Having played D&D for over 17 years and then seeing this... OMG. This seems to be without a doubt the best RPG system to date. Although I haven't yet had a chance to try it out first hand, I feel my desire to play D&D in the future has dropped to 0 and my desire to play this is at 1000. Thank you so much DMScotty. You have completely changed the RPG world forever and for the better in a huge way

[@theDMsCraft]

I am right there with you.

[@BanjoSick]

Having played D&D for 17 years!?!?!!?! That tells me lots about you, man. Who would last that long? Played D&D for like a year and was on lookout for smthg better right of the bat. I was so obviously bad, and that was AD&D 2nd Edition, mind you. EZD6 is very competent but the best system ever, come on?!

[@bobhill-ol7wp]

You should try forbidden lands

[@jcraigwilliams70]

I'd love to hear more about non-damaging spells. Things like charms, sleep spells, turning someone to stone/ a frog/ whatever, invisibility, mind-reading, precognition, and things like that. Just to have a bit more of an idea of how to handle them.

[@theDMsCraft]

A good topic

[@jcraigwilliams70]

@@theDMsCraft yeah, even just a comment with a few examples ("this effect= this much resistance and will do *this* if successful") would be great.

[@connorshartle3383]

Maybe you can affect 1 strike worth per power dice used to cast, like affecting based on HD, the caveat is that each roll has to be successful to affect the strike. E.g. You could cast sleep on 6 dreks and only one roll needs to meet the resistance, but on 6 gorgwargs you need two rolls to meet resistance. This also limits these sorts of spells to affecting things with 3 strikes, which integrates balance against super cheesing bossier monsters.

Thanks Scotty! Personally had no concerns about the magic system, I thought it was very clearly explained in the book and was very well designed. This video however, was super helpful nonetheless. Cheers!

A quick read of how to play left me unsure about magic. This was a great explanation.

[@jasonbostwick8761]

I like the idea of situational magic that works in the moment, but might not, like Presto and his hat in the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. He always tried to conjure something helpful sometimes it worked often it didn’t. The risk was part of the fun for us to watch I imagine it will be awesome in play as a character.

[@theDMsCraft]

Yeah, rolling for magick takes away the "win" button and keeps it exciting and unpredictable. Situational magick gets a player out of the spell list mentality and into what is happening in the game.

[@gmscott9319]

I started playing RPGs in 1982 with AD&D. I've played 100's of different RPGs, d20, 3d6, d6 pools. d10 pools, percentile, narrative dice, and even no dice. Over the decades, I've settled on (and regularly run) my "crunchy" game of choice (pf2), but I also like to play rules-light systems from time to time, and this one just made my short list. Ordered!

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much.

[@Colonel-Sigma]

Tried this out with my friends a week ago. Man this system is so versatile it really is insane. I even set the adventure in a world that was not fantasy at all and it still translated. If you haven't already, give it a try. The magic in particular feels way more natural to use.

Also, check out my Wasted World book for even more goodies.

[@PaulGestwicki]

The rules were fun to read, but I was disappointed that the book didn't contain anything to use "out of the box" such as sample characters or a small adventure. This was one of the best parts of ICRPG: not just a small adventure, but also Trials, which give the curious DM something concrete to try with players. Given that the book is digitally distributed, are there any plans to add this kind of content?

Thank you very much for this video, l and thanks for making EZD6 in general. It was the first new rulebook that I bought this year, back in January. Luckily, I've run it at least once with minimal time for preparation and character creation. It really worked well, and I'll continue taking it to game nights for my groups. I agree that the magic chapter is often the part that breaks and ruins a game for me, or at least the part that takes for ever to explain to other players.

Give the players 4D6 and the Rabble Rouser 6D6

[@user-sr5iv9pp6p]

Im taking this system to shadow of the demon lord’s Freeport adventures, but i hope to use it for dungeon crawling aswell. Im curious to how the system effects players perception of risk/rewards of toe-to-toe combat vs using cunning and retreat. What the usual flow/loop when the system shines it’s best @scotty?

[@theDMsCraft]

Really depends on how hard you make it. More enemies and harder traps will eat up Karma quickly. Remember nothing is in the bag. Creatures and enemies can crit so players can be having a seemingly easy time of it and suddenly a monster crits several times. 3 strikes can make players be wary.

[@jcraigwilliams70]

Looking forward to picking this up. I really go back and forth on magic a lot... I like the idea of magic being primarily about warping reality, with "spells" made on the fly as needed. But other times, I really like the idea of the wizard in his library poring over thick spellbooks written in lost languages, so different systems appeal to me at different times. Does EZD6 assume all characters to be human, or does it include other races?

[@theDMsCraft]

It has all the classic species and all have game benefits. Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Goblin

[@michaellegg1631]

[@whangbar]

Great game.

