Final step:
Where can I play systemless ?

Systemless RPG has existed all over the world for a long time (let's say the beginning of the 80's). But the fact is: it is often considered as a strange and weird thing. In this page I try to report the situation in each country. It is very hard to get information about that because there is very few websites dedicated to systemless RPG. So if you play systemless, send me a mail and tell me if it is well represented in your country or not.

To find GM and players, you can post in Anthology's forum or look who is in your area in Accessdenied database.

Australia: systemless RPG seems to be widespread in Australia. Many conventions offer systemless scenarios, including the following: Arcanacon (Melbourne), Conquest (Melbourne), Jester Con (Launceston), and Necromicon (Sydney).

New Zealand: the situation seems to be similar to Australia's one. Buckets of Dice in Christchurch, and AMERICA's Cup in Auckland offer systemless RPG.

France: systemless RPG seems to be rare. The (almost) only one convention with systemless RPG takes place is Toulouse, but the interesting thing is there is almost only systemless RPG there !!!...

Germany: although the country gave us Daidalos and Heritage, systemless RPG seems to be rare there.

Denmark: systemless RPG seems to be common there. Many scenarios of the Fastaval in Aarhus and Viking-Con (Copenhagen) are systemless.

Italy: systemless RPG is rare there, but not absent. In fact systemlee RPG is more live action than tabletop oriented. Check this link about freeform RPG in Italian: gdr.net/lollo/

Sweden: I've heard one rumour suggesting than systemless RPG is widespread. Can anybody confirm or deny that ?

USA, UK and Ireland: I haven't found any convention with systemless [table-top] RPG. Mail me if you know more.

Israel: I have received a feedback from a GM in Israel who plays systemless. So it's there too !

this is a zero-profit site, don't steal my work!
