Flip - Disgustingly Simple Live-Action Role-Playing

Have you ever been enjoying a high quality LARP experience, plotting and scheming your black little heart out, and then everything gets dragged to a screeching halt by... The Rules?! This is a particularly acute problem for games with combat, where a fight that flashes past in 30 seconds for the character can take an hour or more to resolve out-of-character, depending on your rules system.

Well, Flip is here to make sure that never happens again! Flip is a fast, simple LARP system that uses abstract character Traits and a coin flipping mechanic to resolve actions in as quickly and intuitively as possible. Character creation is a breeze and newbies can learn the ropes in five minutes or less. Check out the basic rules in, oddly enough, the "Rules" page.

This website also contains articles that elaborate on the rules and offer GM advice, online Resources for enhancing your Flip games, and a Miscellany of other useful items. Use the upside-down links at the top of the page to navigate between sections; they'll flip over when you point your mouse at them.
