Throwing Stones is a role-playing game that was sold in tubes which hold seven assorted dice for characters which had been randomly selected from 21 types of fantasy character, one die for monsters, a six-sided die, and a set of rules for characters to duel each other. [1]
Steve Faragher reviewed Throwing Stones for Arcane magazine, rating it a 5 out of 10 overall. [1] Faragher comments that "What a shame that such a fantastic idea is so shoddily presented. Do get hold of a set and have a look though. It might just change the way you look at roleplaying mechanics for ever." [1]
Tom Lehmann reviewed Throwing Stones for Pyramid #17 (Jan 1996) and stated that "By removing the character sheet largely from play the game actually feels more 'diceless' than some diceless systems - a really strange result from a system based on constantly rolling dice!" [2]
