Yes, these are various RPG system forms.
- A generic role-playing game system is independent of the setting and genre of the game. The rules and regulations will work the same way as for any setting that you would want to play. All you have to do is purchase and learn from one main rule book; if you do this it will help you save time and money.
- There are game systems depicting a particular genre or style of play. Example of this RPG is Dungeons and Dragons.
- There are also systems that are not genre-specific yet come bundled with a particular campaign setting such as the RuneQuest.
- The D6 system is one of the popular role-playing game systems using a 6-sided die to determine the attributes or raw abilities of a game character in a certain area. The D6 game system represents six main attributes; 3 of which represent physical characteristics (Physique, Coordination, and Reflexes) and the other 3 represents mental characteristics (Knowledge, Perception, and Presence).
In all RPG systems, a GM or game master is required. The GM commonly creates a setting for various game sessions to depict most of its inhabitants, and act as a rule arbitrator for players. All the other game participants are within the control of a GM are the player characters, which may collectively form a “party”. The game master will create a story goal for the players to fulfill through the actions of their in-game characters. This must involve interaction with NPCs (non-player characters), other occupants of the game world commonly played by the GM, puzzle-solving, combats, and negotiations.
