The D02 Master:
You need at least two players unless you are crazy. One player is the D02 Master. They are in charge of everything. Every other player makes characters.
CharGen:
Get a sheet of paper. Write some stuff on it, or draw on it or something. This is your character sheet. Write some stats or numbers or something on it if that will make you feel better. Stuff like, "kill every mutha in the room" and "punch babies in the face"
Resolution Mechanic:
The D02 Master will present challenges that require you to randomly determine success or failure. Here is how this is done in the D02 system.
Dig in your pocket. Get some change. Shake up the fistful of change, call a side, and slap it down on the table. If more sides come up what you called, you win. This is a "coin-pool" system.
Setting:
Any. It is a trly universal roleplaying system, unless it does not involve killing things and taking their stuff. If you don't want to do that, join an improv troupe or something.
You will get may hours of fun from this system. You can do absolutely anything with it, as it know no limit.
You may send me a check in the mail for twenty dollars and you will get a printed copy of the rules, 2 blank character sheets which you can copy for personal use, and a roll of pennies.
Thank you.

the flaw of rolling a 'coin pool' is that the best fighter in the word, taking up his most magical sword, misses 5% of the time.
in the end, the d02 system has not enough rules. how do i determine if i kill somethihg or anyhting?

Obviously this game is over your head. If you were smarter, your dice would not need som many sides. Teh d02 system has enough rules to cover every situation possible. Like this:
Player:Can I swim? D02 Mater:Roll for it
Player:Heads! (rolls change)
D02Mster: You have 2 tails and 1 heads. You don't know to swim and you drown. Here is another sheet of paper for your new charter.

In this case the D02 Mastor would probably make you break it up into a few different rolls. Unless you had the stat for "killing every mutha-fucka in the room". Then you could do it with one roll.
Note that this stat could be established on the record sheet by writing it down, or illustrating it. Also, if the Do2 matesr is not looking, you can add it at any time.

Right now it only works with coins that have heads and tails. I don't know what canadian money has on it. Probably mousses or queens or something. What you need to do is get some american money, and then also buy version 1.5 which will have conversions for canadians and mexicans.
This game, while allegidly "indie" clearly refuses to fit in the G/N/S model and *blahblah artist with too much time blah*
I might actually run a game with this system. Maybe a 15 minute one shot during oh...something serious. A V: Victorian Age game, or a nice bit of Pendragon.
