Story Engine Plus Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

All New Edition of the Classic Scenematic™ Rules

Storytelling is one of the oldest living traditions, continuing today as theatre, literature, television and film. Roleplaying games evolved their own version of storytelling by piecing together a tale based on the outcome of dice rolls and player choices. Story Engine breathes new life into this multi-authored game format, infusing it with the fluidity of oral tradition while liberating it from the confines of turn-based mechanics. Create characters using adjectives and phrases. Like novels, the different elements of a character all contribute to the story—even flaws and foibles. Collaborate to tell a story of the characters. Pool resources to work as a group to solve conflicts. Narrate the outcome of scenes based on success.

This updated edition of the original ground-breaking Story Engine roleplaying rules features:

  • Complete rules, plus introductory Story Bones™ rules
  • Optional rules for customizing the system
  • Extensive advice on running games
  • Three plug-ins for running different genres: Six Guns & Whiskey™ (Wild West), In the 'Zone™ (Sci-Fi based on Shatterzone™), and Of Legend™ (Fantasy)
  • Plug-in for use with the Maelstrom Storytelling™ world
  • Two adventures


"...a great job of polishing and editing the original."

Note: This PDF has been upscaled from the original 6x9 layout of the softcover to a printable 8.5x11 format.

It is a nice, interesting game that can play much faster than the usual role-playing game. Those who have moved beyond hack-and-slash would love it. Illustrations and support material is pretty basic so it requires an enterprising GM to make it work. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
