Okay, it’s been a little bit since I’ve done an update. Things have been a bit hectic. But during that time there’s been some new developments concerning OpenD6. Put simply, it can finally be used to publish new material legally.
Read more below. (more…)
As some of you may know, the D6 System has unofficially been released to OGL. Several books have been cleared by Eric Gibson of West End Games to be released under the OGL and the PDF versions of the books are available for free now. There were big plans to get the ball rolling on having the D6 System out for everyone to use, but those plans pretty much fizzled with the decision by Eric Gibson to stop communicating with the public at large.
Fortunately there are people in the D6 community who want to continue with what was started. Travis Wooten, aka Wraith on the WEGFanSite forums, has started a drive to get people working on and thinking about D6. He’s basically attempting to resurrect the Open D6 movement. He’s got a wiki page, a Facebook page and even a video on YouTube. You can read more about what his intent and desire is by going to the WEGFanSite and checking the Open D6 Resurrection forum. Or, if you want, you can go to the wikia page at http://opend6.wikia.com/wiki/Open_D6_Resurrection_Wiki .
So go check out what’s brewing with D6!
Have you ever wanted to make your own starships in Star Wars but never felt you could do it and come up with a reasonable price and reasonable stats for it? Well this is for you. This PDF has a system for creating starships, both fighters and capital ships, for use in the Star Wars roleplaying game. Now you can tell how much you can put into a certain ship based on its size. Now you can tell how many weapons can be on the ship. Now you’ll know how much a ship like that will cost…and it all fits within the Star Wars universe.
So enter the shipyards, open the PDF, and start making ships!
The first tank used by the Germans in World War Two. This tank, while lightly armed, proved fairly effective early on. Once it encountered more stout tanks, it was quickly overshadowed.
Since I don’t have a place for news with this version of the site, I’ll just post this as an article. If you take a gander at the West End Games forums you’ll see that West End Games has announced that they are “done” and will be selling off their rights.
Alas, how I would like to have the money on hand to purchase the rights for the D6 system. Regardless of what happens, I will continue to run this site and will continue to ramble on about the possibilities of the D6 system.
One thing I am currently working on is a new skill list for D6. When it is completed it will provide both a “generic” listing for those people who like keeping things quite simple, and a more detailed listing for those that like details. As soon as I feel confident on the layout, I will be posting it on this site.
So, D6 fans, hang in there!
Swordplay is one of the oldest arts of defense in the world. It has long been the choice weapon of both gentleman and scoundrel. This set of options presents opportunities across a wide variety of D6 settings, from the vibroblades of Star Wars, to the duel in Renaissance Europe, to a fantastic fantasy setting with flashing broadswords. Based on an optional rules set for a martial arts specialization, this set allows for more cinematic sword battles.
Welcome to the new look for D6 Universe! There are changes in store that will make this place even easier to browse around to find what other people have posted. Take the time to sign up and you could become a contributor to this site to share your D6 creations for others to see.
So come on in, look around, sign up and share and enjoy all of the D6 material here!
