-Mystic Crossroads is set up to be able to have a rich role-play experience while keeping combat quick with a Hit Location system of combat.

-Mystic Crossroads incorporates a full detailed world so that players know where their characters stand, and the history of the different races.

-Mystic Crossroads uses a 'skill-based' system instead of a 'class-based' system, so that players have more freedom to develop their characters as they choose.

-The concepts presented in Mystic Crossroads can be easily tailored and used in other game systems, including both LARP and traditional paper/dice games. Both the rules sets and the histories can be used to enhance other games.

-The Basic rulebook to Mystic Crossroads has a whole section devoted to how-to's for making LARP equipment and costuming, as well as information on forming and running your own Mystic Crossroads group if there is not currently one in your area.
