{"product_id":"story-engine-plus-edition-brett-m-bernstein-9780983256045","title":"Story Engine Plus Edition: Universal Rules for Scenematic Roleplaying","description":"Storytelling is one of the oldest living traditions, continuing today as theatre, literature, television and film. Roleplaying games evolved their own version of storytelling by piecing together a tale based on the outcome of dice rolls and player choices. Story Engine breathes new life into this multi-authored game format, infusing it with the fluidity of oral tradition while liberating it from the confines of turn-based mechanics.Create characters using adjectives and phrases. Like novels, the different elements of a character all contribute to the story -- even flaws and foibles. Collaborate to tell a story of the characters. Pool resources to work as a group to solve conflicts. Narrate the outcome of scenes based on success.This updated 2011 edition of the original ground-breaking Story Engine roleplaying game features: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete rules, plus introductory Story Bones(TM) rules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional rules for customizing the system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive advice on running games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree plug-ins for running different genres: Six Guns \u0026amp; Whiskey(TM) (Wild West), In the 'Zone(TM) (Sci-Fi), and Of Legend(TM) (Fantasy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-in for use with the Maelstrom Storytelling(TM) world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo adventures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brett M.