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks so much!

[@PixPunxel]

I would like to hear how to handle the spells that effect the enemy indirectly. For example indestructable force field is erected around the players. It does not directly affect the monsters, so there is nothing to roll. But it prevents monsters from attacking players. Or ... continuing the example, a player casting magic armor.... How about making the whole party invisible ? Fly ? Teleport ... dimension door ? How do you handle spells that are very powerful but do not affect enemy directly ?

[@theDMsCraft]

First off, decide if a spell fits in a Circle of Sorcery. Most of those spells would not. The player must sell you the reason they can roll for a spell. For example, an Illusionist can not actually affect the material world. It is all an illusion inside the target's head. Although an illusionist could trick an enemy into a dangerous area. Someone who uses Arcane Bands can manipulate and grapple things but can not fly or teleport (that has nothing to do with the power). Scrolls are used to fill in many gaps so Conjurers can use a spell outside their Circle. A spell targeting the willing takes effect automatically unless the Conjurer rolls a 1. (or no roll in a situation where the party has plenty of time). A spell that doesn't target an enemy resists with a 1D6. (although more resistance dice could be rolled by the RR if in an area of chaotic magick)

[@PixPunxel]

@@theDMsCraft Thanks :) However you mention spell that targets willing target. Let say we have "Taransmuter" sorcerer, and he casts "Polymorf" on willing target, polymorfing a player into a T-Rex. This gives that player huge boost in power, but you suggest the difficulty of the spell is just 1d6? Or let say "Abjurer" sorcerer that casts "prismatic armor" that makes player immune to any sort of physical damage - would that spell not be hugely unproportional in cost to just 1d6 ? ( by the way I am deliberately trying to ask though questions in order to better understand your process )

[@magustorony]

As we're getting ready for our first EZD6 game on Friday (I'm running Death & Taxes for them), something came up regarding magic. Does a failed casting roll yield a karma for the player? I tried flipping through the book and find it in this video, but I think there is no ruling for that so far or I missed it. RAW it says you get a karma for all fails, however, since you can't use a karma to affect magic, should you get karma for failing to cast a spell?

[@theDMsCraft]

I award one...yes

[@briticalhit4987]

Scotty, what do you say to conjurers who want to cast outside their chosen circle? A blastmaster wanting to try their hand at illusionist stuff, for example. Is it "yes" but with a bane, or just a straight up "no"?

[@theDMsCraft]

I would say no. Scrolls help bridge that gap. Be sure to pass them out, and feel free to create your own to give out.

[@clintfockler1113]

Really like the free-form nature and simplicity of this magic system. But it also feels too safe and predictable to me. I'm tempted to mod in some kind of mercurial magic affects when casts fail with a 1. Something like Dungeon Crawl Classics, but without all of the huge lookup tables.

[@theDMsCraft]

EZD6 is infinitely modable.

[@Pepperpot666]

Hey, I just bought the PDF-version today and I have some troubles understanding the difficulty levels with miracles. With the example of ressurrecting a character, as a RR i throw like 6D6 ( example 1, 2, 2, 4,5, 6). Do I add them together or is is the maximum possible difficulty just 6 to beat, which would be like 16% of a single dice roll for the one asking for a miracle? This does not strike me as "too" hard.

[@theDMsCraft]

You just use the highest die, so the difficulty is a 6. Keep in mind karma can not be used on miracles or magick. So a difficult roll but not impossible.

Hey, Scotty. First of all, thank you for your work and for seeing the project through to the end. I have a question. When creating a character, do men choose one ability or do I have all of them? I mean, for example. The warrior has - Shield Sacrifice/Shield Sacrifice/Dual Weapons - does he have one or all of them?. How can he possibly learn more? I couldn't find it anywhere in the book. Aren't you going to release some pre-generated characters for demonstration? Greetings from the Czech Republic and thank you

[@pharbex]

Hey DM Scotty. I've started an EZD6 campaign with my Group. We really enjoyed the system. I just have a couple of questions concearning the shapeshifter. When one uses Mystic Barrier and tramsforms does the animal form keep the barrier? Does the player take hits when in animal form of medium animals? If so, how to deal with big animals with more than 3 hits? Thank you so much for this amazing source of uncountable adventures in a book form.

[@theDMsCraft]

Yes to the barrier, The player takes the strikes, yes. If a large animal has taken 3 strikes, the conjurer better get a heal because if they don't, they will die when transforming back. The 'Lifelock' magick item is a good upgrade for a shifter as it gives the character an extra strike...So glad you enjoy the game

[@pharbex]

Thank you so much! I'll keep spreading the word here in Brazil. :D

[@kidnuka]

One thing I am not clear on. On magic resists, more monsters that get attacked (up to 6) means more d6s, but if just one of those is a 1, does the spell automatically succeed?

