Roll Up!

A system for creating and running tabletop roleplaying games for group or solo play.

All you need to play is a six-sided die (d6) to go along with the procedures and tables in this guide.

Roll Up! is a tabletop roleplaying game system designed to allow people to dive into a world of adventure with minimal fuss. Rolling up a new character, setting up a world, and starting an adventure takes just a few d6 rolls and can be done in less than a minute.

Gameplay is equally direct - decide what you’re doing and let the six sides of the die help you along your way. With extensive tables and randomness, Roll Up! games are designed to be endlessly replayable.

The primary features of the Roll Up! system are:

  • Games can get started in a minute or less
  • Only one die is needed - a d6
  • Characters have three stats that double as abilities and an HP pool (when any one of them is reduced to zero, the character dies)
  • Works seamlessly for group or solo games with no modifications to the core rules
  • GM is optional, depending on how you want to play
  • Loads of customisation options
  • A high level of replayability

Roll Up! can be used for group play with a game master (GM) and any number of players, or it can be used for solo roleplaying, allowing you to take on new adventures on your own.

You can also use Roll Up! as a system reference document (SRD) to create your own games. You can copy the text from this guide and use it in your own work, building out a world for players in any setting you choose.
