So you’ve decided to change the rules. Hold up a minute. Who do you think you are? The rules were designed by people who got paid to do it, probably comply with an underlying structure, and, hopefully, were extensively playtested. In many cases you may be implementing the rule wrong or are missing another rule [...]

Earlier this week when we gave you confessions from a rules lawyer, we posed the question, “What advice would you give a novice GM?” Apathy Games editor, Paul von Meerschedit, had this to say.

Roleplayers are masters of pretending, but despite our best efforts at disbelief, we grew up. We have jobs, families, and mortgages now. Our time has become precious, and thus we demand more from our games and our social experiences than we ever used to. We refuse to sacrifice quality, but we don’t want to waste time on rules and bookkeeping. We would rather spend it interacting with our friends and loved ones. We need both elegance and sophistication.

This is the Apathy Games promise. Zero Compromise Roleplaying. Just invite your friends over, print an adventure, pour some drinks, and play.
