Not The End

Claudio Pustorino is the Fumble Gdr game designer who created Not The End, an Italian-made role-playing game. The game leaves full freedom for players and masters to choose what the background of their adventure will be, because it doesn’t have a setting. There risk management is the basis of the game mechanism: the characters are voluntarily exposed to risky situations, because in this way they obtain important benefits. From these situations, however, our heroes will emerge profoundly changed both in personality and in the values ​​in which they believe. As a game system, Pustorino has chosen tokens randomly extracted from a bag, instead of the usual dice.
