Fudge (role-playing game system)

FUDGE ( Freeform Universal Do- it-yourself Gaming Engine) is a type of modular for pen & paper role-playing games.

It is not a finished universal system, but challenges convention, suggestions and ideas ready to create their own. FUDGE places great emphasis on flexibility and makes it very easy to play different genres. It was founded in 1995 by Steffan O'Sullivan invented and since then driven by Grey Ghost Press. FUDGE is available in hard copy or as a free download. A translation into the German language there since 2000, it is also available free of charge.

FUDGE is considered the largest in the world existing outside ( Universal) role playing game. There are too most commercial role-play conversion tools that allow one to play in the world of role-playing games with the FUDGE system.

The special feature of FUDGE is also the word -based representation of the skill and attribute levels. Unlike other game systems there are no characters with " sword fight 8" but " great swordsman ". This is easier especially for beginners to understand and link the "values" more closely with the game world. ( A character can say, "I 'm a great swordsman ", but not "I 'm swordsman in the 8th level " )

A further development of FUDGE is FATE.
