This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

New! Cyberblues City - like cyberpunk, only more mellow. Free, fully illustrated roleplaying game based on the Fudge system
Bounty Hunters of the Atomic Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic western game based on Fate. It\'s simple, it\'s free and it\'s in colour!

Reminds me a bit of Once Upon A Time... which is a fun story-game.

Got it! The more dice, the greater the task of making a connected story from them all. Character prowess will be represented by *eliminating* story dice from the pool, one by one, thus making the story you want easier to create. Opposition will be based on either returning a particular die to the pool, fixing a die so that it is not rolled, but must remain in whatever orientation is chosen, or taking away a die which might make the story easier. There would be no GM, of course, so the opposition would be provided by the player to your left.

It could work... :D

That was my first though - the first pure Story-Game.

That'd be awesome about about 6 beers.

Ever seen a video of a koala after a few eucalyptus leaves?

That's a myth, actually. It's the bottles of Jack Daniels they keep up there that do the trick.

very cute idea.
Reminds me of some colored d.6's I had years back. One had various weapons printed on it, another armor types one had terrain and one had corridors and doors,can't remember the others. Don't recall where I got them but they were cool to fool with!
:)
I like clashes idea and after the beers "shhure 'ould beh a hoot!"

HEY! how about a grim version of these cutsie d.

etc...
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Aren't those the dice for WFRP4?  :D
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar
