The Burning Wheel

A fantasy role-playing game without a dedicated setting. The game uses a dice pool mechanic (using only standard six-sided dice) for task resolution and a character generation system that tracks the history and experiences of new characters from birth to the point they begin adventuring. The rules, mechanics and backstory elements used in character generation imply a fantasy world by default, but can be easily modified, and the game includes mechanics for players to generate their own setting content during play, in the form of Wises and Circles tests.

A group of adventurers have reached the treasure at the bottom of the dungeon, and now they have to decide which of them of actually keeps the sword they've been looking for. It is unlikely to go well. The Sword is a demo for Burning Wheel, a gritty fantasy rpg that makes the characters' beliefs an important part of the action.
