A downloadable game

Atlas of Worlds is a rules light, worlds heavy roleplaying game. 

HOW TO PLAY: Open the webpage (carrd.co), pick a world, create a character, take note of their SKILLS, read the opener and start playing. Atlas of Worlds will include:

  • 36 (wip) playable worlds with succinct and useful descriptions of setting, exploration, social challenges and characters.
  • Description-based resolution where it's the players' job to judge an action referring to a description of character SKILLS and not to numbers.
  • 36 (wip) openers for your games.
  • A simple die mechanic if needed, of course.
  • Two useful tables for pushing the story onwards.
  • Example of play.


DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: It’s FKR or Free Kriegsspiel Revolution. Play the world by its internal laws, not by rules. Trust one another and yourself to create the experience. It’s probably also story gamey, if you like.

LICENSE: Credit yourself. You play the worlds. But if you want to recognize Atlas of Worlds, it’s CC BY 4.0.

Thanks a lot. This is very encouraging! Hope I’ll finish cyberpunk by the end of August the latest.

“CC 4.0, or whatever” isn’t a valid license. Even “CC 4.0” isn’t (the one in the link is “CC BY 4.0”).

A license is a legal contract. Either use it properly, or don’t use it at all.

Thanks for commenting, you are right. I’ll change it.

Thanks a bunch! I myself enjoy it a lot as well. I'll keep updating the page as more world descriptions are complete.
