A different kind of SRD

This document is not a lite or boiled down version of a game system. It is a toolkit document. This SRD is much like some other modern and indie SRDs in providing the core mechanic and a little bit about the concept and intent. However, it explores more options and has a more conversational tone than normal. 

We walk through the system and various concepts to give you insight into the nature of the system and its modularity. It is intended to be accessible and provide a bit of guidance to new designers. However, the same tone and information is valuable to experienced designers as well, providing insight into our model and the intent of the framework.

Three Starter Game Builds

Now there are 3 starter game builds that are officially part of the Motif SRD and released under its terms! The Lost Road and Dinosaur Wizards In Space present variations of a basic Motif RPG build. Egregores shows the possibilities of extending Motif into storytelling games. You are allowed to use them as references when building your own Motif system, hack and reskin them, borrow their mechanics, create add-ons and expansions for them, and more! 

Explore the Motif Possibilities

Have a look at the Motif Framework and Runs On Motif games. See what we have done so far. Then go forth and take Motif in all new directions! Experiment and explore! See what kinds of things the oracle-based and modular approach can bring to your projects. Add system neutral Motif-powered low prep tools and single player modes to your games. Create entirely new oracle-driven games, whether more traditional or exploring the solo and GM-less spaces. 

Do us a favor and let us know if you use the Motif Toolkit SRD in your projects! 

PDF file sized at half-letter for easy screen-reading and booklet printing.

High res logos for "Runs On Motif Licensed" and "Built Using the Motif Framework" in both light and dark versions are included in a ZIP file in PNG, TIFF, and PSD formats for your use, subject to the terms of the SRD licensing section.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
