Encyclopedia > Interlock System
Jump to: navigation, search

The Interlock System is R. Talsorian Games' proprietary role-playing system. It is one of the direct parents of the Fuzion system (the other is the Hero System). The Interlock System is a "skill-based" system — characters are created by choosing skills for them, and by advancing those skills individually; rather than by choosing character class packages. The Interlock System is used primarily in the Cyberpunk 2020 and Mekton role-playing games; a variant of the Interlock System is used in Teenagers from Outer Space and the Japanese Gundam Senki RPG. Stats and skills are both rated on a scale of 0-10 with 0 representing no ability/no training and 10 representing the maximum ability possible for a human being. A typical skill roll will range from 12-20 for most tasks, so a skill 10 + stat 10 will succeed at virtually any task barring a critical mishap, while a skill 0 + stat 2 (minimum statistic level for a human character) will fail at any but the very simplest task, and even then will succeed only on a critical success.

Talsorian Games and Hero Games. ...

The Interlock System is best known for its Lifepath system, a storytelling device used to create character backgrounds without particular direct benefit or drawback to the character, avoiding min-maxing. Min-maxing is the practice of playing a role-playing game for the intent of creating the best character by means of minimizing undesired traits and maximizing desired ones. ...

The interlock system includes an actuation system which responds to the nozzle resting on the fillpipe opening at a predetermined point along the discharge spout of the nozzle and a valve located at the outlet of the vent tube from the automatic shut-off system.
The interlock system is biased in such a manner that the valve remains closed at all times unless the nozzle is resting in the fillpipe in the proper manner.
An interlock valve actuation system is provided on the discharge spout to sense the weight of the nozzle resting on the bottom of the fillpipe opening, which places the interlock valve in a closed position except when the presence of the nozzle resting in the fillpipe opening is sensed.
