StoryMax Scenematic Roleplaying Game Rules

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Public Beta now available for download.

This game system lets you adventure in any imaginable setting by describing characters with your own colorful phrases and adjectives. Flexible and easy to learn, the rules can be adapted to everything from science fiction to fantasy, from pulp and super-heroic adventure to dark horror. StoryMax has its roots in Story Engine™, one of the original games to focus more on the narrative rather than cold, hard numbers. In order to play, you will need a bunch of willing players, handful of six-sided dice, pencils, paper, and plenty of imagination.

Characters in StoryMax are written using adjectives and phrases, creating unique roles with real personality. Abilities, disabilities, and threads are used to determine how many dice to roll. These elements can also be "burned" to gain advantages when they suit the scene. Like a novel, the different elements of the character all contribute to the story.

StoryMax is still being developed. Because of this, certain rules and other elements may change in future versions. Many people have expressed interest in these rules, so we have released an early version to get it in your hands. Note that there are virtually no examples in this release, so feel free to ask questions. We would also appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Includes optional rules for using a special card deck to enhance play.

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.
