STAR WARS (ed. Fantasy Flight)

“DMs in those heady, halcyon days when everything was new and wonderful were direct descendants of our Neolithic ancestors who threw sheep shoulder bones into the fire and read the cracks. […] Was it arbitrary? Mostly not. I treated dice like Nordic runestones; rolling high numbers was good; rolling 4 or less often meant it did not work out so well—everything in between was where we read the cracks in the sheep shoulders (and most of the time I paid no attention whatsoever to the die I rolled). Oftentimes, just “rolling under your Dex” was all it took.” Tim Kask _________“They all pay lip-service to the roleplaying part, but they all end just having you roll different dice for different situations. There again, that has taken away from a lot of the spontaneity of actually roleplaying. When I do my games, I give roleplaying points for people staying within their character. If they want to go out and kill things, that's easy to do, and a lot of referees that's all they do, but there's more to it. The richness is not in just rolling dice, the richness is in the characters and becoming part of this fantasy world.” Dave Arneson _________ “Vogliamo però avvisare il lettore che si inoltra in questo testo che tale filosofia di gioco è molto poco conosciuta ed utilizzata, e talvolta criticata. Tutti voi, che proverete a masterizzare con questo sistema, dunque, sappiate che incontrerete grosse difficoltà ma, se vi riuscirete, anche grosse soddisfazioni” Introduzione al Fantasy World System di ELISH
