Originally published by Hubris Games, Story Engine is a set of universal rules that were designed to run story-based games from the ground-up. Its relative rather than linear scale accommodates everything from gothic and film noir settings to heroic fantasy and super-heroes. Action is resolved in whole scenes and can turn crucial moments into dramatic scenes. Both dice and diceless play is supported, and coupled with its innovative mechanics, Story Engine adapts seamlessly to any genre, providing fluid and fun games that focus on story and not the rules.

The Classic Edition of Story Engine is currently available in PDF format, along with Maelstrom Storytelling and its supplements (select softcovers and downloads available for the Maelstrom line). Order here.
