		D6 is my other preferred generic system, and it's very easy to swing back and forth between it and fudge.
		While inconvenient, this work s very well for the OTE system, where the characters have only a few broad skills, but are considered to be generally functional human beings otherwise, and thus, don't need to worry about things like a driving skill to get to work, or an athletics skill to shoot some hoops.
		West End Games replaces their masterbook system with a D6 system that was flexible and easy to use, and put it to use with such games as Star Wars, Indianda Jones, and (in variant form) Hercules & Xena.

		The system is a skill-based (a variant of the GDW house system), using d10 (1st edition) or d20 (2nd edition).
		It is a dice pool system rolling d6's where 3-6 is a success (special dice are provided with red and blue faces for this) plus a special "wild die".
		The system is skill-based, based on rolling under your stat or skill on 1d10 (where 10 is a botch and 1 is a critical success).

		D6 Space, in my opinion, is a great way to re-launch the company being as that, previously, their biggest game was also set in space.
		D6 is "versatile" - meaning converting it to use for various settings was an intuitive piece of cake.
		D6 is "simple" - meaning that it´s intuitive enough that you could master it in a few sessions and improvising rules on the fly, that were consistent with the spirit of the rest of the rules set, was not a headache.

		WEG is rereleasing their d6 system made famous (infamous?) when they had the Star Wars RPG license.
		In D20 system the Stat (Ab Socre) counts for relatively little compared to the skill (this is best IMO as it makes the skill worth spending points on andyou can be good at something without having to have a good 'stat' for it).
		I suppose the ideal system would allow you the option, letting the GM choose whether you spend your character points freely as they are gained, or that XP must be spent in lumps as you gain levels, with some or all of your spend being dictated by a class.

	Tell me about WEG's d6 system... - RPGnet Forums
		The WEG d6 system is based on rolling a bunch of dice, summing them up, and hope you get more than the difficulty of the action.
		D6 Prime (I think that's the name of it) is a more simple version WEG came up with for their Herc/Xena game, after discovering that RPGers can't do simple addition.
		D6 is good for fast, action-heavy, not-terribly-serious games, where realism isn't much of a priority.

		System: The character generation and core system is basically identical from d6 Space.
		However, as with the Torg/Masterbook system, this is a system that could be abused.
		Instead of using the standard real cash system, this system is very similar to the wealth system in d20 Modern - a dice code represented the characters wealth, and a difficulty for each item is given representing how hard it is to obtain.

	D6 Adventure Rulebook Review -- June 1, 2004 :: d20 Magazine Rack :: Are You Game Enough?
		D6 System offer two means of handling damage; the one to be used in the campaign is chosen by the GM.
		D6 System uses abstract wealth, similar to the way that d20 Modern does, though there is a simple method for converting to hard cash, should the GM prefer to run it that way,
		Combined with the unique magic system where a hero actually creates her own spells, this makes for a winning combination that is an excellent game system for anyone seeking a break from the d20 System standard that permeates the market nowdays.

		Both system link each skill with a corresponding attribute, so getting this part straight should not be difficult as long as you have the two basic handbooks.
		D6 stats start at the same level as the corrsponding Attribute rating, and are subsequently modified by adding further points.
		To calculate the D6 rating of a SR skill, divide the SR skill rating by two, rounding down, and consider the result as the number of points to be added to the corresponding Attribute rating.

	West End Games/Purgatory Publishing
		There are a few options, but one that more advanced D6 System groups could try is the bargaining option, where the player and gamemaster try to figure out what works best for the scene, coming up with rule mechanics that feel okay for that situation.
		The D6 System is one of the only games that a new player can be taught everything she needs to start playing in five minutes or less -- including character creation.
		One of the strengths of the D6 System that's rare among other games is the ability to modify a roll after the fact, using Character Points; it makes the game more heroic, and leaves the players with lots of options.

		In games using the D6 system, each player has a character sheet that describes their character.
		Nyle's a pretty out-of-the-way system, so the gamemaster decides that Amy (the player running Sar'Joan) needs to roll a 15 or higher for her character to find the information she's looking for.
		Sar'Joan's planetary systems skill is 5D+2 (respectfully high), so Amy rolls five dice and adds 2 to the total.

		My big problem is that there are specific bits to the d6 system which aren't found in the other books - what I'd like is a for-sale PDF or for-sale GMs guide - 32 pages'd to it, which, for another $15, gives you all the "unique" rules in the set.
		IMHO i think the d6 rules are one of the best systems there is. The best points are fast gameplay and the skill system is second to none.
		d6 Star Wars was fun, but it was a nightmare when high skills (and thus, the bucket o' dice) became an issue.

	Wizards Community - Worried by d20
		When d6 first started out, they were basically the only thing going except what you saw in the movies, and they were given a lot of freedom to just create brand new stuff.
		I liked the D6 system a lot, to the point of actually using it as the basis for a home-brew fantasy system and even a home-brew supers system (that was a BLAST, though short lived).
		Players like the system better because their pc's actually improve at a steady rate (unlike in d6 where more powerful characters took forever to improve even a pip) and the improvement is noticable.

	The Mana Bros. D6 System pages
		The D6 System is a generic, universal role playing engine published by West End Games in 1996 and later turned into the WEG in-house system.
		While the chief aim of the System is to provide a basic set of customizable rules around which players can develop their own gaming universe, the D6 has also shown great potential as an alternate engine for pre-existing games - so much so that WEG presented some conversion rules for some of its MasterBook line.
		We plan to add a section of generic add-ons for D6 System games, and are scanning our RPG collection for other game settings that might benefit from a Total System Transplant (C).

		1) The new D6 rulebook is attractive and readable.
		On the other hand, the spell creation system is incredibly useful, and surprisingly independent of the provided magical arts framework.
		The limitation of the system lies within the tolerance of play groups for rolling and summing large quantities of dice.

	The D6 RPG System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		To recap the SW rules, each attribute or skill is the number of d6 you'll roll for a test on that skill.
		Almost anybody can remember "roll that many dice, high is good" or "both of you roll so many dice, doubling up the other guy is good." A set of fantasy rules took 20 minutes to hack out the basics, with magic converted from Ars Magica.
		Other games that convert very easily to the "D6 System" (as it's sometimes known) include Traveller, you just juggle the character creation to taste, but most of the numbers carry over, after conversion to dice (divide by three in most cases).

	The D20 - D6 Character Conversion System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Converting characters from the D20 system into the D6 system is largely based on taking the formula found in the back of the WotC core rule book and working backwards.
		So, a +6 intimidation converts over to +2D in the D6 system, and a +5 Disable Device is a 1D+2 Security.
		Converting the Force between the two systems is just the same as the rest of the conversion process, but a whole lot looser.

		The GM is to have total control over world, timeline, magic systems, etc. While I really can't argue with the concept (as I often find myself tweaking game universes, anyway), I do have a problem with some of the other categories...
		I never really cared for the D6 system within the pre-generated worlds.
		The game works off of a "target number" system, which is quite common, with the standard rule that rolling higher is better, however little is resolved in the manner of how a skill roll is to be done.

		The D6 System book is closer in value to Fudge than, say, GURPS.
		The D6 System is actually a collection of attributes and a dice resolution system, with lots of hints on how to plug in skills, advantages and disadvantages, and everything else necessary to create a gaming universe.
