Mini Six Notes

I've flirted with the idea of producing a Mini Six Revised for half a decade now. There have been personal issues and issues regarding my coauthor, Phil, which have hampered the project. Here's the thing. Mini Six accomplished its primary goal. At the time that Mini Six was published, Phil and I felt like we were racing the clock to preserve a legacy. The (former) owner of West End Games had grand ambitions to release the D6 system under the OGL, but the last vestiges of WEG seemed to be rapidly crumbling. There was a plan by WEG to release the OpenD6 Trademark License, which was the last legal minutia which was required for third-party publishers to carry on. Early summer turned to Gen Con time, then fall came, and things seemed bleaker at WEG by the week. By December, we had a plan. Mini Six was published because we feared that the Trademark License might not end up being released before the lights went out at WEG forever, leaving D6 / OpenD6 in limbo. So, we thought

What does the OGL 1.1 drama mean for OpenD6 and the future of Mini Six?

Update 1/9/23: Regarding the question "Who owns OpenD6?" from a previous post. I've included this edit there as well, but also want to post it here to make sure everyone sees it. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me or provided guidance concerning ownership of OpenD6. The short answer is that Nocturnal Media is still the owner of WEG/D6/OpenD6.

Please do not reach out to anyone or send any messages on my behalf. I respect the privacy of all involved and don't want to annoy anyone. I'm happy to receive any news regarding the status of OpenD6 from the owner or anyone authorized to speak for them should they choose to communicate publicly or privately. It's obvious that until things become official and clear r

Thank you for staying tuned.

The most important thing to share right now is that I don't have any significant news to share about Mini Six Revised. Last year, I made an attempt at finally doing it, and it turned into another project completely, so far removed from Mini Six that it's something else entirely. I don't think the world really needs another multi-purpose RPG engine right now, at least not by me, so I shelved that and started over. And every time I get to work on Mini Six, I end up right back at that unintentional diversion again and again, like it's a magnet that keeps drawing me in. I still have cognitive issues which means that I work slowly. For those who used to spot me elsewhere on the internet, you may have noticed my greatly reduced presence. It's not like I have nothing done for Mini Six, but it's far from being enough to justify a new edition right now. The rest of this is personal, so feel free to skip it. Most important is a family emergency which has me conc
