genreDiversion

genreDiversion products are downloadable roleplaying games in Adobe® Reader® PDF format devoted to a specific genre or theme. Players portray characters in the game, acting as if on-stage, although typically huddled around a table. One player acts as the gamemaster, like the director of a play, who is the referee and narrator, and sets the stage for the other players. While the rules are easy to learn, we recommend that at least one player understands the concepts of roleplaying and gamemastering, no matter how slight his experience is. Any genreDiversion game would make an excellent introduction to roleplaying for those who resist because of oversized books and an excess of rules. In fact, the less a group of players knows about the system, the better it is for the gamemaster, as he can unfold the story based on the portrayals of the characters they play, rather than being a slave to the rules
