So, for a long time I have had an idea for an RPG mechanic kicking around in my head based around using Rory's Story Cubes and leaning heavily into the idea of RPG games being a shared story-telling experience with minimal mechanics needed. I finally wrote it all down for people to potentially try it out. It is designed to be genre and period agnostic and really only needs a big bunch of Rory's Story Cubes.

If you want to check it out, I put it on my Game Design blog for anyone to come and try. It is simply called the Storytime RPG....

I look forward to comments, details about how it worked/didn't work, and hate mail.
