About the Freeform GM resources
Flexible character profiles for forum RP and play-by-post. No mechanical stats - pure storytelling.
Freeform / Custom is an open, table-defined tone and genre. Prose-first profiles, relationships and journals, no stats required.
Resolution follows your table's chosen system: declare what your character attempts, make the roll your rules call for, and apply the outcome to the fiction and the sheet. The roll flow has 3 steps: Declare intent and stakes. Make the roll your system's core mechanic calls for. Apply consequences and record changes on the sheet.
This page collects resources for running Freeform / Custom. It links to 6 GM topics written for this game, starting with the session zero guide.
How to use this page
- Start with session zero, then pick the topic that matches your next session. Each topic is short enough to read while prepping a Freeform / Custom scene.
- Open the Freeform dice roller when a rule asks for a roll, so the result follows the same mechanic described above.
- Track what changes on your Freeform character sheet, which supports 3 creation modes, so the next session starts from the current state.
- Move to a sibling page when the question changes: quickstart, rules reference, glossary, or advancement guide. Each one is built from the same Freeform data, so terms and numbers match across pages.
- Return to the Freeform / Custom guide for the full overview, including character creation and every tool for this game.
Nothing on this page replaces the published Freeform / Custom rulebook. It is a working reference for the table: short summaries of the 6 GM topics listed here, plus links to the tools that act on them.
