July 4th Firework Mayhem Encounter
In the spirit of the July 4th weekend I decided to create a wacky encounter for my players. I like to create encounters around holidays or other occasions that may be going on. It is a lot of fun to create these themed encounter and adventures. Player love them as well as they are topical […]

This separation is the core of the Atomic RPG System Power system and is very different from other games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
