Is it worth playing? What are its mechanics and rules?

Someone has it?

thanks

I have 4 of the 5 books iirc, don't think I've read much of them though.  Did think it was interesting, so am curious about it from those who maybe have played it as well.

I actually ran this quite a bit when I was in high school. Although I recently bought a new copy of the main book, I haven't had time to delve back into it yet.

The things that I remember liking about it were the nice variety of classes as well as a huge amount of magic/spells that weren't just a direct swipe from D&D. One other thing that I really liked was the combat system, most of the mechanics of which I can't recall right this second but which included concepts like heavily armored characters being hit more often but taking less damage and vice versa.

There was a fairly well detailed setting, although I clearly remember my favorite thing being that one of the countries on the developed continent was left completely blank for the GM to create whatever they wanted.

I'll take a look through it in the next couple of days and see if there is anything else specific that I can give to you.
