	Exile is an SF Space Opera [[RPG]] by [[Mark ReinHagen]]. It was written in 1996 as a new game for [[White Wolf]], with the intention that the rights be transferred to a nonprofit, the Null Foundation, so that it would not be ruined by crass commercialism and could be guided by an enlightened community of artists and writers. In a striking demonstration of the wisdom of letting artists and writers run things, ReinHagen promptly got into a slap-fight with his colleagues and left the company, taking Exile with him. It was replaced with Aeon/[[Trinity]]. Other ill-fated creative endeavors using the same setting include [[Z-G]], [[GURPS]] Exile, and an Exile MUD.

	The players are exiles from the core worlds of the Hegemony, where humans live an Eloi-like utopian existence. Beyond the core worlds lie the lawless worlds of the Grange.

In many ways it's very similar to Firefly without the cowboy theme.		The players are exiles from the core worlds of the Hegemony, where humans live an Eloi-like utopian existence.

	Exile uses a percentile system ~~with extra~~ '~~successes~~' ~~granted for every 10 points~~ you roll under your skill. ~~Character advancement resembles a combination of Storyteller and Call of Cthulhu~~, ~~with an experience point granting a variable amount of skill gain depending on whether~~ you ~~manage to~~ roll ~~over~~ your ~~current skill or not when spending it~~.		Exile uses a hybrid percentile/success-counting system. You roll 1d100 and try to roll as high as possible ''without exceeding your skill''. If you roll over your skill, you fail. If you roll under your skill, you count the number on the tens die as your number of successes. Rolling very low is even worse than rolling too high, as you will critically fail if you roll 01, or under your Malaise/Exhaustion score.

	Skills are divided into six categories according the the ability they are based on: Coordination, Vigor, Presence, Expression, Reason and Intuition.
