[Planet] Introductory stuff

The working title for my possible heartbreaker is Planet. Here's some of the beginning stuff from it, so people can see where I'm coming from stylisitically:
Planet
An Introductory Totally Random Game System
Introduction
This is, to the best of my knowledge, a totally new game system based around the idea that simplicity is good, particularly in character creation. I believe the reason that many RPGs feel complicated to beginners is the number of decisions that must be made. I have therefore, attempted to actually take decision making power out of the hands of the players and make normally chosen aspects of the character creation process depend upon a random die roll checked against a table.
The Obligatory Introduction to Role Playing Games<
Supplies
Before you play, you should acquire: some pencils and papers for keeping track of characters; some friends to play with; and some dice of the normal six-sided variety and some with twenty sides available from hobby shops and comic book stores.

I like living in the past.
It's so predictable.
