1.1.4 Tools of Play

Unlike board games, Bullseye is principally a game of communication and does not require a board or numerous pieces to play. In fact, you don’t need anything beyond this book to play. However, you might find that play goes more smoothly if you have the following items: writing utensils, paper, and a 20-sided die for each participant. Since Bullseye only uses a 20-sided die, it is referred to simply as the "die" in this text. Twenty-sided dice can be readily obtained at most game shops and on the internet. If you do not have a die available, you can use the die icon in the book (see 1.2.2). You can also use the Bullseye Character Sheet, available as a free download on my website, to record information about the PCs.

Some RPGs use miniature figurines and playmats with gridlines for combat and other scenes where character positioning is important. Bullseye does not require that level of definition. However, you should consider experimenting with using these aids; you might find that it enhances the experience for your particular group.
