6Q SYSTEM SRD - Powered by FU
A downloadable TTRPG
The 6Q System SRD - a lightning-fast, setting-neutral TTRPG that gets you playing in minutes!
Answer just six questions to create compelling characters, then dive into any world or story that inspires you. The 6Q System is perfect for newcomers and veteran roleplayers and adaptable to any genre, from fantasy to sci-fi and beyond.
What you need:
- A few six-sided dice (two colours)
- Writing materials
- Your imagination (and ideally, a few friends)
Embark on a quick adventure, transforming your favourite books, movies, or TV shows into fun tabletop roleplaying experiences!
Why I think it is fun:
- Intuitive mechanics that keep the focus on the narrative
- Supports both group play and solo adventures
- Conflict resolution that balances risk and reward
- Fun GM Tools to quickly create a scenario
The entire ruleset fits on two pages, making it ideal for spontaneous gaming sessions or introducing new players to tabletop roleplaying.
The 6Q System SRD is released under a CC BY 4.0 license, which means you're free to use it, hack it, and build on it however you like. It's not just a game - think of it as a toolbox or a starting point for your own creations.
Want to tweak the rules for your home game? Go for it. Building a whole new RPG and need a simple core to build on? 6Q might be just what you're looking for. You could even use it as a springboard for designing your own system from scratch.
If you do end up using 6Q in some way, I'd love to hear about it. Not because I need credit, but because I'm genuinely curious to see what cool stuff people come up with. So yeah, have fun with it, and maybe drop me a line on my Discord or in the comments below if you make something you're proud of!

seems nice and simple!
Thank you.
A nice distillation of the Freeform Universal rules. I do think that the "Harm" portion of the game should have some explanation or guidance. I assume the idea is to stat out NPCs with some variation of hitpoints, toughness, or challenge? Or use it as a measure of effect for boons & banes?
Thank you for the kind words. It is loose in that regard. I imagine enemies having a harm track and various Traits, whatever you deem necessary. And those Traits generate Threat dice for the PC.
With the added GM Page and some revisions to the text this is hopefully much clearer!
Elegant, streamlined merging of character and system, with character questions adding some focused depth (much like the cliches in S. John Ross' Risus) and the yes/no-and/but d6 mechanic using Action/Threat dice.
Thank you so much for checking out my game Peter!
