Community Codex Adaptive RolePlay System v1.0.0-rc3
What is CCARPS?
Community Codex Adaptive RolePlay System, often referred to as its acronym, “CCARPS”, is an open source ruleset licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike. This system has been developed to promote storytelling within a minimal ruleset. We believe that the game should be about the characters so the rules shouldn’t get in the way of the story. This is a Community Codex; players and developers alike can actively participate in the shaping and refinement of this rule system. It is adaptive; the base rules are meant to be a generic starting point that can support any style of gameplay and world. While the main goal is roleplay, the system is built in a character-centric way that can be used to power any type of gameplay that involves tracking player statistics.
While the rules here are complete and you can play as-is, this is just the Base Ruleset. It is meant to be used alongside an existing game world and/or campaign. This means that we have not included any game content within these pages.
