Since I'm designing my own system (yet another one, but years in the making), I've read a lot of systems, yet this one is so straight forward and well written - its concept is plain fun but the maths are a bit odd.
Chance of success without Focus
Disadvantage: 33% (-23%)
Normal: 56%
Advantage: 70% (+14%)
Chance of success with Focus
Disadvantage: 50% (-25%)
Normal: 75%
Advantage: 87.5% (+12.5%)
So, I use a single d12 instead where you must get at least 7 (+2 if Disadvantage, -2 if Advantage, -1 if Focused) to succeed.
Disadvantage without focus 9+: 33%
Normal without focus 7+: 50%
Advantage without focus 5+: 67%
Disadvantage with focus 8+: 5/12 = 42%
Normal with focus 6+: 7/12 = 58%
Advantage with focus 4+: 9/12 = 75%
And complication is on the one on a separate d6 throw along the d12.
Or, using a single d12 where you must get at least 6,7,8 for weak, average, strong then adjusted by +2 on Disadvantage, -2 on Advantage and -1 when Focused. And contextual complications / eases are on the one on a separate d6 thrown along the d12; when one occurs, throw again: odd means complication (eg. you broke your elbow or your bow) and even means ease (you get an extra action or you found a cool item).
Or, using a single d12 where you must get at least 8,7,6 for each attribute that is respectively one of weak, average (default), strong then adjusted by +2 on Disadvantage, -2 on Advantage and -1 when Focused. And contextual complications / eases are on the one on a separate d6 thrown along the d12; when one occurs, throw again: odd means complication (eg. you broke your elbow or your bow) and even means ease (you get an extra action or you found a cool item).
The Six Attributes: Agility, Dexterity, Constitution, Strength, Perception, Social, Intellect, Wit (spirit, wisdom)
Example Abilities: See in the dark, Animal (a clone of your consciousness takes control of an animal (one at a time); you possess it until you decide to stop or until it dies)

One of my favorite ttrpgs. It’s quick to learn and perfect for groups that don’t have a lot of time to play or don’t have enough people available to play their normal game. I carry a physical copy in my bag because it’s great for on the spot gaming.

This game is Frickin Awesome!!!! You can play a Badass, Kung-Fu Master, Veteran, Driver, Hacker or the Grizzled Leader who’s equipment includes a chomped on and bitten cigar! Need I say more?

Love the year zero engine, and this game has so many scenarios that can be played from pulp literature. The “pushing your luck” mechanic ramps up any scenario into a laugh out loud and edge of your seat romp. My players love it!

Tiny Dungeon is great! Super easy to jump into a game, and probably my favorite system to easily customize a character just the way I like.

You need a set of 13 cards for each duelist. The excellent quality of the cards made this purchase a must-have for me and I promptly ordered a second set.

Lighthearted takes familiar tropes and makes something that manages to feel entirely unique. The system of magic pulling from the rainbow light spectrum is such a cool idea, and I adore that you start with a trope but the goal is for your character to discover themself. The 80's community college setting is also really fun and makes it stand out from other witch school games. Also, how cool is the original music? I haven't played this yet, but from just reading it, it seems well thought out and easy to play. The art is awesome, too.

I've been playing a campaign set in this universe for almost two years now. I've had the pleasure of having the author himself GM the campaign along with some old high school friends as well as new friends I've met along the way. I was a bit skeptical at first I'm not one to combine genres or foods. I don't believe in fusion. My English breakfast should not be combined with my late night Thai. But this works. It really does. Metaphorically speaking, if you're looking down from orbit, the old lands we associate with Vikings resemble the Wild West. The time and technology has changed, but one can picture the path from there to here. Our group used to error on the side of dice rolling and bigger as better. This was one of the campaigns that actually made us roleplay our characters more than just who had the biggest gun or sword. We had a skald, a valkyrie, a berserker, and a gunslinger amongst others. There has been dice rolling and situations forcing us to actually play our characters. There has been PC deaths. We've gone from being schmucks to being schmucks that the powers that be are using in their games with the Norse gods. If you're a fan of the Norse setting, if you liked The Last Kingdom and Vikings, if you like the old west or the Werewolf: The Wild West setting, I can't recommend this enough. To the previous reviewer, I 100% agree with the idea of including some maps of the setting. We've used a pretty detailed map in our game that the author created after this was initially published. I think the next version would be even better if a version of that map was included to flesh out the setting. Just to complete the full disclosure, I'm a friend of the author, but I'm also a dick and I call things as I see them. This was my first Savage Worlds game and it's led me down quite the awesome rabbit hole.

Ran my first session as a GM in- well, a very long time, and this module was a big hit. This adventure is also a good way to break the D&D-based habit of using magic to get out of everything, as magic in TinyD6 is far more subtle.
It's not difficult to make this module a mission in your own universe.

These are pretty nice to use, and my players loved them. I just got the chance to run Tiny Dungeon 2e, and I wanted to make the barrier to entry as low as possible for my new players. These quick start characters were really helpful to facilitate that. All of them seem pretty well designed, and my players appreciated the options and how quick it was spin them up, but they did find some embarrassing typos on the Berserker and the Scoundrel that are very easily copy/paste issues. Good otherwise.

This is a wonderful addition/modification to the base TinyD6 system and has items I have taken over to other of the Tinyd6 versions beyond Tiny Dungeons.
It's 4 stars because I feel like it could use more polish that it hasn't been given despite being a massive improvement on the base system for playing long form games.

The best rule lite TRPG I've ever read. Very clear book. Super easy to run and understand. My son, 10 years old, who's addicted to computer games finally joined our table and was hooked to the game. We played two sessions in two weeks and he wanted more. I'm a happy dad. This didn't happen with D&D. I believe the Tiny D6 did it. It's just right for our family. I ran it five times in two weeks for my friends and family and every one was hooked. Strongly recommended.

Decent adventure and background. I like it.
Sadly -1 star because as the system and mechanics are not fully explained this would not be suited as intro/quickstart to the d6 system.
