INTRODUCTION

GAMERS is a roleplaying game harking back to the simple days of gaming. It requires pencil, paper, and five six-sided dice per player. It's the generic version of the Six-Letter System, a series of games with the same mechanics, only the names of the basic six attributes changed, and all given six-letter titles which are mnemonics for those attributes.

The system aims to be simple and clear, with rules and trait descriptions written in 25 words or less.

Presented here is the basic system. An expanded system with an alternate combat system, and appendix detailing tests on how to make yourself as a character, can be found in the download version.

DICE SYSTEM

Dice checks are 2d6. "Difficulty 5+” means you must roll 5 or more on 2d6 to succeed. Dice modifiers are written “DM+2”, meaning, “add 2 to the roll.”
