ADRPG is a narrative role-playing game written by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Wujcik Eric Wujcik]], based based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Zelazny Roger Zelazny]'s Chronicles of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_%28fictional_realm%29 Amber] and depicting the power struggles between god-like princes of a magical realm, as well as their wars against the enemy realm of Chaos, the ultimate price of which being the control over all of Shadows. That is, the whole of existence.<br /> <br /> In the game, players take the role of such god-like princes and take a part in the royal family's intrigues and squabbles. While the foremost members of this royal family are described at length in both Roger Zelazny's novels and ADRPG, the equally important -- and equally playable -- Courts of Chaos stay unknown and remain to be invented by players and Game-Masters alike, as well as the Courts of Rebma, the Golden Circle, and possible important worlds<br /> <br /> The objective of ''Chaos Diceless'' is to explore possible versions of Chaos and other Courts. Do not expect to find one single canonical official version of Chaos. What you will find here are ideas to be taken, left or adapted. Rumors. Several hypothesis for each place, each organization, each character, each event.

Please prefix any new page with CD:, to avoid confusion with other projects hosted on this Wiki.<br /> <br /> == Guidelines ==<br /> === Objective of the project ===<br /> The objective of this project is not to produce a definitive guide to any place or any population, nor an extension module. Neither is it to produce a compatibility layer between campaigns, nor a collection of campaign logs and NPCs. Rather, as in the original ADRPG, we wish to present well-constructed hypothesis on each place described, based on Roger Zelazny's work whenever that work is available. In particular, each place and each character shall be described (at least) three times, based on three different hypothesis.<br /> <br /> Everything is optional. Worse than that -- everything is inspiration-fodder. Nothing is canonical per se. <br /> <br /> === Extent of the project ===<br /> The original idea of the project is to focus on the Courts of Chaos. Descriptions of other Courts (e.g. Rebma, Kashfa) and places (e.g. The Fountain of Fire, Yggdrasil, Amber City, Corwin's Pattern) are also welcome. Completely invented Courts (e.g. The Empire of the Gleaming Banner, The Court of Ys) have less priority than Courts mentioned in the novels and in the game, but are welcome nonetheless. <br /> <br /> You may introduce new rules, especially new powers. However, the objective of ''Diceless Chaos'' is not to discuss rules, so keep it short.<br /> <br /> === Sources ===<br /> We attempt to stay compliant with all the novels and short stories of the ''Chronicles of Amber'', as well as with the ADRPG book. This is, however, not a strict obligation.<br /> <br /> Where we contradict or ignore them, we should mark this clearly. We accept versions of Chaos based on either first series, second series or short stories, as well as from your imagination, provided they are clearly labelled as such.<br /> <br /> John Betancourt's prequels to the ''Chronicles of Amber'' may also constitute interesting sources. In this project, they are, however, considered less important than Roger Zelazny's work.<br /> <br /> === Quoting ===<br /> <br /> Short quotes of Roger Zelazny's (or other author's) works should be acceptable under most country's laws, provided the work is correctly attributed. Indeed, the usage of such short quotes are encouraged. To the best of our knowledge, there is no commonly-accepted limit to the size and number of such quotes. Use your intelligence to draw boundaries.<br /> <br /> You are also encouraged to invent quotes from non-existing books, so as to provide &quot;in-character&quot; descriptions, provided you attribute these quotes to the appropriate author (i.e. you).<br /> <br /> === Experience of Amber ===<br /> <br /> Having read the ''Chronicles of Amber'' and played ADRPG are not prerequisites but are encouraged. If you have never read the ''Chronicles of Amber'' or played ADRPG and if you have interesting ideas for ''Chaos Diceless'', please consider reading the novels and/or asking for opinions on the [http://www.guardiansorder.com/boards/showthread.php?p=1466 Chaos Diceless organization thread].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Tie-ins ===<br /> <br /> You are encouraged to add links between your contributions and those of others.

However, the objective of ''Diceless Chaos'' is not to discuss rules, so keep it short.<br /> <br /> === Sources ===<br /> We attempt to stay compliant with all the novels and short stories of the ''Chronicles of Amber'', as well as with the ADRPG book. This is, however, not a strict obligation.<br /> <br /> Where we contradict or ignore them, we should mark this clearly. We accept versions of Chaos based on either first series, second series or short stories, as well as from your imagination, provided they are clearly labelled as such.<br /> <br /> John Betancourt's prequels to the ''Chronicles of Amber'' may also constitute interesting sources. In this project, they are, however, considered less important than Roger Zelazny's work.<br /> <br /> === Quoting ===<br /> <br /> Short quotes of Roger Zelazny's (or other author's) works should be acceptable under most country's laws, provided the work is correctly attributed. Indeed, the usage of such short quotes are encouraged. To the best of our knowledge, there is no commonly-accepted limit to the size and number of such quotes. Use your intelligence to draw boundaries.<br /> <br /> You are also encouraged to invent quotes from non-existing books, so as to provide &quot;in-character&quot; descriptions, provided you attribute these quotes to the appropriate author (i.e. you).<br /> <br /> === Experience of Amber ===<br /> <br /> Having read the ''Chronicles of Amber'' and played ADRPG are not prerequisites but are encouraged. If you have never read the ''Chronicles of Amber'' or played ADRPG and if you have interesting ideas for ''Chaos Diceless'', please consider reading the novels and/or asking for opinions on the [http://www.guardiansorder.com/boards/showthread.php?p=1466 Chaos Diceless organization thread].<br /> <br /> <br /> === Tie-ins ===<br /> <br /> You are encouraged to add links between your contributions and those of others. Maybe your NPC and that other NPC are lovers (according to rumors or Merlin's understanding) ? Maybe some battle introduced by another contributor took place, but didn't end as she pretends.<br /> <br /> Be creative !<br /> <br /> == Licenses ==<br /> <br /> All the content of the ''Chaos Diceless'' project is available under two licenses.<br /> * The Attribution-ShareAlike license (see Project:Copyrights), as per the rules of RPGnetWiki.

It was with full certainty as to identity that I raised my eyes to look upon the Courts of Chaos.'' <br /> (Prince Corwin of Amber, ''The Hand of Oberon'')<br /> <br /> [[Image:Diceless_chaos.png|frame|Chaos Diceless]]<br /> <br /> <br /> = About the project =<br /> <br /> ''Chaos Diceless'' is a project related to ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Diceless_Roleplaying Amber Diceless Role-Playing Game]'' (ADRPG). ADRPG is a narrative role-playing game written by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Wujcik Eric Wujcik]], based based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Zelazny Roger Zelazny]'s Chronicles of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_%28fictional_realm%29 Amber] and depicting the power struggles between god-like princes of a magical realm, as well as their wars against the enemy realm of Chaos, the ultimate price of which being the control over all of Shadows. That is, the whole of existence.<br /> <br /> In the game, players take the role of such god-like princes and take a part in the royal family's intrigues and squabbles. While the foremost members of this royal family are described at length in both Roger Zelazny's novels and ADRPG, the equally important -- and equally playable -- Courts of Chaos stay unknown and remain to be invented by players and Game-Masters alike, as well as the Courts of Rebma, the Golden Circle, and possible important worlds<br /> <br /> The objective of ''Chaos Diceless'' is to explore possible versions of Chaos and other Courts. Do not expect to find one single canonical official version of Chaos. What you will find here are ideas to be taken, left or adapted. Rumors.
