[edit] System
Pantheon introduced a system called Narrative Cage Match (NCM) that differs from traditional role-playing game systems in that there is no referee or gamemaster. Players control a character that co-operates and competes with other characters to try to steer th course of the story so that their character finishes in a better position that all the others. Players influence the narrative outcomes of the games they are playing using a bidding mechanism that uses beads and traditional six-sided dice.
[edit] Games
Pantheon includes 5 games called:
- Grave and Watery - action and horror in an undersea base
- Boardroom Blitz - players battle for control of a family megacorporation
- The Big Hole - modern-day gangsters in a tale of crime, revenge and blackmail
- Destroy all Buildings - Giant monsters ravage Tokyo
- Pantheon - create the universe
[edit] New Style
Pantheon was part of a series experimental/alternative role-playing games published by Hogshead Publishing. Other games in the series included the award-nominated Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Violence, and Puppetland/Powerkill.
