Approximate time to read: 1 minutes.
I find that tinkering with ideas can be a wellspring for creative thought, so I read the short text of Thronelands with interest. And then I followed the trail to Analog Konsole and the minimald6 system.
Stripped back and very simple, it invited tinkering (genuinely, given the Creative Commons note) – and so, I thought I’d give Davokar a spin.
It’s ultra-lite, with a few familiar aspects from the Core Book and Advanced Player’s Guide. And it’s — obviously — untested. However, on a whim, it got me thinking and you’re welcome to give it a spin.
And check out Thronelands and the original spin-offs on the Analog Konsole site in the meantime.
Dare you enter minimald6 Davokar!
And now available as a PocketMod!

Great thing! I would rather take 4,5 and 6 as successes, as 33,333% seems meager a chance for an unmodified roll. Instead of having 33% (1d6), 53ish (2d6 1 quality) then 69ish (3d6 2 qualities) we would have 50, 75 then 87,5 %.
This ultra-lite version of the rules is fantastic! However, as mentioned in another Iron Pact post, “Whither Davokor?”, it may be a little too light. Perhaps it could be built out just a bit more, still using the MinimalD6 ruleset, or maybe FlexD6 which is related to MinimalD6.
Having a very small character sheet for Davokar would be a nice addition to the ultra-lite ruleset. Any thoughts on what should be included/excluded? I may try to use your One Shot Symbaroum char sheet as inspiration.
