Attributes, Powers, Problems and Skills let you create a character in seconds! There is no "pope of the gaming table", only a player telling a story. And if people want to keep going with that story, that's great. But in WHITEFRANK all the players can take turns telling parts of the story, or playing the bad guys, or whatever the playing group decides. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses in real life and WHITEFRANK is about cooperative play. Sure, you can go on a dungeon bashing adventure or play out a very serious story. But overall, everyone playing should be contributing even when one player has the central function of telling the story. Gaming is meant to be fun! Make no mistake though-- WHITEFRANK provides hundreds of (useful) charts and rules, so that all the answers when someone is running a game are driven by questions players ask and action in the story. Why bother with rules you never use? Use charts that will be in play CONSTANTLY.
Every kind of class for every kind of quest and background - from Princesses, Knights, Dragon Maidens and Dragons to Rabbits, Dogs and Bears to Lizard-Men, Monks, Thieves and Hedge Wizards -- and so many more! And adding more classes, in whatever setting, genre, or as in the original Minnesota game days, a mix of several or a historical recreation-- is very easy indeed. Because there are no statistics but LOTS of modifiers to the basic rolls in the game, nothing stops the story and creating new characters, either faithfully recreating something or coming up with something unique if not bizarre - is easy! All part of the fun!
Role-playing games began with some borrowed maps, some scrap paper and pencils, and a free flowing anything goes fun attitude focused on the story, character interactions, and expanding the world one story at a time. WHITEFRANK lets you do that perfectly. Or, as is more common in the later stages of Role-Playing Games as an organised hobby, a player can create a city, a kingdom, a world, a planetary colony, a huge spaceship or a dream-world... And aim to run an ongoing campaign. The single biggest advantage to WHITEFRANK is that it is extremely quick to create new characters that feel alive and engage the mind, allowing the story and the world to be developed fast. It is also easy to port over supplements, worlds and of course maps from any other game or story that you like. Because there is no long roll up of statistics which often only prevent someone from playing what they want, your character can be landing in the world in SECONDS. Minutes, at most :)
The central game mechanic is simple, able to be learned by gamers from 4 to 400 and allows infinite complexity to be added above it -- but nothing gets in the way of the story, the role-playing, and the fun! This role-playing game encourages, authorises, goes out of its way-- to tell all of you as players to decide on your own mechanics and rules to make your WHITEFRANK stories unique!
WHITEFRANK will continue to publish sourcebooks, rulebooks, Living Challenge ("monsters" - but so much more) and variant books, to help players tell stories in any genre, or no particular genre! Sometimes the most fun comes from crossovers, mixtures and free-for-alls. Adventure modules will provide smaller stories playable in a day or two, but anything can spark interest and lead to years of gaming! That is how it all began, after all...
WHITEFRANK also allows fully endorsed third party products to be published. If you have an idea for anything that you would like to publish under the WHITEFRANK system, let us know at submissions@whitefrank.com

FALLING INTO INFINITY. Falling Into Infinity is a hard science fiction sourcebook that combines the trippy out-there psychedelic approach to outer space of the late 1960s to late 1970s with the nuts and bolts of "realistic" space travel. Although there are Faster Than Light (FTL) means of reaching other star systems there are also the harsh mathematical realities of fuel, cargo and explosive decompression. As with all WHITEFRANK game books, the emphasis is on charts, random tables and detailed rules for players to use or ignore as they wish when telling exciting stories about outer space and the wonders to be found "out there"!
