What is diceless role-playing?
Technically, diceless role-playing is simply any RPG which does not use any randomizers like dice or cards. There are currently four published diceless RPG “systems”, including The _Amber_ DPRG, by Phage Press; _Theatrix_, by Backstage Press; _Persona_, by Tesarta Industries, Inc.; and _Epiphany_, by BTRC. Some games use non-numerical randomizers, such as _Everway_’s Vision Cards, and are thus not “diceless” in this sense. These are also distinct from most “dice-using” games, however. Also, some dice-using games have notes on how to run the game in a diceless fashion, such as FUDGE by Grey Ghost Games and _Witchcraft_ by Myrmidon Press. However, you should *not* assume that all diceless is like it is described in these games. “Diceless” encompasses a wide variety of playing styles, ranging from interactive storytelling to competitive simulation-style games.
