# RPGless
RPGless is a tabletop role-playing game with no tables, no roles, and no playing.
## Setting
RPGless is a great fit for settings that lack a time period and a genre.
## Tools
No dice, paper, maps, miniatures, candles, bears, or Jenga towers are needed to play.
## Virtual tabletops
Any virtual tabletop can be used to run RPGless, provided you don't visit the site and don't log in.
## Getting started
To begin, don't gather around a table or join a call. Don't tell a story with your friends. Don't laugh together, become closer than ever, and explore your deepest fears. Don't participate in humanity's oldest social tradition.
Don't realize that simple pleasures like warmth, togetherness, kindness, and fun are the purpose of life.
## Rules
The rules of RPGless are incredibly simple. In fact, you've already memorized them.
**Character creation:** Characters don't exist.
**Combat:** Instead of fighting, don't.
**Task resolution:** Tasks are never attempted and can't succeed or fail.
## Compatibility
RPGless is:
- Compatible with the fifth edition of the world's most popular role-playing game
- Pathfinder Compatible
- Compatible with the Cypher System
- Powered by the Apocalypse
## License
Independent settings, rulesets, adventures, character options, and software tools ("modules") may be created using any or all content from the RPGless System Reference Document (SRD) as long as they abide by the following restrictions:
1. Wherever the module lists legal or copyright information, it must include the phrase "".
2. The module must not state or insinuate that any setting, ruleset, adventure, character option, or software tool can be used to play the game.
3. The module must not exist.
