Tiny Dungeon

Tiny Dungeon (TinyD6) is a rules‑lite fantasy RPG that runs on simple 2d6 tests with advantage/disadvantage. Characters are classless and trait‑driven, so you can teach, build, and start adventuring in minutes. Low prep and clear procedures keep the focus on creative choices, not build math—ideal for one‑shots, new groups, and flexible campaign mash‑ups across the TinyD6 line.

Tiny Dungeon

Roll 2d6; any 5–6 is a success. Advantage = 3d6; disadvantage = 1d6.

Theme and Setting

Characters are built from traits plus a few simple choices (weapons, heritage, etc.). The system emphasizes quick rulings and consistent results over subsystems—combat, tests, and exploration all use the same core.

How Play Feels

TinyD6 keeps the cognitive load low without sacrificing fantasy flavor. Classless traits let you define concepts fast, and the unified test keeps turns snappy.
