knowledge, so that the character's behaviour cannot be seen to
be influenced by information that they should not have. (Role
Playing Games term)
Frame
Game
[RD79, RD74] A game shell that can be readily adapted for a wide
range of purposes and a basic gaming structure that is universal
in that it permits virtually any problem to be expressed.
Freeform
[JM99] Australian Usage: An advanced form of live-action role-playing,
pioneered in Australia. It is typified by a large number of players
(from 12 upwards). The game is run in real time, and the inter-character
dynamics are such that it requires minimal GM intervention. Some
of the ideas developed by freeformers have been adapted by White
Wolf games for their proprietary game system Mind's Eye Theatre.
American Usage: See Diceless Role-Playing. (Role Playing Games
term)
