Game Mechanics
While based on the Lone Wolf system (e.g., random number tables, combat results tables, etc.) a further level of complexity is added, making for a deeper experience:
- Skill sets are introduced (including, driving, stealth, shooting) which are often tested for outcomes. These vary and can be increased from book-to-book if the complete series is played (in a similar fashion to the Kai Disciplines in Lone Wolf). One of the most important details is that the more you carry, the more your stealth reduces.
- Ranged combat is as important as close combat and a variety of different weapons, with differing characteristics are available.
- In addition to meals, water and ammo are monitored.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or mechanics:
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
