What is it about?
OpenD6 provides a historical foundation within the D6 family for adventures across genres. Characters have attributes and skills expressed in dice, and actions add a dice pool against a difficulty. The specific publication matters: variants alter options, while licensed worlds retain their own separate permissions.
02
At the table
Choose a variant and setting, create characters with attributes and skills, and total pools of six-sided dice to overcome the difficulties of their actions.

Publishing route unconfirmed
OpenD6 reuse permission depends on the specific historical publication and its open-content declaration. No module permission is confirmed for this entry's version. OpenD6 must not be confused with D6 second edition or TinyD6.
Conditions
Do not extrapolate to Gallant's D6 System Second Edition or licensed properties such as Star Wars. A new edition's existence and the OpenD6 name do not replace the historical licence document.
