A Quick Intro To THE AXIS
What is THE AXIS?
Developed over the last decade by a group of oldschoolers who have been playing since the late 80s, THE AXIS is a universal and entirely modular traditional table-top RPG system built around the ambitious concept of near-limitless character customization for any gaming genre, with flexible rules allowing it to fit any style of play. It can be made very light for more fast-paced, action-oriented games, as well as meticulously detailed, for games in which more realistic elements can make a difference.
THE AXIS’ mechanics are entirely new and original; nonetheless, the system doesn't attempt to reinvent the wheel, also building upon tried and true principles found in the titans of the field, whom we’ve known and loved for over 35 years.
Some features of the system:
Universal
Play any RPG genre and setting, or cross over from one to another.
Entirely modular
Choose rulesets, mechanics, and even character features that best fit your game, making it practical or realistic, simple or detailed, casual or ambitious... or anywhere in-between.
Multifaceted
It combines a point-based system for character creation and development with an optional level system for character evolution in more fantastic, heroic, or similar genres.
Adaptable to any universe
Use modular features to faithfully adapt characters from your favorite franchises in movies, series, comic books, literature, animes, and others.
All-encompassing
Scalable tiers and orders of magnitude, from the minuscule, to the human level, to colossal, planetary, and astronomical levels of power and ability.
World-building

Limitless character customization
Create characters freely, choosing among numerous species and archetypes, hundreds of skills, talents, hindrances, social assets and handicaps, background options, special abilities, magical spells, divine miracles, psionic powers, super-heroic powers, cybernetic implants, and more.
