Minimal OpenD6 is a System Reference Document (SRD) based on Mini Six, from AnitiPaladin Games, used in accordance with the Mini Six Standard Trademark License and the Open Game License used with OpenD6.
First of all, if you just want a copy of Mini Six to read, please download the original for free or buy the print version, both from DriveThruRPG. It is much nicer looking than anything included in this SRD, and packs an impressive amount in its densely formatted 38 pages.
However, if you want to produce a custom version of rules based on Mini Six, this SRD may be a better starting point, whether you just want to incorporate your house rules or want to produce a completely new game. It provides:
- reStructuredText source for the open content from Mini Six and the “Mini Six Standard Trademark License”.
- A GNU makefile for producing output from the source.
- pandoc templates and a filter for massaging some of the output formats for better output.
- Simple PDF, HTML, EPUB,
.mobi,.rtf, Microsoft Word.docx, and OpenOffice/LibreOffice.odt(ODT)_ output for the SRD, for those who would rather start with one of those formats and not bother with using pandoc themselves. - Markdown source, converted from the reStructuredText source by pandoc.
Using pandoc, the reStructuredText source can also be transformed into other source and output formats, if there is another that you prefer. For example, pandoc can transform reStructuredText into asciidoc.
Starting with Minimal OpenD6 is an advantage if you want to start with a simple base and add just what you want, rather than starting with the full OpenD6 and cutting out what you don't want.
Pre-built output is found in the output directory, or you can download all the pre-built output formats from the releases page.
If you just want the output files without any of the stuff used to build them, look at the releases page in the repository for a zip file.
