Deep dives
Overview of Easy D6
Easy D6 is a tabletop role-playing game designed by DM Scottie McFarland, known for his crafty side of D&D on YouTube. The game aims to offer a smooth running RPG system that avoids complex rules and excessive tracking. The core mechanics, explained from page four to 21, cover elements like karma, time, actions, movement, and turn order. The game simplifies combat with a straightforward system where you need to roll a three or higher to hit your target, and enemies require the same to hit you. Training in something grants a boon and allows you to roll two D6. The hero die provides a chance to reroll a single dice by spending karma. Characters have three strikes, with armor providing protection, and a focus on immersive storytelling rather than heavy rules.
