Introduction :
What is systemless RPG ?

We certainly don't want to hint that systemless RPG is something new or very different from classic RPG. Many gamers play RPG in a freeform way, which means that they play with a ligth-system RPGs, or that they don't really care to the rules. But there is a step to take: to decide that there is no (explicit) rule.

"Systemless RPG is a way of playing where actions are resolved with one and only concern: the good development of the game. GM doesn't ressort to any other rules than the usual rules of the creation of a story (realism, consistency, sense of drame,...), and doesn't roll any dice."

This definition is much more vague than it seems because we have to specify what is "the good development" of the game... but we'll see that later.
