[ +- ] Safety Tools:
These tools are to help when you feel Rule #1 isn't working
The X-Card
The X-Card is an optional tool that allows anyone in a game to request an edit of any content anyone is uncomfortable with as you play. Since most RPGs are improvisational and we won't know what will happen till it happens, it's possible the game will go in a direction people don't want. An X-Card is a simple tool to fix problems as they arise. If anyone at any point is uncomfortable with where a scene is going or with something mentioned you can simply post an X-Card, linked to this post, in any thread (or send it to me privately).
Lines & Veils
Lines and Veils are a safety tool that makes sure people can list things they don't want included in the game for whatever reason.
A Line describes something you don't want mentioned as part of the game at all, not 'on screen' and not in the narrative background. A Veil is something you don't want to see happen 'on-screen' but that you are fine with being included in the background.Example: torture - If someone were to have a problem with torture, they can indicate that on the sheet.
If someone lists torture as a veil it will be mentioned but no details or description posted.
If someone indicates it as a Line, there will be no mention of or allusion to torture. Instead, you might simply be told that the person gave that information out in an interrogation.

[ +- ] DM Lines & Veils
Line: Sexual Content: Explicit content is absolutely prohibited. This not only includes obvious direct comments but more subtle acts and comments that are of a sexual nature.
Veil: Language: Keep it PG-13 and we’ll be fine.
Veil: Violence : There is often conflict and combat in this game but graphic, gory, and unneeded details should be omitted. They are not needed for the story or game itself.

This is a game. It is supposed to be fun. The rule are only to help us know how to work together to have fun. If it isn't fun, something is wrong and we need to fix it.
Basic system rules are listed in the "What is TinyD6?" thread
House Rules & how I run the game
Have fun
Play the character
You can try and do anything.
Yes you can try and jump 50', but if you character does not have a Trait to enhance basic jumping/movement then they likely will not even be able to touch the far side.

Now that you are familiar with the basics you have a couple options
1 : Go ahead and look at the setting information if you like, which describe the world you will be playing in. Then go create your character.
or
2. Go straight to character creation. If you want help creating your character just create a character sheet and save it. Then submit that sheet to my game and I can help you fill it out.
