A Tiny 2d6 RPG System - Tinny Dungeons - One Shot Adventure and Campaign Setting

[@DougCoughler]

For the challenges, it says "Success is achieved if the roll ON ANY DIE equals or exceeds the difficulty class...". I take that to mean you take the highest result. So Brother Lactarius rolled a 6, not a 7 to persuade the guard. This is similar to Powered by the Apocalypse systems. This also makes me wonder if the combat isn't supposed to work the same way, although the wording on the card for combat isn't as obvious.

[@WallyDM]

Oh snap. You are 100% correct, I totally misinterpreted how it works with 2d6. Yep, you are supposed to roll and take the highest of the rolls, not the sum of them. Thank you!

[@DougCoughler]

@@WallyDM No worries! It looks like a great little game!

[@NickLinneyDev]

This looks like a great gift product. I really like this. I'm a fan of simplicity.

[@WallyDM]

Me too! I'm always on the lookout for interesting gift ideas. Cheers!

[@RIVERSRPGChannel]

Interesting It would be good to take along on a trip or something like that where you don’t want to lug all the books around

[@WallyDM]

Yup, agreed. Thanks Rivers!

[@joshlegendre]

What a cool pocket rpg! Thanks for going through the mechanics!

[@WallyDM]

You bet! Although, I did get the 2d6 mechanic wrong in the video, I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Cheers!

[@lemonZzzzs]

this is pretty cool! Condensed really well, everything explained clearly... Going to pick that up probably... it's easy to expand upon too

[@WallyDM]

Glad you liked it! If you pick it up, be sure to read the PINNED comment. I was incorrect in explaining how the 2d6 results are interpreted. Supposed to roll two and take the highest, not add for a total. I totally missed that. lol. Thank you for watching. Cheers!

[@lemonZzzzs]

@@WallyDM I did, the any die success makes more sense to me, actually.

[@Elohist2009]

This feels like early dnd, where +1 magic weapons really made a big difference.

[@WallyDM]

Agreed!

[@greatmoustache8731]

Fun little game setup all in a tin. Heart is nice and crisp, helps give some good inspiration. Thanks for breaking it all down and sharing it, plus a discount code is always cool! Looks like you are suppose to take the highest and not add the dice if you are rolling more than 1 die.

[@WallyDM]

lol, yep. I flubbed up the rules pretty good, lol. Glad everyone was able to catch that. But yeah, really neat little item. Cheers, my friend!

[@cadenceclearwater4340]

Got a bunch of the pencil-dice after your other vid. Very cool for birthdays 🎂 🥳

[@WallyDM]

Exactly! Really cool gift idea. Cheers, my friend!

[@minimoose7890]

Interesting product. Though I need a magnifying lens to come in the tin, lol

[@WallyDM]

lol, some of them are a bit tiny, for sure, lol. Cheers!

[@mattnerdy7236]

Hey Wally, I like it especially the name 😁 I think this set would be great for introducing kids to D&D. It's rules light and has that D&D feel. Thanks Wally you have a wonderful day!

[@WallyDM]

Absolutely! It's a really cool, easy to learn, simple system (even though I messed up the rules already, lol.). Thanks for watching Matt, cheers!

[@jorgeroblesreyes9254]

yeah there is other ttrpg

[@b.lloydreese2030]

That's so cool!

[@WallyDM]

Indeed! Thank you for watching. :-)

[@Shards-of-Narsil]

This was the minimalist RPG I've been looking for, for literal years. I took a chance and it paid off in a big way. Love this product. My quick and dirty hack is to use HD = HP for monsters, now you have the entirety of the OSR at your finger tips for adversaries.

[@WallyDM]

Glad I could help point you to the Tinny Dungeons. It really is a cool little system. By the way, did you watch my Tiny RPG UPDATE video? It corrects an error that I made with regards to rolling 2d6. Be sure to give it a watch for a rules clarification. Also, the HD = HP is GENIUS! That is an amazing idea and I'm gonna use it, lol. Cheers!

[@TheGladGolem]

Hey Shards, can you explain this monster conversion further? I’d like to use OSR monsters.

[@RollforDrama]

I just got mine 3 days ago! Did a video for it but yours is way better!(mint not uploaded yet)

[@WallyDM]

Thank you, but I'm sure your video is just fine. :-) Let me know when you upload it and I'll check it out. Cheers!

