Game System: Difference between revisions

'''Game System''' is a [[Role-Playing Game]] term. It refers to the set of rules that regulate gameplay and simulate actions that can be performed by the game's characters. The purpose of a game system is to avoid the "Cops and Robbers" problem—when one player can say "Bang, I shot you!" and the other can say "No you didn't, I dodged so you missed!", no meaningful progress can be made. What a '''Game System''' does is set down rules for how well the players can shoot and dodge (among other things), so everyone can agree on what actually happened. Given the sheer number of things that a player might attempt in a [[Role-Playing Game]], '''Game Systems''' can be correspondingly complex.
