d4-d4 Main Book

Generic just got interesting! The game you want - where generic system does not mean bland! We kill bland and take its stuff! Then get bored and take something else's interesting stuff! We are a violent generic engine! This is the system Ninjas fear!

Okay, maybe we're hamming it up a bit.

d4-d4 is a roleplaying system best suited to the sorts of games people play: realistic in flavor, with short campaigns friendly to newbies.

A die roll of two four-sided dice, the one subtracted from the other and added to a Trait, and compared to a Difficulty level, resolves most actions. Traits are rated with a description, so that you can say, "Djim is an Outstanding Cook," or "Jane is a Middling Swimmer." From that, you get a performance from Crap to Famous.

The system is designed to allow a range of game styles, from Hack to Thesp. Not only do some Traits compliment one another - so your Excellent Physics can help your Middling Engineering - but personality aspects help, too. This encourages you to bring the character's personality out.

d4-d4. Pyramid versus pyramid, just like ancient Egypt only better. 

Conflict, and A Person's Place In It

This is a discussion of the different aspects of conflicts, and roleplaying in them. It tells us that killing is not an easy thing to do in reality, yet people and societies do it, because it's part of conflicts.

Conflict makes up a significant part of the stories presented in film, literature, and roleplaying games. At times, violence is presented as a resolution of this conflict.

You're not going to be able to run adventures directly out of this. But what it does do is give you some things to think about for some "realistic" roleplaying, and GMing of "realistic" game worlds.
