I nerd-sniped myself... again
Re the D6 Star Wars system, v1, v2, v2.5

Here's a link to the differences from v1 to v2+
https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/star-wars-d6-difference-between-1st-ed-2nd-ed-revised.274331/post-6018337

tl;dr: minor rules twiddling, rough edge smoothing, introduced "wild die" - a divisive change - fun illustrations replaced with meh pictures

Here's a link to the differences between v2 & v2.5
https://rpg.stackexchange.com/a/38183/38458

tl;dr: an index! layout changes, logarithmic weapon scaling. minor rules twiddling

and... since i'm thinking about this. The core system is open sourced and called Open D6. There are copies available on Drive Thru that come pre-configured for different game types: space, fantasy, adventure, & a bunch of supplemental material.

I don't like them, and except for the Male Gaze aspect of the covers I can't tell you why. 🤷‍♀️

Because you can't get it anymore, I wanted to share some screenshots from Lil6 because John Grümph did a SPECTACULAR job: rules clarity, accessibility, layout AND the illustrations!

Just chef's kiss 👩‍🍳👌
I can't remember a single complaint or bad vibe from when I read this.

Damn it. Why are these rabbit-holes so deep⁉️ John made a free Space Opera game based on Mini Six (Bare Bones Edition)! BUT IT'S IN FRENCH! Most of his stuff is in French. Merde!

Also "Taunton & Tie-Fighter" which I suspect is only online because it's in French too & Disney is a US based company staffed by USians who don't know - or care about - foreign languages ;)

There's a TON of cool looking games - in French - on his site.

@masukomi La Lune et les Douze Lotus is a wonderful game too. Bits of it have been translated: https://legrumph.org/Terrier/public/chibi/lledl

But then I'm fluent in French and there's a whole ton of quality gaming material that rarely makes it across the Channel.

@gbsteve cool. I took 2 years of french, and forgot 99.9% of it, so most of this is inaccessible to me without a lot of time with google translate, and that's.... not great. BUT i turned on translations while I browsed his site and ... SO Much i want to play. 😿

Now, if it was in Esperanto I'd be fine. ;)

Bucket List Goal: Write a cool RPG that people enjoy… AND translate it to Esperanto. ;)
