6Q-System: A Free RPG
Hey, from the numbers, it looks like you all like free RPGs! This has given me such a positive boost, that I finally finished up the GM side of things and updated the previous release with clearer language. The images hold the whole game. To celebrate, I also put in more community copies of the PDFs on Itch.io. Enjoy!
Since it is CC BY 4.0, you are welcome to hack it to whatever you want. If you do, please tag me, as I would love to see it.
I am stuck between 'd12Core' and 'The Flux Engine' for my new tabletop RPG. The first describes an important mechanic, the second captures the spirit. Which one grabs your attention more and sounds more interesting?
At the heart of the game is the Flux Dice, a d12 that can dramatically swing the outcome of any action. It adds an element of surprise and uncertainty, where the best can fumble, and novices might pull off the near impossible.
If you want to see what it is all about, the beta has been out under d12Core for a while, it is free and will always stay free.
Since this post was popular but my other post with the free update didn't get traction, I'll try re-blogging this one so you all don't miss out! Here is the updated primary page and added GM Page. Have fun!
Enjoy this free game! If you like it, please consider purchasing it through itch to support my further work. Would love to hear your thoughts in any case, is this interesting? What's missing? EDIT: Since it's a popular post, a new update out on Itch or here on my Tumblr.

Expanding the 6Q-System
Hey TTRPG family,
Since a lot of you seem to like my free game 6Q, I've been kicking around some ideas for setting modules for it, and I'd love to get your input. I'm currently considering eight different settings, each with its own unique flavor. Take a look at these summaries and let me know which ones grab you the most:
🌆 Cyberpunk Megacity: Navigate a neon-drenched domed metropolis where climate control has gone haywire and micro weather haunts the districts. Help claw back control of the very weather from the corrupt corps exploiting it.
🐉 Mythic Fantasy Realm: Explore a world where forgotten gods walk among mortals and ancient magic pulses through the land. Your choices will shape the destiny of a realm teetering between rebirth and oblivion. May the fog spare you.
🪐 Space Opera Fringe: Carve out your legacy on the edge of known space, where alien mysteries and human ambition collide. The key to uniting worlds may lie in the unlikliest of friendships.
🕴️ Supernatural Investigation Agency: Join a clandestine organization tasked with keeping the supernatural hidden from the public eye. Balance maintaining the veil under which society operates with uncovering otherworldly truths that threaten reality itself.
🏜️ Post Apocalyptic Reconstruction: In a world ravaged by catastrophe, lead the charge to rebuild civilization. Your choices will determine not just survival, but the very nature of the society that rises from the ashes.
🎩 Steampunk Conspiracy: Unravel a web of secrets in a world of brass and steam, where science and the occult intertwine. Your inventions and deductions could topple empires or usher in a new age of enlightenment.
☀️ Solarpunk Utopia: Shape the future in a world that has overcome its greatest challenges through technology and social change. Explore the complexities of maintaining harmony while striving for perfection.
🏡 Slice of Life Community: Build connections and navigate personal growth in a close-knit community. Discover the extraordinary in the ordinary as you help shape the lives of those around you.
I'm genuinely curious to hear which of these resonates with you. Your input will be a big help as I expand 6Q. I can't promise I will nail every setting as some of these are challenging for me and outside my expertise. And of course details may change. I hope to get to every setting in due time, but your choice tells me what I will work on first. Cheers!
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments - I'm always interested in hearing your ideas and what you'd like to see.
Thanks for being part of this journey with me. Please repost if this interests you, I would love to get as much input as possible! Looking forward to seeing what you all think.
Today's mood : "Hand me an axe! Chopping to be done."
I am writing a Technicolour Post Apocalypse expansion for 6Q, it was going so well, and at almost 50 Pages my brain finally went: Hold it, 6Q doesn't need fully fleshed out item crafting, community upgrades or a bloody point crawl. So today is "kill your darlings" day. 🪓
Before I had four different random tables to generate the setting, plus the point crawl. Now it's one 6Q table. I had a core/body/mod crafting system with three d66 tables for parts. I even had three tables to generate characters. Why do you do this brain?
Chopped it all away and went back to what 6Q is all about: Answer six questions to play.
All that content will come back in some form, but not for basic 6Q. Not wasted effort, just not efficient effort.
Have any of you read 6Q already? It's free and just two pages. Would love to hear what you think, especially how you would like specific world and settings expansions to be presented.
