In my constant tinkering of the Open D6 and Mini Six rules, one of my goals has always been to create a set of mechanics that provides the simplicity and flexibility needed for gaming in a convention (or time limited) setting. The prerequisites for this include being easy to teach, common consistency in core mechanics and allows genre specific rules to be easily bolted on.
My most recent attempt at this is Raw Six, where I’ve pared back Open D6 to what I think are its fundamentals. However, I’ve also looked to add more player agency with a Stress mechanic, that allows characters to gain temporary advantages, at a longer term cost.
Like Simple Six, Raw Six leans heavily on the design philosophy of AntiPaladin Games’ Mini Six rule set and I’m forever grateful for the efforts of Ray Nolan and Phil Morris.
