The Total//Effect is a set of rules, procedures, design thoughts, options, subsystems, worked examples and ramblings surrounding the creation and use in RPGs (role-playing games). It includes features such as versatile mechanics with several noted ways to be used. There are also three planned sample game adaptations available for purchase: Valiant Horizon: Heroics take place outside of normal society where they must first survive, then thrive using their newly acquired skills along the way and large threats looming on the horizon in a setting that is very much about survival rather than being powerful equipment/resource management are extremely important. Machinations Of Court And Frame involves proxy wars between noble Houses with dramatic mecha duels shifting loyalties leading to power struggles among individuals, leaders or House. It also includes subsystems such as combat using tactics similar to Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics; game mechanics that mimic Battletech's equipment setup system for customization of weapons/armor while balancing the use of powerful artifacts in a world filled with magic technology like Magicite items from Tales of Legendia 2E, along with the occasional touchpoint reference to System Shock or Cowboy Bebop.