The maps looks to be made with Watabou's tools :)

[@TheAlexandreBoivin]

110% they are for shure made with his tools, I wonder if he's credited 🤔

[@WallyDM]

I never heard of Watabou's tools before. I'm gonna check it out. Thank you for the reference!

[@WallyDM]

@@TheAlexandreBoivinYep. Watabou is credited in the description of the product page.

[@HowtoRPG]

Thanks Wally.

[@johnharrison2086]

I have the 1.1 version. Interestingly because of the extra cards the lid doesn't fit securely with the dice in the tin!

[@WallyDM]

Oh wow, no kidding. Interesting indeed!

[@IsItLunchtimeYet-1]

Get smaller dice lol

[@Neshoba1337]

With a name like Tinny Dungeon im certain it was inspired by Tiny Dungeon, strangely enough it has DCs that looks like it comes from Advanced Tiny Dungeon. All of this to say, i like it

[@raixuh]

A campaing divided by cards, ao bds interesting, like having races cards, monster cards, location cards and item cards 🤔

[@retrodmray]

Cool! 🤓👊

[@dr.feargood2669]

Very unique! I like the idea a lot but I would have to convert to dnd. On second thoughts this would be a great item for traveling.

[@WallyDM]

Exactly. Such a cool little gift idea for the DM that has almost everything. Cheers, my friend!

[@isazainal778]

I was browsing etsy last few weeks and saw this on the store and was curious what is inside this feels like light dnd and it's ok for dnd players especially for kids to play. In my honest opinion this small dnd kit feels overpriced ($50+ Sgd) some of the cards have the free map asset and the character portrait doesn't match the vibe, one is a empty blank on a background and the other have a colourful background

[@WallyDM]

It is a bit pricy, but where this item really shines is as a neat-o gift idea. The kind of item you might not buy for yourself, but are excited to buy for someone (or receive) as a gift. And, I didn't notice the art, I'll have to go back and check it out. Thank you for pointing things out Isa, Cheers! 🙂

[@RichardChappell1]

That's an understatement. The retail on the material costs of the product should be under $5 (US), so pricing at $33 is outrageous. A1 $10 or 12, it would be reasonable with a good profit margin. It looks kind of cool, but there are so many better options at that pricing.

[@123JumpingJacks]

Just payed for mine. I think I am going to play solo. Sound doable?

[@WallyDM]

Absolutely. I think so. Have fun with it!

[@revtwilight9308]

You walk into a room and see a table in the center a golem sitting there and it warmly welecomes you in it shows you various fruits and vegetables and says make me a fruit salad you fail if you miss any fruits provided or use a tomato allow checks for seeing what is what if youd like

[@IsItLunchtimeYet-1]

How do you create a character though?

[@WallyDM]

Ya know, I'm not really sure, lol. Great question!

[@IsItLunchtimeYet-1]

@@WallyDM They should definitely put that in a future update lol

[@WallyDM]

@@IsItLunchtimeYet-1 absolutely, lol

[@thundreturtle]

It's a cool gift but this is not Tiny D6 :D , it's misspelled on the tin with the extra 'n' , cool concept though.

[@blahhhblahhh1829]

Are the images ai generated?

[@StarContract]

1 thing I don't get about such games. Didn't mobile apps made these obsolete? At the very least for single player games, your phone can contain such game and more, without you having to carry print or purchase anything physical.

[@WallyDM]

lots of folks still like physical "things" you can buy to use and/or collect. Same reason video games still sell a physical cartridge and why books are still printed and not just PDF.

[@ObsidianKnight90]

45$ CAD for this is way too expensive. Adorablins is 16$ CAD and has more components, then there are comparable ultra tiny dungeon crawlers like Tin Helm / Tin Realm and Deck Box Dungeons which cost quite a bit less, or the somewhat larger dungeon crawler adventure games like Tiny Epic Dungeons and One Deck Dungeon that are still usually cheaper. I think the upcoming Gloomhaven: Buttons and Bugs will be quite a bit cheaper as well. The layout of the character cards also need a lot of work; too much blank space and vague character mechanics. Overall it's an interesting idea but there are so many other things I'd recommend over this.

[@baitposter]

Not to be confused with Tiny Dungeon?

[@WallyDM]

Exactly ;-)
