Lost Dice - a narrative RPG for all settings

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"LOST DICE" is a new narrative RPG system created by True Mask Games!
It is a freeform rulesystem designed to be used with many different settings, from dark and gritty survival to high magical fantasy and even sci – fi games.

Lost Dice is based upon two core principles: narrative gameplay and risk management. The rules are centered around a slightly unusual dice-pool mechanic, using everything from a D4 to a D12. Every single roll is narrative and supported by story decisions and descriptions. The players choose which two of their attributes they will combine to make an attempt and determine how and why those two attributes will play into the scene.

Players then decide how many dice (and which dice!) they want to roll for each attribute. The more dice they roll, the higher the chance of success. But careful: every die rolled has the chance of being "lost"...and when all the dice are gone a character will suffer the consequences!

These rules give narrative freedom while also allowing - especially for the more more mathematically and tactically inclined players - to influence the success chances of their actions and how much their characters are willing to risk for victory.

“Lost Dice” is designed to be easily adaptable so that every group can add more complexity to the rules or even strip it down until only the very core of the game remains!
In this document you will find some suggested Additional Rules that every group can choose to implement. We have also included a chapter advising you how to best utilize and adapt the gamesystem to different types of settings.

Also check out some of our other releases!

"Invisible Hands" is a book about factions of all kinds. It entails not only a thorough guide on how (and why!) to create factions in your games but also holds twenty fully fleshed-out factions of different kinds that you can directly put into your RPG setting! "Pawns in a Greater Game" adds the rules you need for playing as factions instead of individual characters and also adds stats and rules for each of the factions presented in Invisible Hands. "Unseen Strings" adds another twenty detailed factions to the collection and also includes all the rules you need to play these factions within the system presented in Pawns in a Greater Game.

It's not often that I spend 2 dollars and get this much return. I discovered True Mask Games from the YouTube channel of the same name. After watching some excellent an excellent one shot of Don't Rest Your Head and filling in some confusion that I [...]

In my opinion this system is amazing for everyone who loves simple, quick RPGs that can be adapted to many many settings. I've had the pleasure to play in two oneshots mastered by the creator of this system and both were vastly different. For those int [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
