Earth 2020
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earth 2020 is a 1983 role-playing game published by Stephen Kyffin.
Earth 2020 is game set in the then-future of 2020. Technology has allowed everyone to live lives of leisure, but some people — the player characters — seek adventure.[1] Designer Stephen Kyffin designed the game as "an optimistic view of the future, with more technology and human understanding of ourselves and the planet we live on."[2]
The book is divided into four sections:
- Introduction of life in 2020, and includes notes on leisure, the military, space and undersea cities.
- Character generation includes over 160 possible professions, and equipment that can be purchased.
- Skills resolution, with a list of more than 50 skills.
- Combat resolution.[1]
