Will i felt like posting ( or venting) wanted to start the ball rolling on how much the d6 system sucks. I wont rant a lot ill just say...
One dice decides if u pass or fail, and its a 1 in 6 chance that you totally screw up the roll, Force die or wild die whatever you call it, makes you feel like an Extra in film without a name badge, failing all your rolls.
Well thats all ill say, feel free to be pro or anti D6 i dont judge... Much

You do get to roll lots of dice though. Everyone likes rolling dice. Sure it may be a bit easy to fail but you're also just as likely to get the critical success thing and roll another die. And as I've already said... everyone likes rolling dice. ;D

i have to say i like the d6 system, its quite flexible so u can run any sort of game, which is kinda the thinking behind the system.
in addition, no where does it say in the d6 rules that "one dice decides if u pass or fail"
That dice is supposed to just represent ur chance of not doing so well, not to decide if u fumble, anyone who uses it that way isn't running it right.

Well to behonest it's not really the d6 at fault... But the system the d6 is being used with/for.

i dont think anyone is leading a campaign against the actual D6 dice, though that would be interesting.

Aww and i was making the no d6 picket signs too. It's an okay system just not everyone likes the high risk of one d6 dominating the rest. I mean if you play wargames enough one lousy dice roll can cost you or win you a game.

Much I'm not a big fan of the d6 system either, but that 1 in 6 chance of a cockup is nothing when you compare it to White Wolf systems, where every single 1 you roll counts against you. Yet WW have some of the best rated games on the market, so go figure.

I have to say i like the D6 system as it isn't all on 1 dice roll like d20 since not always is the 1 a critical failure but i suppose it is all down to GM descretion given any situation
say you roll a 1 to shoot this could mean your gun has jammed or an evil GM may just have your gun explode in your face
it is all really down to the GM i feel and how evil they decide to be to force dice 1s

I am not overly found of the d6 system as it seems that my d6's are cursed....I guess in a game where u want to roll low on a d6 would work out perfectly fine for me....but then they might decide to roll high again and I do like using the various dice that I have bought over the years....we should have a game that only uses d12...I never get to use them...
