"As part of a team of CIA operatives, you must infiltrate a remote terrorist base in the Middle East and recover stolen bio-warfare files. The Guardians of Time have asked you and your companions to leap into the past to prevent the death of King Thom before he institutes a peace treaty with a long-time enemy... Your elite spacetrooper unit has less than twenty hours to fly into the heart of the dangerous Tanni Nebula and disable a strategic sensor outpost before the first battle of the Grand War begins... The Tomb of Ulu has finally been found after five millennia, and only your group is daring enough to brave its unknown horrors to retrieve the Sacred Staff of Zasha... The D6 System allows you to play adventures in these or any other game setting — from high fantasy to space opera — using the same rules. For each world you can create a specially modified set of mechanics that reflects the tone and feel of that genre. Choose a combat resolution method, create a character template, or even design your own psychic power system. D6 lets you do it all! All you need are some six-sided dice and your imagination!

"Combining the best of over 15 years of D6 System design, each D6 System rulebook provides you with the basics for playing in a wide range of settings: classic fantasy, modern adventure, and futuristic science fiction. You'll get everything you need to add the popular D6 System to your favorite setting, including: three different yet compatible methods for creating characters - customizing pre-constructed templates, using defined dice distribution limits, and distributing a pool of points; over 80 character options that allow you to further personalize your character; your choice of damage systems, both equally interchangeable with a single combat system; detailed rules for extranormal abilities (magic, psionics, and more); dozens of generic equipment and character examples tailored to each genre to get you started in your adventures; the essential rules separated from the optional rules, to allow you to decide on the level of complexity; game engines that have genre-specific features, yet are compatible with each other. Each rulebook includes an introduction to using the book and the system, a solo adventure to test out the rules, and "what's in this chapter" introductions to help you locate the information you need. This set contains three rulebooks - D6 Adventure, D6 Space, D6 Fantasy - a screen loaded with commonly referenced information, and a booklet filled with campaign and conversion tips, all in a handy slipcase. The screen also displays the combined panoramic image of the rulebook covers. One Die, Infinite Possibilities!" 2004 ... WEG 51014 ...

CONTENTS: * rules booklet * 200 counters * 22" x 34" game map * counter tray "DRUID is a vivid simulation of Boudicca's Rebellion, a fast-paced game of ancient "guerilla warfare." Barbarian and Roman players battle across first-century Britain, burning villages and sacking towns. The undisiplined Britons are initially strong, but must rally the disparate tribes of the island in revolt against the well-trained legions of Imperial Rome. The Roman forces begin as weak, but can call on powerful reinforcements. The Britons must hit cities and melt into the vast forests of the island where they cannot be found by Rome's legionaries. A wealth of "chrome" rules make the game interesting and provide repeated play value; rules are provided for tribal revolts, hidden deployment, legion activation, Druid Invocation, and beserk units. An unusual game on an unusual topic, DRUID proves the claim that some of history's least known conflicts can make some of the best games." 1984 ... Richard Berg ...

"Web and Starship is a strategic space game, in which Earth is caught between two races. The Gwynhyfarr, who roam the galaxy in faster-than-light starships, and the Pereen, who link their planets together in a trans-dimensional "web" which permits instantaneous movement from one system to another. Earth is weak and lies directly between its two opponents, but its society is vigorous and expanding. They can use technologies of both other races." 1984 ...

The game-map portrays the whole Roman world, from Britannia to Parthia, in exacting detail, and the 800 game counters depict individual legions, fleets, and auxiliary units. The thirty-five scenarios examine every major Roman war, civil and external, through 700 years that shaped the Western World.

More accurate, informative and attractive maps, an increase in the number of unit colors and types, rules substantially revised with an eye to readability, clarity, and historical accuracy, and the addition of new scenarios (and the elimination of some older ones) are just some of the improvements players will find in this thorough revision." 1985 ...
