ROLL was meant to be a flexible and extensible game-mechanics system for fantasy RPGs.

The project's goal is to provide a free and open source library for game-mechanics management in a fantasy role-playing game. In particular we want the library to become a viable choice in the development of video games, allowing developers to concentrate on other aspects like graphics, setting and plot.

We believe that the developer would, and should be concentrated only in the creation of the characters and the plot, relying on third party libraries (3D, physical, sound), but unfortunately he is often forced to define the mechanics of the game with poor results and enormous costs in time and resources.
