This world is but one of untold many, a flux of chance caught between shadow and light. It is a world poised between great powers that shape and define all matter, one of many battlegrounds in an epic struggle between form and cacophony. The lords and knights in this battle move between realms with impunity: they are the creators, shapers, and destroyers of worlds.

In Lords of Gossamer & Shadow, the player-characters are agents caught up in this immense, multi-dimensional struggle. Born into it, their birthright is one of unimaginable power... and with it great danger! They will bear unique and idiosyncratic magical artifacts, command legions drawn from the myriad of otherworlds, and wield incredible powers that alter the very substance of reality. They are players in a Machiavellian conspiracy with the greatest of stakes, and arrayed against them are the deadliest of foes... each other!

Lords of Gossamer & Shadow (Diceless) is an original sourcebook and roleplaying game using Erick Wujcik's diceless rules system, the same system that powered Amber Diceless Role-Playing. Lords of Gossamer and Shadow will be a standalone product, but is fully compatible with the existing rules system and can be readily used in new and existing campaigns.
Has anyone ever heard of it? Is there interest in playing? I'd be willing to GM or play, depending on the need. I would also be willing to houserule the system so the PCs are Planeswalkers from the Magic: the Gathering universe. The game would be writing intensive, so there wouldn't be word count minimums but you should fancy yourself a writer before committing.

If you're curious, there's a free preview PDF going over the basics of the system and setting. But you probably will need a copy of the PDF or softcover book to get everything out of the game. Reply here or PM me if this sounds like something you'd enjoy!

I'll take a look at the system and add it to my list to add (D&D5e is next). Thanks for joining us!

Never heard of it but I do like me some diceless systems. As for writing intensive I enjoy it but with my hectic life not so sure Ican commit, but will definately consider it. Sounds like the world is similar to The Strange and/or Enter the Shadowside.

I have it and it is a nice system. While it has similarities with Amber Diceless RPG, it is a different enough setting and one of the big changes is characters can be from anywhere and do not need to be members of the same family.
While it does have limitless worlds getting around using stairs is sure to make certain everyone has strong leg muscles.
