Protocol

From publisher blurb:

The Protocol game series is a collection of roleplaying games stripping away all pretense and getting to the heart of storytelling. Each game uses the same basic mechanics — vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensembles — to tell non-derivative stories. Every player has all the tools he or she needs to create interesting characters and environments for their favorite stories. The Protocol game series uses a simple method of shared storytelling with charts, motivations, character interaction, and plot.

Every game stands alone. Every game shares a commonality. In the Protocol game series, each story explores disparate characters dealing with adversity in a dramatic fashion.

All of the Protocol Games use the same basic mechanic, but with very different results. Games can be played with or without a gamemaster, though without is the best method. Players only need paper, pencil, and a deck of cards. No dice are necessary. Some kind of token for drama point can help, but aren't necessary.

Owing to the way that these games were named and released, they currently have Series Codes associated with them despite not being part of a Series - this seemed redundant to have the RPG level and Series level duplicate information.
