A diceless storytelling system that uses playing cards and an open-ended stat system, "Argument" is designed to support any genre, from modern-day to cybertech or fantasy worlds. It uses a descriptive scale for all attributes, skills, and tasks, encouraging verbal description of ideas and actions, thus feeding into emerging storylines.
Note: This is the second release draft of the first public playtest version of the Argument system.

A game about a five year mission, where special effects never progressed beyond painted Styrofoam blocks and cheap double-exposures. The 70's were still The Future and Klingons had smooth foreheads. The idea of a Star Trek movie was a laughable proposition and nobody thought twice about planets full of Nazis and space hippies. |

The 20th Anniversary edition of one of the world's first free RPGs (still free, always and forever). For some, Risus is a handy “emergency†RPG for spur-of-the-moment one-shots and rapid character creation. For others, it’s a reliable campaign system supporting years of play. For others still, it’s a strange little pamphlet with stick figures. No matter what you think it is, there's no wrong way to play.

Enter the era of ice-age hunters! Select a Tribal Totem, Master Tribal Magic, Wander the Two Worlds, and Quest For Artifacts of Power For Your Tribe.
In true primitive fashion, Task Resolution is determined by using STONES: Orange stones are called Sunstones; grey stones are Earthstones. You can use glass beads, ornamental pebbles, whatever you can find. You'll need maybe ten of one colour and ten of another, put them in a bag and you're ready to go.
