We are thrilled to finally unveil the full rule set for the D6 Anime Fantasy Football League! This project was born out of a simple idea: to create a game that is fun, accessible, and limitless in its potential, without the need for expensive, limited-run products. Everything you need to play is right here, and it's built to be a living, breathing document that your league can grow and evolve with.
So, gather your football dice, rally your players, and prepare to enter a fantasy football league unlike any other.
Chapter 1: The Core D6 System
This league uses an adapted version of the Open D6 system to determine player actions and outcomes, adding a layer of chance and strategy beyond typical fantasy football.
Character Stats: Each player's statistics and abilities are abstracted into D6 attributes.
Power Level (STR): Raw physical power.
Speed/Agility (DEX): Agility, coordination, and quickness.
Endurance (CON): Endurance, resilience, and resistance to damage.
Focus (PER): Awareness and play recognition.
Technique (TEC): Skill in executing a specific play.
Aura/Presence (CHA): A player's "star power" or ability to perform under pressure.
The Wild Die: For any game-changing moment, one of your D6 dice is designated as the Wild Die.
A roll of 6 means a critical success. The point value is doubled, and you get to roll the Wild Die again, adding the new result to the total.
A roll of 1 means a critical failure. The point value is halved, and a negative consequence may occur, such as an injury to the player.
Chapter 2: Team Building & Player Progression
This is how you will manage your team over the course of the season, much like a hero's journey.
The Draft (The Grand Crossover)
Rookie Roll: All drafted players start as "Rookies." You will distribute a starting pool of 12D among their six core attributes.
The Nexus Collection: These are legendary free agents with pre-determined, high-level stats and unique abilities. Drafting one is a major investment.
Team Treasury
Your team's financial health is managed through the Team Treasury, which starts with 1,000 Credits (Cr).
Income: Earned weekly based on your team's total fantasy points and a bonus for winning or tying a game.
Expenses: Paid weekly as a salary to your players, with veterans costing more than rookies.
Star Player Points (SPP)
Players on your roster earn SPP for every impactful play they make.
Earning SPP:
Touchdown: 5 SPP
Passing TD: 2 SPP
Forced Turnover (Interception/Fumble): 3 SPP
Big Play (40+ yard play): 2 SPP
Sack: 1 SPP
Completed Pass: 1 SPP
Player Progression
When a player earns enough SPP, you can "level up" and get a new ability or a stat increase.
10 SPP: Increase a D6 attribute by +1 pip.
20 SPP: Increase a D6 attribute by +1D.
30 SPP: Choose a new Special Ability.
Injuries, Recovery, and the Doctor's Report
When a player gets a "Critical Failure" on a Wild Die roll or suffers a major real-life injury, you roll 1D6 on the Injury Table.
1-2: Minor Injury (misses next game).
3-4: Major Injury (misses 1-4 games).
5: Career-Threatening Injury (misses rest of season).
6: Dead/Retired (removed from your roster).
The Doctor's Report: You can spend Credits to reduce an injury's severity by rerolling the result or reducing the die roll.
Off-Season & Free Agency
The Fallen (Dead/Retired): You can sign players who were "Dead" or "Retired" from other teams. They return with a random D6 stat reduction for one season.
The Nexus Collection: Elite free agents who retain all of their skills, experience, and D6 stats.

Me Captain Hedges Pictured below then in the 1990s I was 20 years old then in the Anime Fantasy Football League with the Knights of Hedges
His Carrer stats of the 1990s
and his open d6 1990s football stats
Based on the statistical comparison of the top quarterbacks of the 1990s, I will synthesize a new D6 stat block for Sir Clinton Hedges II that solidifies his place as the most complete and dominant player of that era.
He was a quarterback who combined the best traits of his peers: the incredible longevity and touchdown prowess of Brett Favre, the unparalleled efficiency and accuracy of Steve Young, and the championship-winning leadership of Troy Aikman. The result is a player who was not only a statistical powerhouse but also a rare talent who could win consistently under pressure.

