Lore 100 and the Lore System Basic Info and Links
Post Body

Lore System was first used in Rational Magic. Lore 100 System was first used in The Camlann Chronicles. That being said, Lore Sheets - the core "mechanic" of these systems - was first used in the Sassoon Files.

Lore Sheets are basically just hand-outs that may include settings information or character backstory. They have the ability to be "Tapped" to gain a quantitative or qualitative advantage during play, thus "mechanizing" story elements. This sub-system allows the GM to convey special non standard genre information to the players without the players needing to read a whole book before play begins. We used this for The Sassoon Files because not many Western players have knowledge about 1920s Shanghai; Lore Sheets were used to bring players up-to-speed without requiring a history lesson before play begins. Lore Sheets also provide a way for players to add to world setting in-between game sessions.

The Lore System and the Lore 100 System, published by [Sons of the Singularity](sonsofthesingularity.com), are available on DTRPG, for free. These systems were developed to help GMs quickly introduce novel campaign settings to players, as well as introduce collaborative world setting development that takes place between game sessions.

The Lore System will give you a fast and meaningful role playing experience tying a character’s backstory and development to the game world. It was developed by looking at some of the best features of such games as FATE, GUMSHOE, Barbarians of Lemuria, and Microlite20.

The Lore 100 System combines the intuitiveness and speed of traditional d100 games (like Mongoose's Legend or Open Quest) with free-form and investigative elements found in GUMSHOE games.

Both systems are available for developers for free; game systems cannot be copyrighted, but Sons of the Singularity has made use of it's trademark available under the Singularity True Open Game License.

For more information on the Lore System, including links to SRD documents, see the Lore System page on the Sons of the Singularity website.
