Roll your attributes with 1d6. Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma.

These numbers are ballpark. 1=really bad, 6=really good. You start at Level 2.

PlayersDescribe what your character is doing. Roll 2d6. A 5 or 6=successful. +1d6 for advantage of any kind (item, high attribute, superior tactics etc). -1d6 for disadvantage of any kind (low attribute, hinderance). Never roll more than 3d6. Never roll less then 1d6.Rolls: to hit, to evade, to try, to save, as the DM asks.

DMsPlay the world and everything in it. Roll for it, if necessary. Success in combat=reduce health by 1 point or narrate what happens (high health=they can take a good amount of damage, low health=weak). Major successes are possible (you decide when it happens and what happens). If it’s likely, don’t roll, it happens. If it’s unlikely, roll for it. If it’s impossible, don’t roll, tell them.

All rolls change the situation. Skills are likely except when impossible.

When it‘s dramatically appropriate, a character reaches a new experience level. They may then pick another item from their own list (or, with your OK, from another).
