. The BasicsThis game is based onWest End Game's D6 system,specifically its Star Wars ole!"laying Game. WEG's Star

Wars is no long in print, b#t their brand ne$ %etabarons game $ill pro&ide yo# $ith additional info yo#

might need. Go pic #p a copy( If yo# ha&e any )#estions or comments, please email me and I'll try to

ans$er them for yo#.G*%E %E+,*- +SThe DiceThe system re)#ires players to roll si!sided dice /D60, $hich represent a character's attrib#tes and sills.

When appropriate, the Game %aster $ill tell a player to roll a n#mber of dice e)#al to either the attrib#te

or sill being #sed. The player rolls the appropriate n#mber of dice, adds the &al#es together and tells the

G% the s#m. If the s#m is e)#al to or greater than the diffic#lty n#mber /See belo$0, the character

s#cceeds. If it is lo$er, the character fails.

E.ampl 1 +ob#rn is trying to $al along a thin ledge $itho#t falling. e has aDeterity of 2D. The G% sets a diffic#lty n#mber and then the player controlling

+ob#rn $ill roll 2 dice and s#m the res#lts to see if he is s#ccessf#l.

E.ampl 31+ob#rn is trying to con&ince a militia officer to lend him his 4eep. ehas a "ers#asion sill of 3D53. The G% sets the diffc#lty and the player

controlling +ob#rn $ill s#m the res#lt of 3 dice and add 3.

The Wild DieEach player sho#ld designate one of his or her dice to be the Wild Die /it is helpf#l if it's a different color or

shape0.

Whene&er the the Wild Die comes #p $ith a 3,2,, or 7, add the res#lt to the other dice as normal. B#t, if

the Die comes #p $ith a 6, add 6 to the dice total and roll the Wild Die again and add the ne$ &al#e to

the dice total. If another 6 comes #p, roll and add again. This contin#es as long as the player contin#es to

roll 6's on the Wild Die.

E.ampl 1 +ob#rn has a 8irearms sill of D. When he fires, he rolls dice. is&al#es are 3,7,2 and on the Wild Die, a 6, res#lting in 96. e rolls the Wild Die

again and gets another 6( The total is no$ 33 and he gets to roll again. This time,

he gets a 9 and adds that to the s#m to get a 32 for his shot.

If the Wild Die comes #p $ith a 9 $hen a character is first rolling a Sill or *ttrib#te +hec, roll the Wild

Die again. If the &al#e is 9 thro#gh 7, remo&e the Wild Die and the die $ith the highest &al#e from the dice

to be added.

E.ampl 1 +ob#rn is shooting again. e rolls a 3,7,6 and on the Wild Die a 9. ererolls the Wild Die and gets a 3. e remo&es the Wild Die and the die that came

#p 6 and adds the remaining t$o dice together to get :.

If the second Wild Die roll comes #p to be a 6, then the character has +omplicated. e or she has scre$ed

#p in a partic#larly bad $ay....perhaps dropping his $eapon do$n into a se$er grating or t$isting an

anle $hile trying to dodge. +omplications sho#ld mae a character's life more diffic#lt, b#t ne&er ill

them o#tright.

E.ampl 1 +ob#rn is r#nning a$ay from a pair of ydraliss o&er ro#gh terrain.The G% has him mae a r#nning roll $ith a diffic#lty of 9; to a&oid tripping o&er

some 4agged rocs. +ob#rn, $ith a #nning sill of 2D, rolls 2 dice. e gets a 3,2

and on the Wild Die a 9. e rerolls the Wild and gets a 6( e not only fails b#t

+omplicates. The G% tells him that he not only trips o&er the rocs can, b#t he

drops his rifle into an inaccessible crac. e $ill be defenseless if the ydraliss

catch #p $ith him(

list 2 additional sills that they tae a ;D #nder each *ttrib#te. The character may still perform any other

sills #nder that attrib#te, b#t at a !9D diffic#lty. There'are t$o eceptions to this r#le1

G%'s may /and sho#ld0 ecercise discretion in assigning higher diffic#lty le&els to #nlearned sills.

