BEAN! The D2 Role-Playing Game from Fabled
Worlds is a unique rules-lite system that's perfect
for all kinds of gaming sessions. It's quick
so you can jump right into a game when you don't
have the time to create anything super in-depth,
but it works just as well for on-going campaigns. It's
also a great system to introduce first timers to the
wonders of Role Playing Games! And did we
mention you play it with beans?

So just what is a "D2" RPG?
It's a Role-Playing Game that uses D2
(2 sided dice) instead of the standard
polyhedral dice ("many sided" dice such
as 20, or even the standard 6 sided
dice) in its game mechanics.

Isn't playing with D2 basically just
flipping a coin?
It is, and you can use anything that has
two distinct sides so that you can tell if
you've rolled heads or tails, + or -, 1 or
0, but in this game we use beans! The
number of beans used in various
circumstances creates a sliding scale
and that bell curve that classic RPGs
are so fond of.

Why beans?
Beans roll easier than coins, they're
cheap and plentiful, there's something
kind of satisfying about tossin' around a
handful of beans when you're fighting
imaginary monsters, and it's easy to
create your own customized beans.

Um, ok, but really, why beans?
The Fabled Worlds game system is a
quick and easy system to learn, and is
adaptable to any genre. The mechanics
of BEAN! are so quick, so simple, and
so consistent that they only require one
kind of dice. We decided upon the D2
because...well, to be perfectly honest
there's just a whole lot less math
involved with this D2 system than with
anything else out there. There, are you
happy? Good, now let's play!

The rules-lite Character Sheets are
small enough to double as stand-up
tokens when needed. Notice the custom
beans with one side marked to
represent "heads" or "+", and the other
left blank.

beans have easy to
read + and - signs
and are preserved
beneath a coating
of clear nail polish.
These beans mean
business!
