What is it about?
Tricube Tales reduces characters to easily explained traits and uses six-sided dice to keep tests quick. Richard Woolcock developed it as a compact alternative adaptable to different settings. Its line includes short scenarios, while recent revisions clarify the rules without changing their underlying operation or overall approach.
