What is it about?
Fudge lets groups build games in different genres from a common rules foundation. Rather than defining a character solely through levels, it emphasizes descriptive ability ratings. The basic rules do not prescribe a campaign world, allowing them to support original settings or worlds from other games.
02
At the table
Participants agree on characters and abilities with the referee. Actions and combat use descriptive ratings together with the resolution rules selected for their particular game.
