“Play fulfills its purpose only if the player loses himself in play. Seriousness in playing is not opposed to play but is essential to it.”
— Hans-Georg Gadamer
Play your next table roleplay with Frame
Narrative Focus
Frame is about who’s at the table, not what’s on it. It prioritizes narrative and character development over complex mechanics, ensuring that every decision and action contributes to a rich, immersive story. This makes it an ideal choice for players who value storytelling.
Universal Tag System
There are no character sheets in Frame. Instead, we use online or physical notebooks and the Unified Tag Language (UTL), which transforms game mechanics into storytelling while seamlessly enhancing character development.
Minimalist Design
Rooted in minimalism, Frame challenges conventional methods by offering innovative ways to enrich the role-playing experience. It fosters intuitive narrative gameplay without sacrificing the essence of what a role-playing game can be.
Follow the Loop
Frame uses a loop system that adapts to your needs, integrating meta, macro, and micro loops. The meta covers what happens outside the game, the macro guides how the leader drives the narrative, and the micro handles dice rolls, tags and actions.
Applied Gaming
Frame is designed to be both personal and professional, adapting easily to various playstyles and group dynamics. Whether you're exploring deep personal narratives or conducting professional sessions, Frame's flexibility makes it suitable for any context.
Flexible Framework
Frame offers a highly adaptable structure, allowing you to customize rules and settings to fit your specific needs. This flexibility provides endless possibilities for creating unique gameplay experiences tailored to any style.
Use in different contexts
Personal Roleplay with Friends
Frame is at its heart about sitting down with friends and telling stories together. Instead of reading or watching a story, you make one yourselves — full of choices, consequences, and surprises. It’s a way to spend time together that is playful, creative, and engaging. Every game becomes a shared adventure, where laughter, tension, and imagination mix into something unique.
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
— George Bernard Shaw
Professional Applied Roleplay
Frame is equally powerful in applied contexts. It can be used in education, therapy, coaching, or organizational development to foster dialogue, empathy, and learning. Through structured improvisation, participants practice communication, rehearse real-life scenarios, and gain new perspectives — all within the safety of play.
