Simply6 Simply6: A Fast, Light Universal RPG

Simply6 is a fast, light tabletop roleplaying game for 2 or more players which you can play using just six-sided dice. I put this together over the last couple of days in my spare time (based on something I was playing with in the forums a while back) and have uploaded it to DTRPG. It's only about 20-pages long, and will likely be tweaked and updated after I get some feedback.

[MENTION=813]jmucchiello[/MENTION] Download it again; adventure restored to its full glory! (should be file 1.6a)

I haven't read all this, but if it's all based on 3D6 and is universal, it sounds similar to a much older and well-established system, GURPS.

It’s not GURPS. Sorry, zero pointless snark points for you. Thanks, though.

More typo stomping - hope it’s helpful!

Updated to file v1.6b with minor eratta.

I think charge should be moved to the special abilities section. Why would someone not charge if they were primarily a melee combatant? What is the downside to charging?

The description in the special section (which still needed a better name) would just say "A charge attack is resolved during the melee phase of combat."

You remind me of a boss I once had.

Sorry.

EDIT: I shouldn't be snarky. I was. I'm sorry about that too.

Is “Simply Supers” by DumpStat Studios (brand new on DTRPG, no preview available) affiliated in any way w/ Simply6?

i ask because I believe that exact name was proposed earlier in this thread.

[jmucchiello]

I'm the one who proposed such a supplement earlier in the thread. (And I have half a document written.) But I am not associated with the makers of the above file and know nothing about it. (And my suggestion was SimplySuper, not Simply Supers. The space and the s differ.)
