Based upon the d6 game used by West End Games modified... I know I spent a lot of time using this for Star Wars back in the day and now a new rules set is being offered for free and free is good. www.antipaladingames.com/minisix.html

Aside from D&D, Star Wars by WEG was always our other major campaigning game when I was younger. We played it a lot, and I think d6 is one of the best systems ever. Not like D&D of course, but it does what it does so well.

I actually made a system just like this in the mid-eighties! Got a tad ticked when I saw Ghostbusters and Star Wars with a published version, but I guess great minds think alike. Now, Mini Six is one of my favorite systems for quick and easy (and FREE) role playing! I love all the adorable "knock off" settings made for it

Mini Six is a great game. Some of its rules I would even incorporate in a standard Star Wars D6 game if I was running one. I currently play in a Mini Six Fantasy campaign. -Havard

I made a simplified science-fiction version of Mini Six, which I called 'Pew! Pew!'. Unfortunately I had to stop running it after two games because I was too busy with real life, but the system seemed to work pretty well.

Good lord, SM, you are the patron saint of RPG book-lovers everywhere!
Due to this thread, I read through the rules the other night, and they do seem pretty cool. I like the scale system, in particular---a pretty elegant solution; much more so than, frex, Fudge.
Those covers, though, remind me of the early 90s, especially the over-chested Fantasy cover...

Those covers, though, remind me of the early 90s, especially the over-chested Fantasy cover... I found some cool craft paper this weekend and will probably make a cover for mine before I play with my 8-year old niece, wife and sister in law Note that the original post was about Mini Six, a super-simplified version of the game. You're referring to the full d6 Adventure/Fantasy/Space books which were a revision/generic version of the SW d6 rules. Mini Six has four attributes instead of six, for example, and a greatly simplified skill list. But that makes it crazy-simple to tack on more for particular settings or games you want to run, and the mini-settings in their book are great for one-off out-of-the-box gaming (like a Cthulhu or Serenity game, for instance).
