Worlds Funsome and Free: Understanding Open Role-Play Adventure
A downloadable game
Heard of FKR? Its like extreme OSR, which is a kind of RPG, but I prefer to call it ORPA. So many acronyms! This here's a brief and informal explanation of all that. It comes down to running tabletop role-playing adventures with a focus on imagining events, rather than the strictures of a rulebook -- so this is a "rule-less rulebook" you might say. No sophisticated formatting, just black-and-white words on a page stating ideas directly, preferably to be printed out and experienced as hard-copy for tactile and focused consideration.
"At its most essential, Open Role-Play Adventure – ORPA for short – is tabletop role-playing achieved primarily through open discussion and impromptu judgments, rather than through recourse to pre-codified rule systems, as it was done in the earliest days of the medium before such systems existed. Very often this style of play prioritizes the evocation of a world as a believably living place, experienced vividly through description and collaboration – representational game mechanics used only as discretionary tools in the cause of that, not as the focus of play in themselves."
