Wordplay: The Big Five
A narrative roleplaying game with four mini-settings¸ known as themes - including ""The Cold Crusade"" by Mark Galeotti; ""The Empire of Gatan"" by Newt Newport with Graham Spearing; ""Infinite War"" by Newt Newport; and ""Keep Portland Weird"" by Charles Green. Character creation uses free-form traits assigned to categories Body¸ Mind¸ or Soul. The player assigns two traits at 6d¸ five at 5d¸ and nine at 4d; as well as defining a long-term goal¸ short-term goal¸ and shared group goal. Resolution uses a dice pool mechanic¸ rolling d6s equal to a trait appropriate to the challenge¸ where every 4 or 5 is one success¸ and 6 is two successes. There are bonus dice of standard 1d per 3 trait points from assisting characters¸ and bonus dice if the character invokes a Goal. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
