The Buddy System
A downloadable system
Interested in making a d6-based dice pool game where friendship is, shall we say, magic? Where teamwork empowers in ways beyond a simple “helping action?” Perhaps consider the Buddy System! The Buddy System is perfect for story-based character driven games where characters are stronger together.

A final note:
Do not use the Buddy System to create bigoted games. It was created to embrace queerness and a sense of found family. Games using the system should remain true to that spirit.

Thank you for the Buddy System! I had been chewing on a game idea for months and struggling to find mechanics that felt good - playing cards, tokens, coin flips - and I was losing steam. The Buddy System has enabled me to get from a clumsy idea to a playable prototype in just a few short days. Thank you thank you thank you :)
