Alique: an Anything RPG

Suggested Price $1.00

I don't want you to buy a game you're not interested in, so here's the design decisions and concepts. This game is heavily narrativist. That means the system is very simple without any real tactical complexity. It’s more focused on telling a cool story than on careful resource management. There's lots of ways for players to manipulate the dice rolls, and players almost always succeed. There are resources to manage and randomness from dice certainly plays a part (six siders, to be exact). No PC has infinite resources, but you can typically expect the players to succeed in any challenge without any tactical care or consideration.

Alique is intended to be generic, and so who you play and what they do depends on the setting you choose to use or create. It's also intended to be light, fast, and a breeze to get into and just start playing. As such, Alique leans heavily towards freeform cinematic action, and theater of the mind. 

Alique can also work with any genre or style that the group wishes to embrace. Alique uses a pool of d6 to roll. Usually one, commonly two or three, but sometimes (rarely) 5 or more. Roll a die, take the highest, and compare the result to the table. If you don't like the result, spend a point from a character trait and roll again. High is good, low is bad, middling results, middling successes.

I have a few thoughts about this system and this PDF in particular. This system is lite. It is not meant for number crunching or for simulation type games. It is meant to tell a story. A story that is shared with the GM and the players. The whole syste [...]

Alique is a wonderful system to pick up for a spur of the moment game with your friends. Only thing you need is some d6's and your off on an adventure. The ruleset is beautiful in it's simplicity and lends itself perfectly to improvisational [...]

Alique is a streamlined generic system that works well with improvisation. It does not require or benefit from tactical combat grids, splatbooks, or most extranious material. I used this system to run a game for a family with players from 6 years old [...]

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.
