Coming up to the last 2.5 days. £4k breached, second stretch goal reached and 180 backers.

It's still needs a good push to get this up to seeing the setting book PDF for free, but it's looking possible.

Especially as there has been a bit of a surge today.  Less than £700 needed and 42 hours to go...

This is looking more and more interesting. I am a tad unsure about D6 for S&S, but the setting sounds cinematic and unusual. I definitely like the Alulim with their tremendous towers and sprawling mansions.

Has anyone used D6 for S&S?

S&S has pulp roots that aren't too different from Star Wars in sensibilities TBH with its pulp action and competent yet not superheroic characters.

With the added options in combat, less character points but still high powered fate points, and the magic system, it seems like it is also tailored to S&S specifically too.

EDIT: less than £500 to go to two books and over 24 hours to do it!

I haven't, but presumably someone has.

D6 Fantasy isn't designed for just S&S, but for all types of fantasy RPGs with a particular focus on D&D style fantasy.

I wasn't that impressed with D6 Fantasy TBH. It seemed to be of the school of thought that what D6 needed was more complexity and options, much like the path Star Wars 2e R&E took, rather than embracing its simplicity like Star Wars 1e and Mini-6 (and Sorcerers of Ur-Turuk) do.

I do hope we see the Introduction Chapter and more artwork before the end. It's not often that an RPG artist is one who has had his work displayed in a national art gallery or done a portrait of members of the royal family :)

Fair enough. Like D6 Space, it is an outgrowth of 2E R&E.

You find that the exact cost when you put in your pledge. KS changed that aspect recently. It was 9 pounds to NZ IIRC and it ships out of the UK.

I am guessing that shipping of the setting book, if you decide to grab the discounted POD will be at a similar rate.
