Bones the Role Playing Game
A fantasy role playing game in which characters¸ monsters¸ equipment¸ and obstacles are all represented by customized six-sided dice. These can be made by gluing printed icon sheets onto dice¸ marking on blank dice¸ or simulated with a computerized dice roller utility. Each die has icons such as Universal Success¸ Physical Success¸ Mental Success¸ Universal Hindrance¸ Damage¸ and many icons for skills¸ magic¸ and special circumstances. Action resolution is by rolling your set of dice and counting applicable success icons¸ compared to the result of Challenge dice (if unopposed) or the opposed entity's dice (if opposed). Challenge dice have 2 out of 6 faces as Null which cancels one success. Character creation is open point-based of a sort: the player chooses icons for his four starting dice. One face is always Universal Success¸ and one face is either Physical Success or Mental Success¸ while the other four are freely chosen from the other choices. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
