Toss the dice: A review of diceless sci-fi RPG Bounty Hunter

June 13, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve run quite a few scenes with the Bounty Hunter system, and they’ve worked very well. It’s especially strong over Discord, as the lack of dice and barely any mathematics means all your attention can be on the players and the game.
