Role-Playing Game

Role-playing in the World of The Matrix Trilogy.

THE MATRIX ROLE-PLAYING GAME

D6 Classic Version

(Updated for The Matrix: Revolutions )

Welcome!

This is a role-playing game based on the world of the movies of The Matrix trilogy . This is a

downloadable version of the game that was originally posted on the web at

http://thematrixfreerpg.tripod.com/ .

There are two versions of this game available on the site: The first, The Matrix RPG D6 Classic,

is a direct adaptation of the Star Wars Second Edition Revised and Expanded Rules (now out

of print) published by West End Games. The second, The Matrix D6 Legend, is a success-

based system founded on the rules laid out in West End Games' DC Universe .

I highly recommend that you pick up the original rule books for these games. West End Games

has several products out that will add to your understanding and experience with this game.

There are also some independent game designers who are producing D6 products. Visit

http://www.finalswordproductions.com/ f or the Psibertroopers game, which includes psionic

powers and technology that easily could be used in your Matrix game.

SPOILER ALERT: This game was updated in November 2003 to include new elements from

The Matrix: Revolutions . I recommend seeing the movie before reading more in these pages.

Most of the images at this site are from the The Matrix website (they have a whole section of

comics based on the movie) and fan sites. The official site is pretty nifty, so you should check it

out. .

Also, this is a free RPG and I'm not trying to make any money on it (so don't sue me!). I just

had an idea and few hours to kill and cobbled the thing together. There are a ton of free RPG's

on the web, including many others that are based on The Matrix. I've set up links on the Matrix

RPG website to them.
