[QUOTE="jaerdaph, post: 5025949, member: 3398"] I never played WEG's popular Star Wars RPG where the d6 System comes from, but I did buy the d6 Adventure hardcover back when it came out, read it, and was really impressed with the system. I never got to play it because d20 Modern and later True20 were already doing what I needed (and it was easier to find d20 players in general), so it ended up on the bookshelf. I recently rediscovered it though (through the free PDFs) and I've been giving it a good going over, kicking the tires etc. I've got a project I'm working on, and I've actually been considering going OpenD6 with it instead of True20. The only problem is that OpenD6, while perhaps not dead, does seem on life support, and another year has passed since it was first announced and nothing has materialized. The longer it takes, the less likely I see other publishers jumping on board over something like the d20 SRD, Pathfinder, or True20 (not to mention Savage Worlds and other non-d20 systems that can be used by 3PPs). If you want to know more about the history of OpenD6 (and the history of waiting folks have been doing for some announcement from WEG's Eric Gibson), check out the forums here: [url]http://www.wegfansite.com/forum/[/url] I'd love to see Eric's plans come to fruition, because it really is a robust game system with a lot of potential as an open source.
