This year, 6d6 have attended five events with a trade table since May. We have spent the best part of a £1000 on travel, accommodation and other costs. Yet we have only sold about £500 worth of goods. So has it been worth it, will we be doing it again and should other small publishers [...]

Dragonmeet is London’s premier (only?) gaming convention. It attracts some 700+ people to the Kensington Town Hall in central London for one day of gaming and shopping in equal measure.

Oddon 2010 was the first con we attended as 6d6 and we ran our first demonstration games of Outbreak! (see last year’s write-up). This year, it is the first convention we’ve attended since the [...]

The 6d6 Core rule set has been reviewed on Geekcentricity. Now with that said, let me talk about the game play itself: 6d6 is a very smooth engine, and undeniably fun to play. The mechanics are like a well-oiled machine once you get used to them, and the way in which the game streamlines clunky [...]
