    It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

    I'd assume it would be a system that uses six-sided dice (d6s, if you will) as its main randomising factor.

    D6 is the system that West End Games developed for Star Wars back when they had the license.

    The D6 system is insanely easy to use and learn and can do practically anything.

    It's definately worth taking a look at, if only just to glance through.
    It doesn't matter what game you're playing as long as you're having fun.

    Free downloads of the system that was the basis for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones RPGs? Of what possible interest could this be?

    I'm quite willing to take a look at it, but their server is sloooooow, if they put all those files into a torrent I would probably have them by now.

    What's next? Schrödinger equation? HΨ=EΨ? Seriously WTF?
