Welcome to the Open D6 Repository (formerly Mini Six Fanatic), a portion of Unbound Publishing dedicated to the Open D6 family of Roleplaying games (including AntiPaladin Games‘ Mini Six Cinematic ruleset from which this all grew). In these posts and pages we produce a variety of material, both existing and new, and over the years this site has become a place where we can explore the Open D6 mechanics (having recently released both Simple Six – an iteration based on the the D6 legend system) and Raw Six – a very light Open D6 game designed for one-off play).
What is Mini Six?
Mini Six is a simplified and fast playing variant of the OpenD6 system. Written by Phil Morris and Ray Nolan, the Mini Six Bare Bones Edition (available in both free PDF and hardcopy formats) takes the best aspects of the D6 system (as originally seen in games like Star Wars, Ghostbusters and other games published by the – now defunct – West End Games) and focuses on what makes gaming fun!
Farnsley’s Phantasm Investigations
Farnsley’s Phantasm Investigations (FPI) is a Victorian Era horror setting that combines elements of Gothic mystery with the action of Ghostbusters, making it a very different type of horror experience. You can discover more here.
Other Settings and Support
Over the years we’ve tinkered with a variety of setting for the Mini Six setting, as well as material for those provided in the rulebook. You can find these here.
What is Raw Six?
In my constant tinkering of the Open D6 and Mini Six rules, one of my goals has always been to create a set of mechanics that provides the simplicity and flexibility needed for gaming in a convention (or time limited) setting. The prerequisites for this include being easy to teach, common consistency in core mechanics and allows genre specific additions to be easily bolted on.
The current iteration of Raw Six can be found here.
