# WaRP System SRD tags: #game/rpg/warp ![[WaRP (Logo) - Atlas Games.png]] ## Summary The **WaRP System SRD** (Wanton Role-Playing System System Reference Document) is essentially the stripped-down ruleset from the game **Over the Edge**, minus all the setting-specific content. Released under an open license by **Atlas Games** in 2012, it's a minimalist system that's as barebones as a skeleton in a thrift store mannequin display. ## Core Die Resolution Mechanics In the WaRP System, actions are resolved by rolling a number of six-sided dice (d6) based on a character's traits. Each character has one central trait, two side traits, and a flaw, each associated with a specific number of dice. You roll the dice and compare the result to a difficulty factor to determine success or failure. It's like rolling for a job interview, but instead of a job, you're trying to survive a surreal adventure. ## Editions and Changes The WaRP System SRD has only one edition, the **WaRP System Package / System Reference Document eBook** released in 2012. There haven't been any significant changes or updates since its initial release, making it a time capsule of simplicity in the RPG world. ## References - [The Wanton Role-Playing (WaRP) System - RPGnet RPG Game Index](https://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=19140) - [Why don't more people use the WaRP system? : r/rpg - Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/4t06wi/why_dont_more_people_use_the_warp_system/) - [WaRP System Reference Document v. 1.0 WaRP System - the-eye.eu](https://the-eye.eu/public/Books/rpg.rem.uz/Over%20the%20Edge%20%282ed%29/WaRP%20System%20Package/WaRP-OGL%26SRD.pdf) - [WaRP | System - RPGGeek](https://rpggeek.com/rpgsystem/20276/warp)
