Yags Modern is a generic set of character generation rules for present day and near future role playing.

When generating a character, players choose how to prioritise the abilities and background of the character. What the priorities are may vary from campaign to campaign. A high fantasy campaign will give far more points than a low fantasy campaign for example. A political campaign may make it easier to have high social status.

These character generation rules are to be rolled out to all versions of Yags, and will replace the rules for packages in Habisfern.
