6d6 Core

Quick and easy to learn, this innovative RPG introduces you to a brand new style of role playing. Designed from the ground up to support characterisation and creativity, it provides a space in which players and Game Leaders can let their imagination run free.

The core rules are not tied to any particular setting or genre. Instead, the book focuses on explaining the central game mechanics of the 6d6 RPG in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.

Fun, Easy and Fast

The secret of the 6d6 RPG comes down to a relentless focus on speed of play, creativity and role playing. During thousands of hours of play testing we have thrown out anything which slows the game down or gets in the way of the players' imagination.

The result is a fast game which is easy to learn and lets players focus on role play and not rules.

Simple By Design

The heart of the 6d6 RPG is the powerful system of potential and advantages.

Potential controls how much you can do, and ebbs and flows from round to round. Large actions or multiple actions in one round will leave a character short on potential. Spend too much and you may be defenceless, but take it easy for a round or two and potential is built up. This gives combat a natural realism and opens up a more dynamic battlefield.

Advantages are your individual strengths, tricks and knowledge that can be used in an action. By themselves advantages are weak but their power comes from how they are combined. A warrior may use Brawn + Weapon Expertise + Longsword to strike an opponent; a spacecraft pilot may use Problem Solving + Navigation + Astrophysics + Computer Use to plot a course; a Private Eye may use Intimidate + Quick Wits to make a perp talk.

The power and role playing potential of the 6d6 RPG comes from what is and is not covered in the rules. Potential is tightly defined because it keeps the game fair and balanced. How Advantages are used is only limited by a player's imagination and their ability to justify a combination to the other players.

SuccessOrFailure-Tranparent-300px.png

The 6d6 RPG is simple to learn because there is only one mechanic. Flying a spaceship, casting a spell, scaling a wall, stabbing someone or bluffing your way into a secret cult are all handled in the same way. You spend potential to combine advantages and add their dice together. The opponent does the same to set a target to beat. The degree of success, e.g. the damage done, is the difference between the two.

Factors such as range and cover, as well as ad-hoc bonuses for preparation and good role playing simply add dice to the attacker's or the defender's action as appropriate.

6d6 Core

The 6d6 Core covers the basic game rules, handling social interactions, combat, traps, environmental hazards, challenges, and advice on being a better player. It also includes a quick-start guide for new players.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
