DCS System
These files contain a role-playing system, DCS. The basic framework
is complete, but there is no background, and I may still expand
sections. Any and all comments are welcome: please email them to me
at david@davidchart.com.
I have also written a number of roleplaying books. These are not free, but if you like DCS you might find them interesting.
This game is freeware. Download it and use it as you please, if
you want to, but I retain the copyright. Please do not put it on
any other servers (although including a link to this page is fine,
of course), or sell it. If you do distribute it, do so without
changing anything, and include all the files (including this
one).

All the files, in text format, can be downloaded here. They are stuffed and BinHexed, so you
will need Stuffit Expander to read them. This is available for the
Mac and Windows, from the usual sites. The file is only 38K: I did
say that this was only the basic framework.
