Rope is a generic role-playing game, that started as a modification of the Bushido RPG Core rules. I have heavily extended and expanded the basic Bushido rules. Magic is totally rewritten. I added a new stat, changes skill resolution, added racial stat modifiers, and more. In addition the system is now generic, so you can play any genre you want. I've now started working on changing the core engine to use Fudge instead of the custom one I had build based on Bushido. A last version of old Rope is available below, should anyone want it.

Edition 2009.08 This is the last edition which uses the old engine. All further editions will be based on the Fudge engine. I ran with this edition in Ropecon 2009.
