Summary: Easy of Play is Paramount!
Comment: And on that note, XID Creative shines with its release of "Providence: Main Rule Book." The Creative System does all it says and more.

- The Creative Engine is a clean and clear skills-based system providing both flexability in use and character development in play.

- System resolution utilizes target number (TN) resolution, providing as many or as few modifiers as the troupe feels comfortable with.

- Magic and powers system that, while initially difficult to grasp, is quite fluid once understood.

- The Providence world is presented in enough detail to provide a base level of play, very sufficient to get a grasp on.

Overall, an excellent game!