[@kidnuka]

Replying to myself. I just reread, carefully this time, it's only automatic if the highest resist is a 1. Great system.

[@theDMsCraft]

The resistance # is the highest die rolled in the pool. If the highest # in a resistance pool is '1' then a spell automatically casts.

[@theDMsCraft]

So the more dice rolled the more likely it is to get a higher #.

[@candleheat1001]

Two magic questions: How much overlap do you permit between different Circles of Sorcery? For example, could a Botanicalist use roots/branches to whip out like long tentacles; mimicking the Arcane Bands' abilities? How does magic healing work? Would this be a Miracle? If so, how many Aloofness dice would you recommend to heal 1 strike?

[@theDMsCraft]

Botanicalist could do grasping roots but in the circle, it takes at least one round to grow up. In my mind, arcane bands are much narrower focus but you can instantly grab, grapple, move or push targets. There is no healing magick except potions.

[@theDMsCraft]

For healing with miracles. Magick inflicts one strike so I would only allow healing to heal one strike. I would start at 3 aloofness die and add a die to each target adding up to six-max targets (this would max out at 6 aloofness die). (it is all or nothing in this system). If the miracle works all targets selected targets are healed one strike. Remember miracles can only be called on once a scene so this could only be tried once a scene and If I was the RR a god would ignore more than one request for healing. This game breaks the video game heal-bot mindset.

[@JobelEnterrador]

Scotty i just get the manual and is awesome 👍👍 But i still dont understand the Miracles, you roll 3d6 or 6d6 against what? RR difficult? or the RR need to rol a die to set the peticion scale? roll anything but a 1? what is the intended way? thx

[@theDMsCraft]

The 3D6 to 6D6 is the 'aloofness of the gods' to your prayer request. Say you pray to speak to the dead and the RR rolls 3D6 to resist and gets 3,4 and 5. The player can roll 1 to 3 prayer dice to see if the prayer works. The player must roll a die that equals or beats the highest roll off the RR (a 5)

[@theDMsCraft]

If one of the prayer dice rolled comes up a '1' the prayer is ruined. So the player must equal or beat the highest # rolled by the RR but also not roll a 1. So more dice give you a better chance to equal or beat the 'aloofness of the gods' but also give you a greater chance to roll a 1.

[@JobelEnterrador]

[@TribalRainu]

Great stuff, bought the book. I have a question regarding Armor save, magical defense and miraculous save. If a monster casts a fire spell do Pushers and Shovers roll: - Magical resistance and if they are hit, then they roll save vs wounds/armor save? - Or they just take a strike after they fail the resistance? Is armor save the same as magical defense? Curious if the bonuses from the hero paths apply only to non-magical damage or the save vs wounds is universal to all types of damage. I would love to join the discord to not bother you here with these questions.

[@theDMsCraft]

they just take a strike after they fail the resistance?

[@theDMsCraft]

Second question no. Most characters have a magickal defense of 1D6, Brutes and Friars have a 2D6. Armor will not save from magick

I could see if you started a group say at like 10th level, yeah the wizard is gonna have some book work to do, but oh well. part of a ttrpg is logistics/book work. if you don't want that.. there's war game or pc games. between playing gridless and just hearing some of these (and other videos of yours) ideas on rules... i feel like you want to roleplay with a war game more than play a roleplaying game.

So from my understanding it's kind of a soft magic system with hard boundaries of what a player can do(magic with up to six targets, not being able to use karma on spells and ones being a serious risk of failing the spell). But inside the boundaries, it's whatever floats the player's boat... Very creative system and allows for alot of niche scenarios most other magic systems could never reach.

[@theDMsCraft]

No limits! Keep in mind that even if you roll 5 dice you still just take the highest and do one strike. Rolling more dice just makes it easier to do what you have boons in. Crits only roll one die so # of boons will not help your crit potential.

[@bizikimiz6003]

If you crit with magic and then roll a 1....

[@theDMsCraft]

any 1s fail magick unless you take spellburn. Magick can not crit and only ever inflicts one strike (except blastmaster) but can hit up to 6 targets (be sure to roll resistance for all targets and take the highest rolled die as the magick target).

[@stephenchilcoat3808]

What do you to about simply overpowered spell requests like "I want to snap my finger like Thanos and have him die." Do you just let them try that? That seems like you couldn't make a hard enough difficulty. They should have almost no ability to do that.

[@theDMsCraft]

Keep some things in mind: There can be no more than 6 targets, and the spell can only do a single strike (except blastmaster, which can do 2). Also, you, as the RR, can decide on the resistance number of dice or simply state that the spell is beyond their scope. Make it more of a negotiation than a statement.