A Legacy of Shadow and Silence: The Career of Sir Clinton Hedges II
The Blackout and a Silent Heir (1999-2009)
In 1999, the Hedges family was faced with a double tragedy that would forever change its course. The family patriarch, Sir George Clinton, passed away, and around the same time, his son, the older Earl Clinton Hedges I, was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition. A decade later, in 2009, Sir Clinton II's father, Earl Clinton Hedges I, also passed away, leaving his son to inherit the vast, complex, and dangerous legacy.
Forced to retire from public affairs to manage both the Family Bossiness and his health, Sir Clinton II's public retreat was a strategic move, allowing him to take control of the family's business empire in relative seclusion. He was a brilliant mind trapped in a failing body, when he started having Heart attacks and strokes that landed him in a wheel chair for a while, and his high Knowledge and Focus D6 stats are a testament to his immense mental fortitude, though they are now a fragile, hard-won victory in his daily battle. This period of quiet, meticulous control of the family's legitimate businesses and covert ventures laid the groundwork for his future power.
A Past Contained: The Melissa Bibb Affair (2000s)
During this time, the young Earl briefly re-emerged into the urban landscape, leveraging a calculated venture with a madam known as "The Queen Bee." This affair was a test of his strategic mind—a way for him to prove his mettle and gather information without a direct public presence. The ruthlessness with which he cut ties and the impeccable use of cash to maintain his plausible deniability solidified his operational procedure. The subsequent raid on his city penthouse served as a stark reminder of his limitations, pushing him to retreat fully to the Hedges' ancestral stronghold in North Bank, where his direct influence would become absolute.
After Battling Back from his health issues he is now well enough again to play one more time on a last tour for the 2025 preseason games.
Current Era: A Return to the Game (2025)
As of 2025, Sir Clinton Hedges II is 54 years old, and his Physical conditioning is a constant challenge. Yet, his will remains unbroken, and he has decided to make a limited return to the sport he loves. He will play only in preseason matches, using the remaining clarity of his mind and body to lead and mentor the next generation.
His focus is on training the new rookie class, a hand-picked group of talent for the Knights of Hedges:
Sir Arthur Hedges (Quarterback): A young, promising signal-caller, Quarter Back.
Lancelot Du Lake (Running End Receiver): A dynamic player known for his speed and hands.
Sir Gairas, Sir Grath, and Sir Gwaith (Offensive Linemen): A formidable trio of blockers tasked with protecting both the seasoned Earl and the young Sir Arthur.
Sir Clinton's return is a last-ditch effort to pass on his immense knowledge of the game to his young successors, a final, beautiful act of mentorship before his mind and body fades completely.
Beyond the football field, A Decade of Anarchy:
A Retrospective on Slammiversary (2015-2025) and
Earl Diamond and the Sunday Night Forge Storyline
For ten years, Slammiversary has stood as a cornerstone of the Nocturnis Wrestling League's Sunday Night Forge, a brutal and chaotic event that celebrates the promotion's very existence. As one of the "Big Four" PPV events—along with Hard To Kill, Rebellion, and Bound for Glory—Slammiversary is more than a show; it is an annual pilgrimage for fans and a proving ground for the promotion's most dedicated warriors.
The Founding and the July Shift
The inaugural Slammiversary took place on June 19, 2015, marking the official launch of the Sunday Night Forge. The event immediately established itself as a place for career-defining moments and was steeped in the promotion's rich, supernatural lore. For the next two years, it remained a June tradition, but a creative decision was made in 2017 to move the event to a July date. This strategic shift allowed the promotion to build more elaborate summer-long storylines, ensuring that the PPV was the climatic centerpiece of a heated season of feuds and rivalries.
The Ten-Year Anniversary: A Return to the Beginning
The 2025 Slammiversary was a monumental milestone, not just for the promotion, but for the entire multiversal wrestling scene. In a move that both honored its past and signaled its future, the Sunday Night Forge returned the event to its original date, holding it on June 19, 2025—ten years to the day after the very first show.
The anniversary event was a spectacle of history and prophecy. It saw legends return to the ring, old feuds ignite once more, and new champions rise to take their place among the pantheon of NWL greats. It was a celebration of every bone-crunching hit, every dramatic betrayal, and every unexpected triumph that has defined the past decade of the Sunday Night Forge. Slammiversary stands as a permanent tribute to the promotion's defiant spirit, its commitment to chaos, and the unforgettable characters that make the NWL a truly unique phenomenon.
