I have a number of things planned for the future, which I hope will really take Elf Lair Games to the next level as a legitimate game publisher. Unlike most companies, we will have not a single house system, but THREE. That's right--THREE house systems, each of which scratches a slightly different play style itch. These systems will be:

- O.G.R.E.S., or the Oldschool Generic Roleplaying Engine System. This is the system that powers Night Shift, and consists of three mechanics: a d20 system for ability checks and combat; a percentile system for character class abilities, spellcasting, and skill-type rolls; and the Rule of 2, a basic mechanic that allows for quickly determining just about anything uncertain by throwing a die and looking for a 1 or 2.
- O.R.C.S., or the Optimized Roleplaying Core System. This is an evolution of the system that originally powered our first edition of Spellcraft & Swordplay. The S&S second edition will serve as a fantasy core rulebook powered by an evolved version of this system. It uses a 2d6 universal mechanic whereby you throw 2d6, add bonuses, and try to score 14 or better. This system uses minimal dice rolling, and rather than a pile of hit points, you simply take hits in combat, speeding up the process of combat greatly.
- Cd8, or Chutzpah d8. Cd8 is a fast, fun, and pulpy system which uses ability scores like Gumption, Chutpzah, and Cut of My Jib to generate dice pools of d8s, where you count "fist bumps" to determine successes in given tasks. It's a more modern, point-build and open system.
