System Table of Contents

These files contain a role-playing system, DCS. The basic framework is complete, but there is no background, and I may still expand sections. Any and all comments are welcome: please email them to me at dc132@cam.ac.uk.

This game is freeware. Download it and use it as you please, if you want to, but I retain the copyright. Please do not put it on any other servers (although including a link to this page is fine, of course), or sell it. If you do distribute it, do so without changing anything, and include all the files (including this one).

All the files, in text format, can be downloaded here. They are stuffed and BinHexed, so you will need Stuffit Expander to read them. This is available for the Mac and Windows, from the usual sites. The file is only 38K: I did say that this was only the basic framework.
