El-Hazard Role-Playing Game

The El-Hazard Role-Playing Game is a role-playing game published by Guardians of Order in 2001.

Description

The El-Hazard Role-Playing Game is based on the first El-Hazard anime OVA series and with rules based on the company's Tri-Stat system. The gameplay is reminiscent of the company's more generalized anime-inspired game Big Eyes Small Mouth, but features some modified mechanics and additional skills to better fit the El-Hazard universe. For example, it is possible to create "Relic characters" that are similar in nature to Ifurita, and earthling characters have access to the attribute "Unknown Superhuman Power" which allows the Game Master to pick special attributes or powers that the player must discern over the course of gameplay.

A note contained in the book suggested that the game would receive a supplement in 2002 based on characters and events from El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 2, but no such supplement was released.

Hazard

A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm; however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency. A hazardous situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and possibility interact together to create risk.

Identification of hazard risks is the first step in performing a risk assessment.

Modes of a hazard

Hazard (ship)

The Hazard was an Australian sloop wrecked in 1809.

In March 1809, three ships, the Argument, the Experiment and the Hazard left Pittwater, New South Wales, bound for Sydney with a cargo of wheat. A squall arose and the Hazard was driven onto Box Head, two miles north of Barrenjoey, New South Wales. The master, Andrew Lusk, got into the ships boat but was unable to persuade his single crew member, a boy, to join him. The boy was washed overboard and was dragged from the surf by some aborigines. Lusk attempted to make it to shore but the boat capsized and Lusk drowned.

The Hazard was a sloop of unknown tonnage, probably built in Sydney in 1800. It was owned by Thorley & Griffiths and had been chartered to Lusk.
