10 Years of -U- the Game of Stories

In 2009, we released our first RPG: -U- the Game of Stories. That started A'n'SR -entertainments (now AnSR Games). As we gear up to launch a line of U 3rd Edition (U3) RPGs, we are retiring the Classic -U- books. Celebrate a great game with a new 10 Years bundle and a look back.

The 10 Years Bundle

With 10 years of a game, we've had a chance to make a few supplements. You can now get all the Classic -U- RPG books at one low bundle price from DriveThruRPG that includes:

• The core rule book
• All of the Options books
• All of the Settings books
• The Angels: The Game of Stories RPG and all its supplements
• The WyshMaykers RPG
• Old iterations of the core rulebook and some early supplements so you can see the evolution of the game over the last 10 years (including the "let's make like a board game" version.... don't ask.)

If you want to really see what 10 years of a game looks like, go get the 10 years bundle today. there are some good gems in there, and some nods to what we are building to in the future for U3.

The First -U-

At the time, there was not a lot of games in that genre, so we started making one up. It then morphed into a simple enough system that we could use for any genre and to tell any story. In fact, we started enjoying the incredibly rules lite nature of it. So, instead of making the Angels RPG, we made a generic book that could be used for any kind of story. When we first released it... it did pretty well. We never advertised it. We did not have a lot of competition. It made money and people played the game. We were ecstatic. then, we wanted to make it better. We wanted to make games using the core of the rules and expand out. so... we updated it.

-U- Updated

The Updated version of -U- changed the style and look of the books to make it easier to read and use. Also, we started branching out and making supplementary books like Options to help expand the rules but keep the core game easy and simple. Of course, this led us to thinking about what if games were "powered by" -U-. that led us to Updated and Revised

Updated and Revised -U-

As we moved to make the core game even better, we updated some of the rules and decided to include a lot of the options in some of the Options books back into the core rulebook. Nothing major, just
