  1. Hello all I am looking to introduce my kid to ttrpgs. While they know of D&D its a bit of a beast so I have been looking to alternatives.

    The one that catches my attention it the TinyD6 setup. Simple and not really limited sounds very appealing.

    What are your thoughts on TinyD6 or other good starter systems?

  3. Wow, mehr bloggen war so ein heimlicher Vorsatz für 2026. Da bin ich bereits gut davor. Habe mal meine Meinung zu TinyD6 niedergeschrieben. Tolles System, für mich aber eher etwas für Zwischendurch. Was meint ihr dazu TinyD6 oder EZD6? wyrm.li/mj6c #pnpde #TinyD6 #EZD6

  5. oh, i just saw that there is a bundle of holding for the tiny d6 games. if you are in need of a dead simple but deep game, make sure to check out the tiny d6 games like tiny dungeon or tiny frontiers. i used tiny cyberpunk for my next solo playthrough btw.

  7. Interested in a simple superhero rpg? I wrote about my experience with Tiny Supers. #TinyD6 #TinySupers

  8. I finished up my Tiny Supers custom character sheet. Free to download in both US letter and A4 sizes.

    More people should try Tiny Supers. It's an elegant little system.

    I've also added a cheat sheet for the rules.

  10. @PepitoStronzo Wir haben aktuell jeden Dienstag eine #DSA5 Gruppe ab ca. 19:30 Uhr in der Forsthütte (zweite Tür an der Seite). Es gibt auch noch eine sich unregelmäßig treffende #tinyd6 / #tinydungenon Gruppe. Komm gerne einfach mal vorbei.

    Und natürlich gibt es da noch "Mutterstadt spielt!" im April, das wir zusammen mit #Vorderpfalzspielt und der #AWO organisieren. Da werden auch wieder einige Rollenspieler kommen.

  11. Dirigible "Gigant", used by player characters in my one-shot adventure to deliver medicines over a vast jungle to a faraway mining town. #steampunk #TinyD6 #ttrpg #Tektoa

  13. Last night I ran my second game of #TinyD6 #ttrpg set in my homebrew settimng called #Tektoa.

    Wouldn't you know: when I actually came prepared for the game, the session went much more smoothly.

    It's not even that I got a chance to do anything particularly complex or innovative, but the mere feeling of being ready helped me remain calm and focused during the session. 1/?

  15. So, last night I ran for the first time #TinyD6 #ttrpg for a group of my friends, set in a pulp/steampunk lost world setting I call #Tektoa.

    Players played the crew and the passengers aboard dirigible "Gigant", flying over dinosaur-infested jungle to urgently bring medicines to a distant mining community.

    They were attacked by a trio of diablodactyls, but defeated them fairly easy. 1/2

  17. Next week, I'll be running a short #ttrpg adventure using #Tinyd6 rules by Gallant Knight Games.

    I'll be running a pulp/steampunk game set in my Lost World/Mysterious Island setting called #Tektoa.

    Thanks to my friend @viktorTheBoar I have this neat character sheet for the game. Since we'll be playing online, I also made a fillable PDF version.

  19. Just ran a one-shot of Tiny Living Dead, the zombie apocalypse version of the #TinyD6 system.

    1 infected, 2 survivors.

    Used an old scenario I posted about previously:
    polyhedralnonsense.com/2020/10

    More people should try Tiny D6. Good for beginners, good for one-shots

  20. My favourite sessions I run at a Con were "Monster Island" - a #TinyD6 adventure, I wrote for #MechaAndMonsters and a full improvised session of #Troika. 3/x

  22. Tiny Cyberpunks is up on kickstarter. I really like the #TinyD6 system. I've missed a few but have most of the books. #ttrpg #rpg

  23. Day 4 at #RPGaDay2023

    Most recent game bought?

    Most recently, I bought the game Tiny Pirates. It is one of the several #TinyD6 products I own.

    While this game specifically is oriented towards playing 17th century pirates, the system is flexible enough that there are versions for playing #Cthulhu games, #western, #Fantasy, and so on.

