Wordplay RPG Core Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Wordplay is a rules light roleplaying game that uses descriptive phrases and applies them directly into the action by giving the phrase a value, which is converted into a number of six sided dice to throw. Wordplay is very easy to play and is designed to be used in any genre that you wish to explore.

Wordplay features the following:

  • Free flowing character creation using descriptive phrases and words called ‘traits’ which are then split between Body, Mind and Soul categories.
  • A fun dice building mechanic. Describe what your character is doing and make use of as many advantages as possible to build your hand of dice.
  • Roll your dice and get as many successes as possible – highest wins. Only the dice that land on the table count!
  • Create goals for your characters and drive them forward to succeed.
  • Pre-designed ‘themes’ – ready made settings to inspire you to create and play straight away

Wordplay focuses on how descriptions of characters affect play at your gaming table. Instead of numerous mechanistic modifiers the game presents narrative opportunities which are translated into dice for your characters. It’s light, open and encourages story telling and vivid descriptions around the table. Wordplay is a six sided dice paradise, so a large number of six sided dice are needed to play.

Is there a discount on PoD for those who have bought the PDF?

I purchased the PoD and pdf. Reading through the pdf (still waiting for the physical book to arrive), it says there's a character sheet available for download on your website. I looked for it but I wasn't able to locate it. Can you point me in the right direction? Please?

Can you provide a link to the character sheet? I might have missed it on the Wordplay site, but might have missed it.

Hi. Is this the latest version or is Worlds of Wordplay by d101games? This has a more recent date of being updated. It's confusing as to which one is the most recent.

How does it differ form previous editions? I would be interested to know if the dice pools are a little lower than in previous editions, as sometimes they feel a little unwieldy

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.
