| FateLess |
This GM-Less game focuses on the adventurous stories of individual characters, their personal goals and their development as human beings. Players might be allies or enemies, lovers or strangers, but somehow their destinies will end up twining and influencing each other. All of this on the backdrop of a rich and detailed game settings that no one needs to know ahead, as the game will make it grow through active play, adapting it to the Player's tastes and needs. This is true exploration of a world that no one knows until it gets revealed by the actions of the Characters. [more info] |

| Geiger Counter |
Geiger Counter is a game system for Survival Horror. It was designed to do two things: 1) emulate movies in which most of the main characters eventually die and 2) perform really well in single-session play, such as a pick-up or convention game. This game requires a bunch of six-sided dice. I use about 20-30 dice of one color for the main characters and 8 dice of a different color for the menace. You will also need a large sheet of paper (I often tape six sheets of computer paper together into a giant rectangle), copies of the play sheet included at the end of this booklet, and a small number of unique tokens to represent the major characters. This is a beta version. Playsheets can be found at http://bleedingplay.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/geiger-beta-sheet.pdf [more info] |

One of you, called the GM, will instead manage the reflection of the characters in the Astral Space, acting as antagonists and foils. But everyone playing the game will have the opportunity to take on other roles, called manifests, incarnations of the forces of Astral Space, whether from the characters or their reflections. Lastly, the characters can have or share one or more ships. Ships act much like characters, with their own personality and place within the action. [more info] |

You will need a good-sized sheet of paper to draw on, pencils, and something on which to record characters (index cards are good). A big pile of 10-sided dice is helpful but not necessary. You'll also need to print and cut out the game cards, or transcribe them onto something. [more info] |
