RULES


[IMAGE: An unfair fight] The rules of ABN are based on the rule changes made by the Atlanta Interactive Theatre to the Mind's Eye Theatre Rules produced by the White Wolf Game Studio. Our rules have had many, many authors and contributors. All parties retain what ever appropriate legal right. Use of any of White Wolf Game Systems copyrights is not a challenge to those copyrights. These rules may not be used without permission of AIT or ABN. As always, please remember that this is just a game and simply fiction.

Super simplified Game Basics: For those who have not roleplayed.
You (the player) pretend to be a creature. You are given (normally you write it out yourself) a character sheet with all sorts of statistics about how strong and what powers your character (the creature) possesses. You use the sheet as a guideline for playing the role of this beast (hence role-playing). You interact with others of your kind, and some who are not. Most of the gameplay is simple verbal interaction with some moving about for realism. Sometimes, the conversation leads us to the heat of battle. To do so, you test your might (be it brains, brawn, or glamour) against his in combat. 
ABN's combat system is "battled out" with the age-old game "rock-paper-scissors." The rules indicate what the "RPS" game's outcome stands for. Someone wins, someone loses that challenge. This is much like "rolling dice" for an outcome, but dice in a live-action environment is cumbersome. 

Still confused? Come to a game, we'll gladly show you the ropes. If you'd like to know more immediately,
