EABA
The End All Be All game system, commonly known as EABA and pronounced "ee-buh", is a role-playing game system from Blacksburg Tactical Research Center (BTRC). It is a generic gaming system designed to adapt to any imaginary gaming environment. It was created by Greg Porter in 2003. The game cites the Hero System, GURPS and Call of Cthulhu as influences in its development. The game books and related materials are available only in a PDF format download, or printed on demand. History Prior RPG History Role-playing games (RPGs) of the 1970s and early 1980s were environment specific, and incompatible with one another. For example, TSR published its Dungeons & Dragons game specifically for a fantasy environment; Star Frontiers for science fiction-based role-playing; and other games for other environments, such as Gamma World, Top Secret, Gangbusters, Boot Hill. Each of these games was set with its own self-contained rules system, and the rules for playing each game differed greatly from one game to the next. This changed with the publication of GURPS, or Generic Universal Role Playing System, by Steve Jackson Games in 1986, the first commercially successful, all-encompassing, "universal" role-playing system. In 1987, BTRC published its first role-playing game, TimeLords,
