How to Play: Star Wars D6

Star Wars D6, still played by thousands, but it's been out of print for a while, so one of the more difficult games to learn to play. Here's a brief overview of how to play it.

My SWRPG books have been in storage for 20 years. Now I'm dusting them off to play once more, & this has helped. Many thanks!

I think the stormtrooper was only suppose to get 3D for his Blaster roll. He would lose -1D to his DEX because of his armour.

Best thing about modern times are dice rolling apps for your phone/ipad. Rolling 14 dice is not a huge problem anymore.

I've been wanting a good basic system to play with some friends, and it was right under my nose the whole time. Thanks!

Just started running this for my nephews

Having started playing and gming this system earlier this year, it quickly has become my favorite RPG system. (Next 2nd edition AD&D)

My friends and I have been on a serious Star Wars kick lately, and it's ended up making us want to play our own tabletop campaign. Having only played DnD 5E before, I'm very glad that I decided to search this up.

This video is older but I see that you have some recent comments, so I was wondering if you could direct me to some free and mobile friendly resources to use? I'm going the GM the first campaign and I could use things like pre-generated NPCs, a Ship Builder, Map generator, etc.

Starting a new group after 20 years too... cant wait to get going and incorporating new technology. Thanks for the primer!

The character scale is silly at capital scale, but it's still useful to have! Nice video, sir!

I picked up a copy a few days ago. Great video for the beginner Star Wars Game Master, thanks.

[ElwoodShort]

Very helpful thanks. I have totally forgotten how this game works [decades since I last played it], so this was a very nice refresher.

Thanks for uploading this tutorial. I plan to run a Luke Skywalker New Jedi Order themed campaign with this and all the players will be new Padawans.

It's that time of year!😝
Thanks for the vid! :D

My character, Captain Vertigo, was the terror of the table. I was half-droid, half revolutionary. Hated the Empire, not too cool with the rebels, went into business for himself. At the end had better blaster skill than Han Solo, but it didn`t matter because Jedi. Don`t have an arch-enemy that has mad force powers in this game. You will lose in the long run.

Oddly the spiritual successor of the ghostbusters RPG.

What about movement and multiple actions?

[mytzlplk]

I am looking for an online campaign for this. Any suggestions for a returning PnP RPG player (30 years ago) returning to finally play WEG-style Star Wars? I'd be a first time player to PnP Star Wars. Where should I look for a DM to run a newbie-friendly campaign online?

Why would he not know what the weather is? He rolled a 7.

I was thinking about using the system for an RPG that is not star wars

4D on blaster for the stormtrooper? Bollocks. I was hoping to put together a D6 SW:RPG campaign up and going, but it didn't happen.
