FU: The Freeform Universal RPG (Classic)

FU: The Freeform Universal Roleplaying Game is a game of action, adventure and fun! It is a roleplaying game of grand proportions and stupefying simplicity. FU lets you create exciting stories in any setting imaginable, with a minimum of fuss, or even preparation. Some features:

• Create interesting characters quickly by creating descriptors.
• Resolution mechanic pushes towards an interesting narrative with Yes and / Yes but / No but / No and results.
• Only players roll the dice, leaving the Narrator free to plot the character's doom!
• Easily modified and hacked to suit your own style of play.

These are the original "classic" rules, released under a creative commons attribution license (details in the file and on the Peril Planet website).

With FU, you can create characters in a matter of minutes and immediately be exploring your story. When confronted with risk, players gather a small pool of dice based on the descriptions created in play, and roll. Action resolution is intuitive and fast, and the die results propel the story forward.
