(Publisher Summary)
-U- The Game of Stories is a simple, rules-lite universal game system for players who want to jump in and tell a story.
Character Creation...
...takes a few minutes. Choose a favored stat, 4 studies, and 2 signature items for your character, and you're ready to play.
Story Creation...
...needs little preparation. Make a beginning, some middle events, and an end.
Task Resolution...
... is done by trying to get a single success out of multiple chances using a slot-machine like 3d6 method.
Rewards...
... go the players, not the characters. The more you play in a particular Setting, the more robust character you can make for the next story you play in it.
Included in the Core Rulebook is everything you need to start telling stories using -U-:
* All of the rules to play the game
* Character Records (in playing card size)
* Player Reward cards
* The Rules-At-A-Glance for travel.