    While I still haven't actually ran a TinyD6 game, I am... cautiously optimistic about this.

  25. In full-on pirate mode, I bought myself both Tiny Pirates RPG and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, both on discounts.

    The irony is that I broke my finger several weeks ago so I can't play any computer games at the moment.

    As for Tiny Pirates, I discovered #TinyD6 games this spring and I like them a lot. And this one comes with ship combat rules!

  27. @LeviKornelsen I don't know that I can make a useful list. There are so many rpgs I like. I also have my own supplements including #BrickExoframe in #PocketQuest2023

    Here are some interest:
    #dnd
    #Spelljammer
    #GammaWorld
    #TinyD6

  28. I'm slowly teaching my kids RPGs. We've started with collective storytelling sessions using Mystical Throne Entertainment's Little Heroes. It's great even for preschoolers. Now that they know how to read and write I'm moving on to Tiny Dungeon 2E to give play a little bit more structure. Overall it's being delightful. Give them a try:

  29. So, I cobbled my personal mix of #TinyD6 rules, combining aspects of Tiny Cthulhu, Tiny Gunslingers, Advanced Tiny Dungeons, and Bestiarium Vocabulum: A TinyD6 Bestiary.

    And yet, basic rules are still quite simple and clear. Whatever over complication there is is solely my fault.

    I made a Google Docs document for my players, copying relevant rules. All in all, there's about 30 pages covering combat, equipment, character creation, adventuring... Everything!

  31. While simple, there's juuust enough crunchiness to it. There are different categories of weapons. There are Traits giving you advantage on certain types of checks. There are simple rules for traps, magic, all kinds of stuff!

    The game is light yet robust enough that you can tinker with it. I created my own starting archetypes, equipment list and bunch of monsters, all based on pre-existing material.

    As a plus, there are bunch of dinosaur stats already in the game!

  33. I was even thinking of building my own RPG system, starting with #YearZeroEngine that powers #Vaesen, Alien and Blade Runner RPGs. And then, someone mentioned that #TinyCthulhu was on sale on DrivethruRPG.

    I never heard of TinyD6 system before, but I was immediately delighted. In TinyD6, you use the d6 dice, and have to roll either 5 or 6 for a success. If you have an advantage, you roll three d6. If you have a disadvantage, roll one d6. That's pretty much it.

  35. #FrontierScum seems really fun for one-shots, but I'm not sure I could run a whole campaign using that system.

    #OwlHootTrail looks like fun, but it is too much about transposing D&D classes and races into the Western setting.

    #SavageWorlds is just a tiny bit too crunchy for me.

    I also checked out two setting-appropriate #Ubiquity games: #HollowEarthExpedition and #LeaguesofAdventure, but, for some reason, they just didn't click for me.

    #ttrpg #Tektoa #TinyD6

  36. Choosing the right RPG for my Colonization of the Lost World setting was a challenge.

    I'm not a fan of crunchy games, yet, I didn't want to use a pure storytelling game, either. Also, it kinda sounds a bit like an OSR game, with players going out from their base to explore the wilderness around them.

    Also, also, I would probably run this game over Discord, so I didn't want to burden my players with too many rules or funky dice.

  37. So far, we got:

    - exotic setting with dinosaurs, jungles and ancient ruins
    - victorian adventurers and some sort of Wild West cowboys/mercenaries
    - the primary villain is the predatory corporation exploiting the land and the people.

    Let's stop here for the time being. I want to present this idea in more digestible chunks. :-)

    #ttrpg #Tektoa #Tinyd6

  38. ... I kinda want to dig into these themes.

    Karl Freund's amazing #FrontierScum gave me the idea of this predatory corporation looking to exploit the New World for all its worth, no matter the cost for the nature, the workers, or the natives.

    Kinda like the third season of the TV series #Deadwood, when George Hearst tries to buy off all the gold claims around the town using whatever means necessary.

    Player characters should naturally align against such villain.