+ertain characters may not ha&e the bacgro#nd necessary to attempt certain sills. 8or eample, a?erg character $ill ha&e absol#te no idea ho$ to fi a po$ers#it /m, o, I sniff it, $al aro#nd

*d&anced sills represent m#ch more comple areas of st#dy. *s s#ch, a character cannot attempt

an *d&anced sill $itho#t ha&ing assigned at least 9 die to it.Speciali@ations1%any sills ha&e speciali@ations $hich allo$ the character to foc#s on a certain aspect of the sill. If a

speciali@ation is taen, a character may ad&ance in that speciali@ed aspect of the sill at half the normal cost

of ad&ancement. o$e&er, #ses of the sill not co&ered in the Speciali@ation remain at the base sill le&el.

E.ampl 1 +ob#rn has 8irearms at D. e decides to tae the speciali@ation8irearms1 *ssa#lt iflesto ad&ance to 7D at a cost of 6 +" rather than 93 +".

*nytime he fires a s#bmachine g#n, he gets to roll 7D, b#t all other firearms are#sed at D.

Speciali@ations may be selected at +haracter +reation. If so, the character recei&es 3 dice for e&ery 9 spent.

Th#s, a player decides to Speciali@e in S#bmachine g#ns, he can gets 53D to all rolls $ith that ind of

$eapon. *lternately, the player may p#t 9 die into S#bmachine g#n and p#t another in some other

Speciali@ation /s#ch as Dri&ing1 %otorcyle, etc.0. -ote1 +haracters may not start $ith general sills greater

than 6D or Speciali@ations greater than :D(

Speciali@ations are independent of the sill from $hich they are deri&ed. If the player later increases the

sill, the Speciali@ation does not increase. If the Speciali@ation increases, there is no change in the base sill.*d&anced sills1Some partic#larly complicated sills re)#ire t$o times the normal amo#nt of +haracter "oints to allo$ for

*d&ancement. They also typically re)#ire some other prere)#isite sill.+,+hi symboli@es the inner strength and reso#rces of a character. It is #s#ally a manifestation of their heroic

)#alities. o$e&er, ethics and morals in the $orld of Starcraft are often m#ry and highly s#b4ecti&e.

s#ally, characters may only gain additional +hi points by spending the ones they ha&e. This is a bit of a

gamble, since they $ill not al$ays regain spent points. *t the end of each game session, the G% decides

$hether the characters regain spent points and if they are granted additional +hi.

In other D6 games, characters gain +hi=8orce=ero points $hen they #se eisting points to preform heroic

actions. In Starcraft D6, heroism is often in the eye of the beholder. So, in deciding $hether the character

regains the spent +hi point, or is granted an additional one, the G% sho#ld first decide $hether the

character acted heroically $ithin the character's o$n personality or code of ethics. *t it's most basic le&el,

good g#ys sho#ld act lie good g#ys and &illains sho#ld perform &illainy. -ote that there is no e)#i&alent

to Septic or Dar 8orce points in this game. Bad g#ys 4#st act lie bad g#ys, and the players $ant to play a

Generally, yo# may follo$ the g#idelines belo$1

If the character spends the +hi point to perform a heroic act, #s#ally to sa&e someone's life, stop a

bad g#y, or attempt an action that ris his o$n life, then he sho#ld recei&e the point bac and gain

another.

If the character #ses the +hi point to perform a diffic#lt tas, b#t that is either not &ery dramatic or

heroic, then he sho#ld get the point bac b#t not gain another.

If the character spends the +hi point to accomplish a relati&ely normal feat or to 4#st sa&e his o$n

sorry hide, he does not get the point bac.* character may spend #p to 3 +hi per ro#nd, each do#bling the dice pools of 9 action/See sing +hi0.

8inally, if a character has no +hi points, the G% may decide to grant one after a partic#larly heroic or risy

act /or an act that f#rthers the character's strong moti&ation0.*D
