From the introduction: Welcome to A Fistful Of Dice (AFOD), a multi-genre roleplaying game (RPG) system. The AFOD system is suitable for play in many different settings, with rules that cover different time periods and fictional genres, making many fantasy, science fiction, action, and horror games possible. This manual is not revolutionary or radically different from other roleplaying systems. It simply has elements we find useful and removes elements that we have ignored when playing other roleplaying games. This is a system that we at Azathot want to use when we play. If you are looking for a rule to specify the precise chances for a human with above-average dexterity and a sprained wrist to do a somersault on a grass surface while wearing exactly 4kg of gear, you’re out of luck. The Game Master, or GM, will need to make decisions and use judgement during game sessions. This is not, however, a “ruleslight” system. There are plenty of rules and guidelines for almost any kind of game, with enough flexibility to keep the game fast and fun. Oh yeah, and I hope you like to roll dice.
