The Amar Role-Playing Game

Amar cover

This is the site of the Amar RPG. The game is the result of more than 32 years of development and play testing. Its forerunner, "The Mega Role-Playing system (fantasy edition)" was published in the UK in 1987 and aimed to be the most realistic RPG. Target audience was seasoned RPG players. An RPG simulating real life was bound to be quite complicated and thus cumbersome. The developers (Geir Isene and Bent Brakas) decided to cut down and simplify the rule system.

While still maintaining a high degree of realism, the rules were simplified and simplified and simplified. Until the rules themselves were only a small fraction of Mega. The system is now one of the simplest and most realistic around. The Amar RPG uses only a 6 sided dice (D6) for determining outcomes of risky events. It is easily learned by the games master in an evening. The players catch on in an hour or two. No sweat. Just pure role-playing fun.

On this site you will find the complete game system as well as information on The Kingdom of Amar. You will also find online character and random encounter generators - tools the Game Master will find highly useful.
