Year Zero Nano
  Where other rules-light games might emphasise action or heroics, YZN is more down to earth - telling stories of a more gritty and relatable nature. Whilst its core is based on the award-winning Tales From the Loop, it is also sprinkled with a bit of FATE Core, Abenteurspiel, and the FKR. SIMPLE D6 DICE POOL SYSTEM Using the Year Zero Engine as its basis (covered by an OGL from Free League Publishing), YZN uses a pool of standard six-sided dice, but differs slightly by looking for both 5s or 6s in the rolled dice pool.
