A table-top role-playing game (TTRPG) combines improvisation, tactical gaming, and dramatic stories into a unique pastime that is gaining a well-deserved mainstream audience. There's never been a better time to pick up role-playing, but how to choose what game? There are so many game genres waiting for you, from high fantasy to science fiction and urban fantasy to high school romance and cosmic horror – plus everything beyond and in between. Many gaming systems pick one of these genres to help you build and enjoy a campaign, but every different system and every genre has something to offer. But Snake Eyes is a role-playing system designed to be flexible and to engage your creativity in building games and characters for any genre! A versatile magic system allows for epic fantasy, a mecha-construction system lets you create your own giant robots or science fiction starships, and a martial arts system gives you all the tools you need for an anime-style campaign! Snake Eyes supports any genre of game, but also different levels of complexity. For a simple game, use the stats only. Comfortable with that? Then add in skills. You can play with or without maps, or even without round-by-round combat at all with our crisis system. Or jump right into the middle of it all with traits and complications, custom attacks and equipment! The Snake Eyes system gives players and Storytellers alike not just the pieces to create campaigns, but guidelines for creating custom traits, complications and more. After all, no game system should limit your imagination.
