Saikoro Fiction

Saikoro Fiction (Template:Lang-ja, lit. "Dice Fiction"; abbreviated "SF") is a Japanese role-playing game universal system developed by Touichirou Kawasima and presented by Adventure Planning Service (Bouken Kikaku-Kyoku).

Core mechanics

Saikoro Fiction needs one or more six-sided dice to play. The character sheets for each game, which are controlled by the Saikoro Fiction system, have a "Skill table" for judgment roll. The Skill table is made from 6 attributes, each of this have 11 skills, with a gap between each attribute( so the sheet has a total of 66 skills, one in each cell). Different game systems have different skill tables, and no one can change the contents in the table. For example, the coordinates of "Death" is 6-12 in "Magicalogia", but 6-5 in "inSANe". For a better understanding, a fictitious table for the purpose of explanation is given below. The adjoining cell is mostly a relationship skill (word).

	1:Strength	A	2:Dexterity	B	3:Educate	C	4:Guessingly	D	5:Constitution	E	6:Charisma
2	Lifting		Secrecy		Zoology		Discovery		Drug Tolerance		Bluff
3	Grip		Stealth		Botany		Searching		Defense		Coercion
4	Martial Arts		Lock Picking		Architectonics		Crisis Perception		Patience		Temptation
5	Destruction		Removing		Language		Reasoning		Paralysis Tolerance		Negotiation
6	Throwing		Slashing		Physics		Observation		Health		Inspiration
7	Climbing		Stabbing		chemistry		Fathom		Survival		Faith
8	Transportation		Juggling		Occultism		Diagnosis		Diving		Art
9	Jump		Sleight		Strategy		Listen		Suffocation		Empathy
10	Sprint		Avoidance		Economics		Lip Reading		Hunger		Pray
11	Armor		Parry		Politics		Tracking		Recovery		Speech
12	Digging		Escape		Geoscience		Tailing		Long-distance Running		Domination

When the player makes a playable character, they select the player character's "Strong Skill" (特技) according to the rules of the game. In some cases, the player can fill out the gaps in the table. In the above case, the parts highlighted in black indicate the player character's Strong Skills, and Gap D is filled.

When a character makes a judgment roll in this system, the Gamemaster designates an "Assignment skill" (指定特技). If the Assignment skill is the same as the player character's Strong Skill, the target number for roll success is 5. Players have to roll over the target number on 2d6 and get the total number as more than or equal to the target number to succeed in the judgment role. When the Assignment skill is different from the Strong skill, count Skill table cell from the nearest Strong skill, and add the cell numbers to 5 is the target number. Incidentally, the skills table may usually not have joined attribute 6 to attribute 1, and cell 12 to cell 2. For example, the target number of the above table, "Domination" is 7, "Recovery" is 8, and "Paralysis tolerance" is 7. The Skill table's coordinates use to randomize an Assignment skill.

This system's game is session is proceeded under the "Scene system" (ja) (cf.Standard RPG System#Scene system).
