Roll 2d6 — if any die shows 5 or 6, you succeed. Advantage grants 3d6; Disadvantage drops you to 1d6. No attributes, no skill list — Traits grant situational Advantage, and weapon Mastery/Proficiency determines combat dice.
Best For
Groups wanting fast, minimalist fantasy with almost zero rules overhead — character creation in minutes, core mechanic in one sentence, and tons of optional modules to bolt on.
Highlights
Entire core rules fit in ~20 pages, character fits on an index card, huge trait list for customization without complexity, 17 included microsettings, extensive optional rules (martial disciplines, magic schools, ship combat) let you dial complexity up
Considerations
Binary pass/fail with no degrees of success, fantasy-only (other TinyD6 games cover sci-fi), no built-in advancement by default (optional), very light on tactical depth
