Sci=Fi Action and Theme for Compact Chaos
First up, a d66 is rolling a d6 once for "tens" and once for "digits". A "3" and a "5" would be 35. By default going along the row then down the column.
Science fiction covers a whole lot, from space opera to cyberpunk to post-apocalypse, hard sci-fi and space fantasy.
Action and Theme are used as spark tables to give ideas in solo games, for the action of an NPC to the quest a character is on to the meaning of a story.
Compact Chaos is a 1-page (currently) light system for playing solo rpgs on the go or with minimal reference. I'm planning on adding some d66 tables to it (which these are the prototype for!).
