  1. Diceless role-playing game

    Unreferenced date October 2006 A diceless role playing game is a role playing game which is not based on chance it does not use randomisers to determine the outcome of events in its role playing game system . The style of game is known as diceless because most games use dice as their randomiser some games such as Castle Falkenstein role playing game Castle Falkenstein use other randomisers such as playing cards as substitutes for dice, and are not considered diceless . Proponents of this solution argue that in all game systems, decisions are ultimately made by the GM, and rolling dice merely slows gameplay. Opponents may perceive diceless systems as more arbitrary and lacking the feeling of real unpredictability for example, the potential death of a character as a result of bad luck in a dice roll. Notable diceless games Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game uses no randomization, although secret information does create uncertainty for players Nobilis Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game uses a resource management system inspired by collectible card game s. Active Exploits Everway uses diceless mechanics, but also has elements of chance.

  1. Role-playing game system

    Unreferenced date March 2009 RPG A role playing game system is a set of game mechanics used in a role playing game RPG to determine the outcome of a Player character character s in game actions. While early role playing games relied heavily on either group consensus or the judgement of a single player the Dungeon Master or Game Master or on randomizers such as dice, later generations of narrativist games allow role playing to influence the creative input and output of the players, so both acting out roles and employing rules take part in shaping the outcome of the game.

Many role playing game systems involve the generation of random numbers by which success or failure of an action is determined. This can be done using dice probably the most common method or Playing card card s as in Castle Falkenstein role playing game Castle Falkenstein , but other methods may be used depending on the system.

  1. Wushu (role-playing game)

    Unreferenced date March 2008 Wushu is a free Generic role playing game system universal role playing game by Dan Bayn released under the Creative Commons license. Wushu is a non traditional role playing game. In a traditional game, a player would describe his character s action, and then roll dice to see if it succeed. In Wushu, a player describes what his character does, and then rolls dice to determine how effective the action was. For example, in a traditional RPG, one would say I try to hit him with my sword. and roll dice to determine success. In Wushu, one would say I slash across his stomach, releasing a spray of blood. and then roll dice to determine the effect on the larger plot. The description, rather than a character s stats, also determines the number of dice that are rolled. Each detail in the description adds one more die to the roll up to dice cap determined by the gamemaster , thus making the action more effective. Wushu runs on several principles. The first is the Principle of Narrative Truth. This means that whatever a player describes is exactly what happens. By doing so, Wushu can more closely emulate an over the top action movie style of play, since there are no penalties for difficult or flashy maneuvers. Counterbalancing the first principle is the second principle the Veto. Anyone at the table, gamemaster or player, can veto any detail and ask the player to describe something different. This helps ensure that the tone and genre of the game is maintained at all times. Players can even use this mechanic to suggest alternatives to one another, which helps create a stronger shared storytelling experience. Wushu has acquired a devoted following. The game ....
