The Northern Reaches will be played using Green Ronin's True20 system, based on the D20 SRD, with some significant changes in places. The major one is that characters do not have hit points, but have wound thresholds that can be gained if a Toughness check is failed against incoming damage. The net effect is that as characters rise through the 20 levels they become increasingly harder to hit due to their skill but remain all too fragile to a well placed blow.

The Fantasy Paths book and the three class handbooks are all available.

Here are some resources for True20:

• The True 20 SRD
• The Green Ronin True20 PDFs (get the revised edition)
• Mad Irishman True20 character sheet a bit all over the shop UNLESS you have Adobe Acrobat Pro.
• Another flat non form fillable sheet for printing
• A simple Google Doc to capture character details
• True20 House Rules
