6083 Player's Manual

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

6083 is an original science fiction tabletop role playing game set in the far flung future. You play as elite military operatives who are tasked with the protection and safety of the citizens of the Central Alliance of Planets. Hold the line, and fight the good fight!

6083 features an original ruleset and a unique universe with deep and compelling lore. It is a skill based D100/ 3D6 system with a heavy emphasis on skills and unique gear items for character progression. It is hard science fiction, but with a dash of fantasy. If you like movies like Aliens, Stargate, Star Trek, Serenity and Star Wars, you are going to feel right at home. The game system is built around it's unique combat system, but features plenty of roleplaying opportunities as well. This is a modern game, but it has an old-school feel due to it's design. Players are encouraged to be clever and resourceful in order to thrive, and their decisions will definitely impact their survivability!

The Player's Manual is a 6083 player's resource for character creation, skills, augments, elite professions and character advancement. It is the first of the three required manuals in the 6083 game system.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE 6083 GAME SYSTEM

-An original combat system with enormous tactical depth. This system features frenetic combat that is driven by hit location and severity. Actions like aiming, taking cover and tactical manuevering are integrated into gameplay without the need for complex calculations.

-Player character creation that is fun without being overwhelming. 6083 character creation is designed to reduce choice paralysis, but is deep enough to provide an infinite variety of interesting options. Choose from a wide variety of organic or synthetic classifications. Yes, you can be a robot, alien, or just a plain old Terran too! 

-A deep skill based system that allows for endless player character customization. No class restictions: buy the skills you want and need to grow into the character YOU envision. 

-Personal combat, vehicle combat and aerospace combat share similar mechanics: this stremlines gameplay and eliminates the need to learn separarte rules for different game modes.

-A system that is designed predominantly for ease of play: miniatures and maps are not a requirement.   

-Lots of lore and setting information. This game is designed around a fully fleshed out and original universe. While there is plenty of space and opportunity for homebrew, this game universe has a unique setting with a ton of detail. You'll be able to build on that! 

-Original art created for the world of 6083. ALL the books feature unique illustrations that have been created specically for this game.

Now that POD versions of the Player's Manual are available, which ones are right for YOU? While the PDF version is free, the physical versions feature full color layouts, additional content and more original art. If you are on a budget, you can't go wrong with the POD player's Manual. It's the least expensive of all the books, but features TWO ADDITIONAL player classifications (races) that are NOT included in the PDF version. These classifications are more complex and add in more tactical options for players who are interested in playing something a little different. If you love hardback books, the hardcover Player's Manual is the definitive version. It's a little more expensive, but features premium paper, and a beautiful hardback cover. If you don't care about hardbacks, the softcover version is less expensive, but still has all the same content.

Are all these updates going to be an ongoing thing? 2 further updates in the last 2 weeks. I would be pssd if I bought a print version.
I have all ready lost track of which PDF is the updated version in my library.

The updates only happen if there is something we feel is necessary to improve the player experience. Most of the time its because we realize that a rule clarification is in order. Meaning that there's a better and clearer way to explain something. That being said, I have these same concerns, about players who may have purchased the physical versions. If you have the physical versions, they are still very much viable. All that being said, we aren't planning on making any more corrections for some time. We will be publishing/ updating the most current versions in hardback for this holiday season, but after that you won't see updates like this again. If a player has physical versions but wants the most current deluxe pdf, they should contact us directly, and we'll make sure they get a current deluxe pdf free of charge. It's not perfect, but it's the best we can do, and we really do care about our player base. Your criticism is truly appreciated though, and I'd like to encourage you to continue to give us feedback...See more

Having only played a couple of sessions, please take my comment with a grain of salt.



Gameplay

Very solid and fresh due to a lack of Roll20 mechanics. This could be overwhelming for new players and DMs but so far doesn't seem that bad.



Lore/Background

Fleshed out enough for DMs to build standalone missions or whole campaigns.



Party Diversity/Builds
The characters that can be played are semi restricted since all players are a member of CAPSOG. However, if the players would like a military sci-fi TTRPG, this is shaping up to be a great system.



Minor Gripes
The armor layering system is fantastic, but personally, I find the weapon AR system to be too easily broken/power gamed. If instead of increasing a weapon's penetration value off of just a credit price, an attachment system was added that would change a weapon's stats, I would probably enjoy the system more.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
