Pisinski As the d6 Magazine heads in a new direction, we will continue to grow and expand with each issue. Like everything, we’re not immune to the effects of growing pains, it will be a process for everyone involved, but these are exciting times for d6 gaming! I would like to thank the online d6 community in their efforts for helping spread the word and involvement. The d6 System itself has gone through many changes since its initial conception in the late ‘70s, to the height of its popularity when West End Games held the Star Wars license to the OpenD6 OGL that we have now. The future of d6 gaming is looking very bright, with all the talented minds we have now. I am looking forward to working with everyone as we begin to push the boundaries of our imaginations while we continue to challenge ourselves. Never stop dreaming, anything is possible. Roll for initiative! Respectfully, - Brett M. Pisinski OpenD6 OGL 2.0 and Wicked North Games, LLC.
