These are the rules of the Dominus system.

Rule 1: Preparation

fil
Choose (or roll) an Archetype from the table and name your character. Then roll a die for each of
the three columns in the Plot table.

Rule 2: Story
To start your story, choose (or roll) a Place in the Scenes table. Whenever you enter a Scene, roll
a die. If it roll 3 or less, roll a Character. If you roll 4 or more, roll an Event. You can move to a new
scene if you see fit (and have resolved any apparent conflicts).

Rule 3: Challenge
Whenever your character tries to do something that could go wrong, you have a Challenge: roll a

e
die. If you roll 4 or more, you've managed to beat him. If there is something in this situation that
gives you an advantage in this Challenge, roll 2 dice and choose the highest result. If something
disadvantages you, roll 2 dice and choose the smallest result.

pl
Rule 4: Dilemma
Whenever you have a question whose answer is not obvious, determine two possible options
(yes or no, left or right, happens A or happens B etc) and roll a die. Result 3 or less is the first
option, and result 4 or more is the second option.

Rule 5: idea Bank

Whenever you need to better elaborate a Place, Character or Event, roll in the Bank of Ideas and
m
interpret the result of any column according to the Scenario.
