Description:

The Fools. Copyright John Morrice 2010.

The fools is an example mod for CARPS.

The Fools is distributed for educational purposes: it is intended to be used by programmers, as an aid in learning how to write mods for CARPS.

The Fools is loosely based on the rules of the Drones RPG: www.granta.demon.co.uk/drones/

The Drones is Copyright Ian Crowther, Sheila Thomas, Victoria Uren 1995-1996

You should familiarise yourself with the rules before play, though note the following differences present in Fools:

Your character points are present on the character sheet. These are your total character points, rather than the points you have not yet spent available.

Hence you should NOT reduce this value when you spend a point.

As in the Fools rules, you should expect the Game Master to tell you how many points you have available before the game begins.
Two additional character attributes are added: Intoxication and Discomfiture. These attributes are to keep track of the transitory nature of drunkenness and being the subject of A Sound Drubbing, respectively.

These values range from 0 to -10. 0 indicates sobreity or perfect health, while -10 represents a highly debilated state.
