Unlock Endless Possibilities:
The D6 Aptitude System

At the core of OHO lies the d6 aptitude system, which sets it apart from conventional RPGs. This game-changing approach allows you to liberate your hero from the traditional class-based systems that dictate their capabilities. Instead, you get to curate your hero's abilities by selecting specific suites of aptitudes. Each aptitude enhances your hero's skill set, enabling you to create a truly one-of-a-kind character.

Open Hero Odyssey is looking for playtesters!

OHO is continuing updates to the mechanics and rules based on the issues found in Phase One testing. (Click here to see the games). Character sheets and dice will be replaced by a mobile app (coming soon!) that controls the minute aspects of play, while mechanics are tested (like damage, and certain special abilities), on player and game master side. The goal for players here is to test the limits of the mechanics and rules as they are stated. Min/maxing for this purpose is highly encouraged. The goal for game masters is to get a feel for running gaming sessions with the mechanics, and seeing where problems arise in practice. Additionally, if you would like to contribute lore or art to the project, let us know!
