She knows nothing about roleplaying games, so the easier and more flexible (to adapt to my meandering plot-lines and world concepts), the better!paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914426686348932879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377245078530409938.post-9934056810988873582011-12-08T16:45:49.447-08:002011-12-08T16:45:49.447-08:00D6 is a great system.

Since you have opposed rolls for combat and skill contests, it has a competitive feel to it. <br /><br />Its also a game well suited for fast action, probably why it worked so well for Star Wars. <br /><br />I remember sessions would just "take off", and suddenly it was 5 hours later and you had accomplished all these scenes... the game just wrote itself. <br /><br />I never thought it was clunky in any way. Its too easy to build excitement with the system for it to be clunky. <br /><br />Once you understand the dice and pips concept, its so simple to play. I highly recommend it.Brent Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706051491589093611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377245078530409938.post-63224780260508059742011-12-08T11:08:25.002-08:002011-12-08T11:08:25.002-08:00Ah, you are a D6 Veteran, Brent!

I am interested to use the latest D6 Fantasy stuff for something, though. What are your memories, Brent, did you like the system when you played Weird Western D6? Was it clunky (as some say) or smooth? Did it feel good?paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914426686348932879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377245078530409938.post-63255326095430648862011-12-07T17:42:39.725-08:002011-12-07T17:42:39.725-08:00Thanks Paladin.

Would have been about '93 I'd say. Long before Deadlands. I do like the templates this guy made though. Nice work. Thanks for the link.Brent Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706051491589093611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377245078530409938.post-26444638577011593512011-12-06T10:39:37.449-08:002011-12-06T10:39:37.449-08:00Brent, I recommend by recommendation of Master Gil...Brent, I recommend by recommendation of Master Gilius (of CBW fame) the FREE West End Games D6 Adventure rules. Someone made those beautiful Character Templates (NOT Classes! :D) -> http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/showthread.php/8913-Interest-Recruitment-WEG-D6-Adventure-Western.<br /><br />You can get the Modern D6 stuff from the following direct link for nothing but download time:<br /><br />http://www.whitesaber.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16:d6-adventure-pdf&catid=2:board-games<br /><br />This is not exceptionally rules-light (about 150 pages), but VERY easy to play and learn, quite different from the usual D&D/d20-stuff, and you only need d6 (lots of them ... dice pool mechanics). It provides some (Indian?) magic and horror too, if you need something to spice up your campaign.paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914426686348932879noreply@blogger.com
