History TabletopGame / AmberDicelessRoleplaying

* PoisonIsCorrosive: ''TabletopGame/Shadow Knight'' supplement

* CharacterAlignment / RandomNumberGod: Averted: the system has no alignments (but see LaserGuidedKarma below) and no dice.

Rite Publishing funded a game called ''TabletopGame/LordsOfGossamerAndShadow'' through ''Website/{{Kickstarter}}'' based on the ''Amber'' system. Another book, ''TabletopGame/LordsOfOlympus'', based on a version of the same system, was released by Precis Intermedia as well.

As the name indicates, this game focuses more on relationships and roleplaying than number-crunching. Most characters are members of the two ruling classes in the ''Amber'' multiverse, and due to their extraordinary abilities the only individials who are capable of opposing a character are often from his or her own family. The setting assumes the {{Game Master}}s will set their campaigns after the Patternfall war--that is, after the ''Corwyn Cycle'' of novels--and that the player characters will be children of the ruling family of Amber or a resident of the Courts.

* BodyHorror: Players are warned going in that the more extreme forms of Shape Shifting can lead to a "personal horror story." And the rules go on to list several very useful applications of the power... and what happens when the user goes too far.

* {{Magitek}}: Played with. Each universe has its own rules of physics and of metaphysics: some Shadows are both high-tech and high-magic. Unfortunately, the more elaborate a magical or technological object is, the more strongly it relies on the 'rules' of the reality where it was designed. {{Magitek}} objects, since they're reliant on both, tend to be [[AwesomeButImpractical devastating on their home turf, and useless anywhere else.]]

* MultipleChoicePast: The major characters from the ''Chronicles'' are presented with three or four stat blocks: this effectively prevents even a player who's read the rulebooks from knowing that {{NPC}}'s true abilities or motivations.

* PointBuildSystem: In an unusual twist to this, purchasing allies, artifacts, personal universes, and cosmic powers used a set scale, but purchasing attributes put the player in direct competition with the other players via and auction.

* TheTopicOfCancer: If characters with Shape Shifting push themselves beyond their limits while suffering from exhaustion or starvation, they can suffer from Primal Chaos Cancer. Some of their cells run wild, consuming normal cells and multiplying quickly. The rogue cells will eventually attack vital organs, appear on the skin and eat the character alive, turning him into an amorphous blob. [[AndIMustScream This is not necessarily fatal.]]

* ProperlyParanoid: Most of the game involves scheming against your fellow players to a degree second only to ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'' itself. This quality also ensures that none of the PCs have a chance of defeating any of the characters from the source novels, as they've been at this game longer than the PCs.
