BONES: The Customizable Dice RPG by Pipe Dream Games is an RPG for people who love dice. Although, BONES is a full-featured RPG that any fan of the genre can sink their
teeth into, its main goal is to put the 'Game' back into Role-Playing Games. It's a goal that I feel it accompishes very well.
It was a lot of fun to create this program to help players and game masters manage their dice.
