Read on to learn more about this unique RPG platform and how it can revolutionize your gaming experience.

What is Dicesongs

Dicesongs is a website created for players and GMs of fantasy RPGs that offer tools to improve their game, including detailed character backstories, unique NPCs, mini-quests, and more.

The premise of the Dicesongs system is simple: it’s your typical home-brew/sandbox RPG where the GM takes on the role of narrator and storyteller. What makes it different is that all players will roll one d20 at the start of the game to determine their party’s fate and path. The lowest number rolled starts the party off with where on the world of Ertha they start from. Each player, from the lowest up to the highest, chooses a portion of how the game starts.

The Mini-Quests within Dicesongs are designed to make you think, with each quest containing a hidden morality thread buried within it.

There are plenty of adventures in the Dicesongs world, on land or sea, in the center of Ertha, or in unexplored dimensions. And with guild membership comes even more possibilities!

What sets Dicesongs apart

Unlike other RPG platforms, Dicesongs offers two distinct advantages: flexibility and adaptability. Our system was designed from the ground up with compatibility in mind; it is compatible with all popular Role-Playing games. Regardless of what you are hosting or playing, our platform has something special to offer your game overall. Our flexible framework allows you to customize it to fit your needs by adding flavor text and elements like exotic ethnicities and unique items.

The basics of Dicesongs

At its core, Dicesongs is an RPG platform that puts storytelling first. With our game system, you have complete control over your character’s fate and every twist and turn of their journey. We provide a skeleton framework for you to work within, including rules for task resolution (i.e., how characters succeed or fail at various tasks) and formulas for creating story arcs and pacing. We also provide a set of premade adventures if you need some inspiration or want to jump right in.

The Great Guilds

Dicesongs is home to various Great Guilds, each with its specific membership requirements. This can open up many doors in this grand world that unite players and characters. Within Dicesongs lies the beginnings of stories no one had ever imagined before, with the opportunity to dive deep into character backstories that had been otherwise missing in the development of these unique individuals. Invite yourself to become part of Dicesongs, settle in with your own customized set of dice, and be taken away on a journey where dreams can finally become a reality!

Footprints

Mini-Quests within the Dicesongs world of Ertha is a fun and interactive way to learn valuable lessons. Here, you’ll find that every step, big or small, carries intangible consequences that will leave a mark on a character’s reputation. Each Mini-Quest is built around an Esop’s Fable-style story, buried deep within the gameplay, where choices and decisions come into play. All possible adventures, from walking on land to flying in the air to venturing through dimensions, are connected with these Mini-Quests, which offer varied teachings about morality and character growth. One might think of them as parables for modern times – thought-provoking principles encompassed with Dicesong’s engaging gameplay.

The Dream

Dicesongs has been a lifetime pursuit for me. The innovative Dicesongs system offers newcomers to RPGs an introduction to basic concepts like character creation and how to resolve conflicts with fellow players. In contrast, experienced players can use its resources to advance their game. The official website acts not just as a repository for props and resources but also as a platform for spectators and future campaigners in the world of Ertha hidden within Dicesongs’ data. Its posts occasionally feature characters from this world engaging others with puzzles that bring it all to life; plus, it’s compatible with all popular RPGs presently available – making The Dream of Dicesongs an accessible reality.

The greatest secret:

Dice do not run the story!

Non-playing characters

NPCs are key in generating the lifelike atmosphere found in role-playing games. NPCs add character to an otherwise empty landscape and provide a multitude of side quests for the player to explore, giving insight into the game world’s mysteries and characters. NPCs may also be deceptive and challenge players to view their decisions differently. Villains, monsters, antagonists — whatever you want to call them — dive deep into the narrative, placing suspense and danger on every corner while offering something worth rooting against. They’re essential in providing a lively role-playing experience; without them, RPGs lack direction and structure. NPCs, villains, and monsters all play their part in creating an exciting, vibrant story that keeps us coming back for more! NPCs, villains, and monsters shape the story and create a robust environment for those playing the game, making any RPG a truly enjoyable experience!
