Adventures

Running An Adventure

​​

Welcome to The Endless Road, a fantasy roleplaying game by Adventure Calls Entertainment! This is a Open-2Play RPG designed for easy pick up and play, but still deep enough to run a robust campaign. All rules needed to create a character and run a session can be found on the game screen.

​

Open2Play RPGs are made with the Designed by Dice ruleset. It uses a standard set of RPG dice, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20 . Instead of classes, assign a separate die (d4 through d12) to each of the 5 Traits and 5 Skills. The combination of Traits and Skills generates the essence of a character.

 

Open2Play RPGs are light on the rules. You only have this insert and the 8 panels found on the gamescreen itself. Measurements are often fuzzy or descriptive, and the rules focus on the most common situations. Because of this, the GM is expected to make judgement calls and extrapolate the guidelines provided to cover all the different things that can emerge from play. Use what is written to maintain fairness and balance, but above all have fun!

​

The game strives to give players agency using two primary mechanics. First, all activities are determined by player-made dice rolls. When a Skill check is needed it will always be done from the player’s perspective. The GM rarely makes any rolls for NPCs. Instead, they ask the player to make the most appropriate Skill, Trait, or Resist check.

​

The second mechanic encourages players to interact with the GM to improve their chances of success. When facing a challenge, players can negotiate with the GM to lower the challenge level. Look for things described in the environment, flaws in the opponent’s defense, help from team members, or abilities that might provide an advantage. The GM then alters the challenge to match the updated situation.
