There is an Amber diceless RPG.  Not sure if it's sanctioned or not.  And it's definitely not D&D.

And I'm with ya', Doc.  Trumps would be sweeeeeeet!

A certain major RPG game company (which is not functional at this time) supposedly had a handshake with Zelazny to do a really in depth Amber RPG.
Since the family in Amber were based on a D&D group that Zelazny played in, this would have been ultra nerd cool.

Made mention of this in another thread, so sorry if I sound like my nutty Aunt who says the same thing multiple times, but Lords of Gossamer and Shadow (by Rite Publishing) is a kind-of-sort-of successor to the old Amber RPG game - it too is diceless and pulls from the Amber influence with its own twists and the author of the game has good Amber pedigree. 

Sorry; don't mean to derail too much here.

It is authorized.  I own both sets of rule books.

Trumps & Teleporters would be awesome!
