What is it about?
EABA adapts one rules foundation to different genres and levels of power. Characters combine attributes, skills, and traits purchased with points. EABAlite offers a free introduction, while the complete rules develop powers, vehicles, and further subsystems. Any supplement-creation permissions must be checked against their specific licence and version.
02
At the table
Purchase attributes, skills, and traits with points, then use six-sided dice to resolve actions. The game master sets the campaign’s capability level and available options.

Publishing route unconfirmed
EABA had an Open Supplement License specifically for supplements, distinct from EABAlite's non-commercial permission. To publish today, confirm the historical licence's validity and conditions with the rights holder; no current permission is confirmed in this entry.
Conditions
Consult the current Open Supplement License before publication. Historical texts require a notice, a copy of the licence and sending a copy to BTRC; they allow compatible works, not copying all of EABA. OSL 2.0 dates from 2012 and differs from the EABAlite sample.
