Yet Another Game System
A quick guide - to the rules is also available, which describes very roughly how Yags works, though not in enough detail to actually know how to play.
Below are a number of settings for Yags.
Core Rules
The core rules cover all aspects of the system across all genres, but are setting agnostic. Currently, they are mostly geared towards the fantasy/historical genre, due to campaigns using Yags being of this kind.

Articles
The following short articles describe certain aspects of the rules in detail. Generally, they expand upon particular skills (such as computer hacking) or facet of the game (e.g. vehicle combat) than is suitable in the core rules. Some articles are collected together elsewhere in genre supplements.

Modern and Science Fiction
Modern and futuristic settings tend to use the same sort of rules - combat tends to be focused on firearms, with plenty of 'high tech' skills in the sciences and technical areas.

Rules for GDW's Traveller setting are also available, and are basically a specific version of the Modern rules.

Habisfern
Habisfern is an original fantasy campaign setting which has used Yags exclusively from the start. Yags has been designed principally to run Habisfern campaigns.

Future Plans
Yags is still very much a work in progress. It is hoped that the current version of 0.7 will be the last unstable release before 1.0. Future releases will only add to and clarify the existing rulebase.
Currently, most work is being performed in the areas of modern combat and vehicle rules.
