MasterBook is a game system that can be used to roleplay in virtually any game universe, with virtually any options.
The MasterBook game mechanics require only two 10-sided dice, although extras may be rolled as bonuses. Variable results determine the outcome of both combat and social interaction, with a value scale used to quantify weights, distances, and times for these outcomes. MasterDeck™ cards may be played to enhance abilities and situations or create exciting plot twists. Custom powers and magical spells can be created to suit your game world.
Try the free MasterBook EZ download to get a feel for the basics of the system.
