Introduction

The Modular Adventure Role-playing System or MARS-fork is a generic role-playing system. One player (the Game Master or GM) describes the events that occur, while the other players (the characters) describe the actions they take. Difficult actions may require dice rolls to determine their success, with some tasks being more difficult than others. Many roleplaying games typically use dice notation to describe what dice to roll, while MARS uses a modified version of dice notation called roll value. MARS can be played in various genres, and has optional variant rules to suit your group's playstyle.
