I don't have much to contribute on that, but _does_ sound like fun!

as for my attribute MRS, which is still approximately 1/10th written, 
it's an alternative system for attributes that better accords with the 
way me and my friends have played for a long time.  the basic idea is to 
have an orthogonal and complementary distribution of attributes such 
that if you don't have a more specific one defined then there's a 
general one to take up the slack.  this is similar to how BOD serves as 
a default for STR, DEX, AGI, END, etc.  but AR attributes tend towards 
the more specific.  also, this system includes hooks for a magic system, 
or psionics, or whatever.  although I love the psycho-social category, 
many psycho-social attributes fall under different categories in my 
system.

I'll release a beta version as soon as I can.


Love,
Ira
