Welcome to the Encounter Critical Wiki, the only wiki to offer TRUE SCIENTIFIC REALISM on every page!
This site is dedicated to the science-fantasy role-playing game Encounter Critical. For those unaware of this fabulous game designed by S. John Ross, it can be summed as a fusion of Star Trek, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. You can play a Hobling astronaut, Robodroid wizard, or Klengon go-go-dancer, and arm your character with a morning star, musket, or phaser. Plus, it is completely free and can be downloaded from here (download link on the official website unfortunately no longer works).
Feel free to edit this wiki: New house rules and non-canonical content are more than welcome. You can come up with your own stuff, if you want to, or you can include material from EC-related blogs. Just remember to tell who's material you are using and include a link to the original source. All tables and lists (such as monsters, weapons, and armor) from the original Encounter Critical should be included, too, for easy reference. However, please don't copy body text of Encounter Critical pdf or book, as it is copyrighted material of S. John Ross.
Last, but not least: this site has next to nothing to do with S. John Ross. If you find here something that gives you self-destructive urges, it is very probable that he is not the one to blame (neither are you). With that said, you are welcome to enjoy the true scientific realism!
