The Riddle of Steel (TROS) is a roleplaying game from Driftwood Publishing. Its a sword-and-sorcery fantasy game, its most notable characteristics being its detailed melee combat rules and use of Priorities to generate character concepts and statistics.
This game, though not often a subject of /tg/ discussion, has become the system for a highly popular series of Deathmatch Threads, in which bizarre characters would fight to the death for the pleasure of the crowd.
The noteworthy fights:
-A 4'8 Georgian Woman versus a Spanish Swashbuckler
-The same 4'8 Georgian Woman versus the entire Vatican City and then a Firing Squad
-A Drunken Finn with a knife versus a confused Croat
-A Time Traveling Serb versus a Scottish Shepherd
-A Bear with a Poleaxe versus two Camels with Rapiers
-Legionary Sulla versus A Gauntlet of Ethnic Stereotypes
-An angry German named Rickshaw versus Genoese Bas Rutten
Groins were stabbed, good times were had, and the Spirit of Steel lives on. A D20 modification of the game was introduced with marginal success, remakes were proposed, and are in the works. The future of TROS is unknown, but a round of dickstabbing is one thing /tg/ is clearly always up for.
