Why on earth is the d20 logo on this page? Perhaps I am mistaken but I don't think the two systems are related except that they are both systems used for RPGs
Okay, here we can discuss editing plans. User:WBSparks 10:46pm 10/03/06 (MST)
I've removed the D6 image; this article is about the sytem, not the die. User:Segsegreyjanra holds that "D6 Die image is relevant to this article as the Game System uses SIX SIDED DICE IN THE GAME"; but that's true of the bulk of RPGs, board games and wargames. Shall we add a D6 image to every game in wikipedia? No. Percy Snoodle 10:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Not sure how that cover is any more relevant to this article than the image of the 6-sider dice. D6 has nothing to do with SW other than a similarity to the system used when WEG had the license for it.
There is a category page for D6 System games that is virtually empty. It seems to me that this list should be moved to that page, and more specific information about those games put onto their own pages.
I understand the motive behind including this section, but it should integrated as prose, not simply listed. That's what the category page is for. hupersonity 7:37pm MT June 23, 2006
I've put together most of the content on this page and the other pages in the D6 System from my own knowledge and posts to the WEG forums (yes, that is me keeping that wiki thread alive). - Segsegreyjanra June 26, 2006.
I found some of the other RPGs for WEG already created, they just lacked the Category:D6 System tag to add them to the list. Several need work including Bloodshadows, Fires of Amatsumara, and DC Universe. At least two don't exist yet (MIB and Hercules & Xena). - Segsegreyjanra June 27, 2006.
I was the one who, as WBSparks [unusuable username, hence the change] got the ball rolling on this page. There wasn't much to speak of prior to that, and I managed to get some D6 people interested in contributing.
The initial write-up was done by a fellow named Maur on the WEG forums, who I don't think ever registered a username. I was very grateful for his efforts, so I didn't say anything about the way it had been put together, but I now think that most of the objections I've seen from users like Snoodle can be pinned on the general structure of the article. For example, his beef with the dice image would probably not exist if the importance of the dice was properly explained in the artcle.
So I'm going to take it on myself to complete re-structure and re-write the article, and when finished I'll run it past you all and hopefully it'll be well-recieved.
In general, I'm going to try to move away from the lists and incomplete sections, and produce more of an encyclopedic style of article. But, because of WEG's bankruptcy and losing the SW licence, among some other things, exactly what constitutes "D6 System" can be a point of contention.
For those of us who've been using D6 since the 80s, it's pretty clear that, for example, the SW rpg, is the same system. But it needs to be explained properly in the article, so that users like Snoodle, who are more concerned with general RPG article maintainance than with D6, are able to come in and make meaningful judgements. - hupersonity 12:50pm MT June 24, 2006
Have fun. - Segsegreyjanra June 26, 2006.
The "History" section is, on my screen, 17 lines of unbroken text. It needs to be divided up into at least two paragraphs, and ideally three. -- Peter Knutsen 17:30, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a mention of shadowrun here? The versions I played all used 6 sided dice exclusively, with 1 being failure and 6 being a "roll again" totalling. 176.11.164.216 ( talk)
