''Forsooth'', by Sam Liberty and Kevin Spak, is a GM-less game of Shakespearean role-playing. Three or more players play characters--and take turns as the Bard, who sets scenes. Settings, themes, and language (to an extent) are in the Shakespearean mode; the story has the structure of a stage play.

Each character has an adjective/noun pair that broadly describes them. These are typically selected from (or rolled on) a table. For example someone could be a Rakish Tyrant--or, alternately, a Tyrannical Rake. Characters also have a Motivation (such as seducing someone or restoring your good name), and Oath (to always obey your liege lord, to never do an unselfish deed, etc.) It's best when the Motivation and Oath come into conflict sometime in the story. The above and some connections with other characters is pretty much the entirety of character creation.
