The First Rule
Reloaded does not exist. It never existed. It willnever exist. The same goes for Revolutions.Likewise for any animated films you might haveheard of, and any other derivative products. If a player mentions any of these, the GM isallowed to smack them in the face.
Corollary to the First Rule
THERE IS NO SPOON can only be used for one-shots or micro-campaigns - ie movielength stories. If you attempt to use this gamefor extended campaign play, the designer isallowed to smack you in the face.
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to THERE IS NO SPOON, a Matrix RPG designed by me onthe bus one day. Let's hear it for public transport - it frees the mind. If labels interest you, it could be labelled a very rules-light system, with acinematic feel. I hope you enjoy it.
