Uune

About

Welcome to Uune! Uune is a roleplaying base game, designed to facilitate games of a variety of styles and genres.

Uune is designed with the following goals in mind:

• This is a toolbox. Each piece of the game meant to solve certain types of problems. Some tools are better suited for certain tasks, while others are not. New tools should be able to be added easily when needed.
• Player’s agency is vital to the game. Only a player can decide what their character thinks, how their character acts, and what their character says. If something is possible, players should be able to find a way to make it happen, even if it is difficult.
• Reward the fun. We should reward both a player’s creativity and their knowledge of the game. The facilitator of the game is there to help the fun happen, not to be an adversary for the players.
• Make it easy. Mechanics should be believable and intuitive, often grounded in reality, but abstracted enough to stay out of the way. They should encourage the rest of the goals of the game. They should be as clear and simple as practical, and offer up complexity only when beneficial. The game should offer inspiration as a jumping off point, but provide flexibility in it’s application.
• Make is accessible. The rules should be offered in multiple formats and accomodate assistive technologies. The game should allow anyone, regardless of state or status, to enjoy roleplaying games. Everyone should be free to produce content extending, altering, or sharing the game.

Uune is provided as a System Reference Document, along with separate documents for additional core material, all of which are placed into the public domain.

This project is made by a human, with no generative AI content included or supported.

Core Features

Uune is presented with the following features as part of the base game and material:

• A low barrier to entry, needing only a standard set of D6s.
• A resource driven dice pool that enables creative thinking and solutions.
• Character shticks, providing to the point build options that can be mixed and matched.
• Bonds which reward players for acting on their character’s identity.
• Combat which can be fast and deadly, but also tactful and rewarding.
• And it’s completely free, no strings attatched, forever.
