Leeches are parasitic creatures that are among the simplest animals in existence. They are invertebrates with no higher cognitive functions, and they operate on the basest of instincts: feed and reproduce.

Law Enforcement
The beat cops are the backbone of any city police force, having been around since the early 1800s. Also called bobbies (Great Britain), gendarmes (France), carabinieres (Italy), Polizist (Germany), guardia (Spain), and among other names, depending on the part of the world, they walk the streets or patrol in cars, and they are the first responders to any police call. They have evolved over the decades from the “tough love” kind of law enforcement co the modern part social worker, part investigator.
Krakens
The ocean has spawned the spirit of adventure in many who have gazed upon its surface. This wondrous, aquatic realm teems with life. Lowly microscopic organisms serve as the foundation for this vast ecosystem by providing nourishment for larger creatures on the food chain. At first glance, one might think humanity reigns over the oceans because they harvest its waters. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The undersea realm has its own native master who rules its domain with an iron tentacle. Woe be it to those who forger the true lord of the depths, the legendary kraken!
Luck Points (Dynamic Ability)
Luck is an extranormal ability. A character must be a Dynamic character to have the Luck ability. Luck is a ranked ability; for every rank of Luck, the character begins a play session with one luck point, regardless of the number of luck points the character ended the previous session with. Normal: a Stock character does have the luck ability.
Wild Die
The Wild Die is an extranormal ability. A character must be a Dynamic character in order to have the Wild Die ability. All player characters are automatically Dynamic. Normal: a Stock character does not have the Wild Die ability.
Core Mechanisms
FreeD6 is a narrative conflict role-playing game compatible with OpenD6. The abilities and skills have a slightly different emphasis, the application of the Health Track is slightly different, and there is a greater emphasis on relative values instead of absolute values. Character creation and the dice rolling mechanism are the same, and conditions are emphasized as a core mechanism. The core mechanisms in FreeD6 are: narrative structure, abilities and skills, conditions, and taking action.
Killer Kangaroos
Normally rather shy creatures that prefer to run away rather than fight, there are a few kangaroos that demons or occults have created to suit their needs.
Alien Hunters
The cosmos is populated by many interstellar
civilizations. These advanced aliens have long ago
mastered the secrets of science and travel across
the incerstellar void with ease. Such beings would
scoff at humanity’s claim to universal supremacy.
To many of them, the residents of earth are little
more than a primitive annoyance to be avoided at
all coses. Unfortunately for humanity, the Ularr are
the exception to the rule because they have found
reason to endure the trek to earth. Homo sapien life
fulfils a special need for them. These intergalactic
travelers are relentless hunters, and the people of
Earth make excellent prey!
Human-Animal Hybrids
The notion of merging the abilities of humans and animals has been a dream of science for decades. One cannot help but admire the incredible capabilities of Earth’s other creatures, whether the amazing strength of ants, the heightened senses of canines, or the regenerative capabilities of reptiles. The notion of allowing humans to access these incredible talents has been the dream of scientists for generations.
Conditions
Elements within the game are understood to function and respond in the game setting in the same way as their real-world counterparts. It would be exhausting to try and detail all possible circumstances and assign them game mechanics. Instead, conditions are used to describe ways in which abilities are restricted or enabled as game elements.
