The first "baby" has come back at home!

...and the first "manuscript" of the VI·VIII·X KUP RPG core rules arrived back at home!

I have to say a huge THANKS to Carl who did this "dirt job" for me on a pure friendship base!


I am glad to see not too many "errors" (well actually I spotted some errors I should not have done!) and I am delighted by the spirit Carl had while doing this "dirt job"! I found scattered in the document some really funny comments that I am still laughing now when I think at them! Here below one of them:


Now I have to update the book and once done apply some final changes... there's one in particular which I will detail in a separate post (btw I have already written about this idea, here).

I am sorry if in this period I had no time to post anything... family and work got me stuck on the last post of end of August... but things are moving, I will be ready soon! I really look forward to publish my work!

The concept of KUP RPG (part 1)

As promised, let us focus on an oustanding detail of my project: the KUP RPG.  Several years ago I started thinking of a game model where only the GM uses the dice and makes any action required to determine the events of the game. I talked about this idea with a friend who convinced me that this would have been a failure for sure in terms of interest and playability. I must admit that the discussion didn't last so much: the explanation he gave was solid... Gamers want to toss dice and ideally make 20! That's one of the keys for the success of the RPGs! I then set aside this idea and tried to elaborate something different which brings to the same result and found a solution that now I call KUP: Keep Uneducated Players. Before any further detail I need to explain the reasons that led me to rethink the current game model: one (and it is not the only!) aspect I dislike is the complete disclosure of any detail of the game mechanics to the players. First of all if you look at a moder...

The concept of KUP RPG (part 2)

Once it is clear the background, my vision and the main idea, let us try to figure out some more details of the KUP model. The first main feature is that the rules are for GMs only. They need to learn and use them: I wrote "use" and not "apply"; despite the fact that in the majority of the traditional RPGs the "rule 0" is invoked (i.e. the rules in the book are subject to changes upon decision of the GM), I have tried to leave the rules open to the application of the GM (whenever it is possible of course). Therefore the GM has to learn the rules and then define how he wants to use them. The players do not need (or better have not to) read the rules, in particular those referred to the game mechanics. The second main feature is that some rules work on pieces of information that are known to the GM only; among these you can find that even some PC stats are not known to the players, they do not need to know these info (I called these unknown stats US, the acr...

Changing of the guard

After one year and a couple of weeks of life of this blog, I decided to move the pages of my game on a different platform. This doesn't mean I was not happy with the current set-up, I just want to see if a new tool works better in terms of communication compared to the 'old' blog pages. This page won't be in any case deleted, I will keep it still up for historical and affective reasons! The new page of VI·VIII·X KUP RPG is the following one:  https://viviiix.substack.com/ You can join it and subscribe: you can still read it as a blog and, by subscribing, you will get any update as a newsletter. This is truly effective to my eyes! See you on the other page! Ciaoo
