D6 CONSORTIUM

JOY IS A FORM OF RESISTANCE

Games about resistance, community, and finding hope in broken systems.

WHAT WE MAKE

d6 consortium makes tabletop RPGs where small victories matter.

Our games explore what happens when people find moments of joy, triumph, and community in systems designed to crush them.

We build this into our mechanics, our stories, and our communities. This isn't just marketing—it's how our games actually play.

FIRST RELEASE: SMUGGLER

Desperate. Clever. In Debt.

It's 2834. The galaxy is carved up by megacorporations, policed by a military dictatorship, and undermined by organized crime.

You're a smuggler with a fast ship and crushing debt. Every cargo run is a gamble. Every deal has a cost. The math says you'll lose.

But you're clever. And sometimes, being clever is enough.

SMUGGLER is a space opera RPG about economic pressure, moral compromise, and finding small victories when the odds are stacked against you.

  • Debt spiral mechanics that force hard choices
  • Five factions to play against each other
  • "I Have an Angle" system that rewards clever thinking
  • Small Victories mechanic that makes joy matter
  • Free digital tools (First Mate app)
  • Accessible design for everyone at the table
