The D6 System was first published by West End Games in the 1986 Ghostbusters RPG. It saw use in several licensed titles by that publisher, most notably the Star Wars RPG from 1986 to 1998, when the company experienced financial trouble that cost them all of their licensed products. The company changed hands, eventually coming under the ownership of Eric Gibson in 2004 and releasing a series of “generic” core books not tied to a specific licensed property or game world. Gibson continued publishing the D6 System and other titles until 2009, when he officially released a number of existing D6 System “core” products under the terms of the Open Gaming License. In 2010, Gibson generously allowed not only the free and open development and distribution of the D6 System by the community, but the use of the Open D6 trademark.

The Open D6 core books released under the terms of the Open Gaming License are now available for free download or to read online here at Critical Press Media. We hope you enjoy this great game as much as we have. Check back for new and original products using Open D6!
