Overview[edit | edit source]

"A role-playing game system is a set of game mechanics used in a role-playing game (RPG) to determine the outcome of a character's in-game actions."

Because of the multiversal nature of Quelmar (and the Tovag), different editions of Quelmar may be governed by different mechanics and rules. Within Quelmars, there may also be different mechanics which govern adjacent planes (such as The Underdark). Or a game master may choose a set of rules that are able to create the sense of gameplay that they are looking for in a particular campaign.

Foundational Systems (>30 sessions)[edit | edit source]

These systems have run for so long that their marks on Quelmar's lore and worldbuilding are unmistakable. Quelmar doesn't "belong" to these systems, but clearly meshes well with them as they were used for Quelmar gameplay in large swaths.
