Amber is at the other end of the spectrum mechanically and both very diceless. Nobilis and Amber are god class gaming but Active Exploits is certainly more oriented towards more every day folk. Amber had methods for shaking up what might be called very absolutist mechanics but they were very free form... Theatrix introduced non free form ways of arbitration via a player points mechanic which rather leads to the game FateGames like fate/fudge start out with dice but the dice are such a supplement on top of player choices that it is more than a little natural to drop back to diceless ironic because Fate was inspired by wanting to add dice to Amber.</blockquote>
