unfortunate RPG.
Everway is set in a universe (or multiverse) of different worlds connected by Gates. Characters are expected to frequently travel between worlds. The backround given is a little sketchy, but adequate given the intended use.
Mechanically Everway is simple and flexible, with a fantasy "feel". The simple rules for Powers allow characters to take strange and unusual abilities of the sort found in myth, legend or fairy-tale.
One of the most interesting innovations is the use of Tarot-like cards for action resolution. The cards are interpreted in a qualitive way rather than representing numbers - using the meaning of the card and the symbolism and images on it as appropriate.

| 8 / 10 | BigJackBrass | Surprisingly deep and flexible, if a bit "new age" in tone, Everway never really had the chance it deserved. On the other hand, that meant that cheap copies flooded the market and even now you can buy a shrinkwrapped box for a few pounds. |
| 4 / 10 | C.W.Richeson | Clearly an introductory game, while Everway has interesting mechanics there is very little setting material and support provided. |
