Kaleidoscope is a new roleplaying game system using semi-abstract design methods and modular setting options to provide a unique fun experience for both players and Game Managers (GMs) who are interested in exploring new ideas & possibilities.

Kaleidoscope offers three methods of character creation (constructed, template and random) so you can choose how much time, risk and control you want in making your characters.

It uses only a pair of ten sided (aka d10) dice to determine all task resolution and combat resolution situations. All rolls are open ended, so that the system can handle a wide range of genres, settings, and scale differences without complex mathematics.

You won't need dozens of books or have to read thousands of pages to learn the system as a player, as it is designed for both long term campaigns and short convention-style scenario play.

You can download everything you need to play right here from the website for *FREE*. You will need the version 5 acrobat pdf reader to read these files properly.

Note: Development on Kaleidoscope ended after it's initial long term playtest in 2002, as it failed to serve the needs of my own roleplaying group. It just prooved too abstract for some people, and the dice mechanic was too unrealistic in some results to be playable for some folks' ideas of realism. No further development is planned.
