Mage Against the Machine
* In this time-travel RPG set against an apocalyptic future caused by rogue AI robots called "machines," players create their characters based on memorable experiences they had as children or teenagers to become wizards who must prevent the machines from wreaking havoc upon humanity. The game includes a resolution phase where each player rolls dice for how many anomalies were generated, affecting any detail provided in an answer about that moment's events and its impact on people close to them at risk of loss if manipulated too far into their pasts or futures by players' magic powers during gameplay sessions with the GM-less structure.
