Looking for the Free Microlite20/7x/8x/2020 Rules Downloads?

There are well over 100 free downloads of rules (and more) for Microlite20, Microlite2020, Microlite7x, Microlite 81, and their many variants in the Game Download Library area below. These files can be downloaded without creating a membership on this site.

 

 

 

Update (19 Jun 23):

As I mentioned many weeks ago, maintaining the seldom used Wordpress side of this site became too much of a bother, especially as parts of Wordpress are constantly updating and some those updates break things -- like access to this forum. I'm finally had time to remove it. The forum should stop disappearing from view now.

As many of you know, my wife has had MS for about 20 years now. It has gotten to the stage where helping her takes a lot more of my time that it used to. This means visits to this board have become few and far between. I'm looking for a couple of members willing to help moderate this board. Note that if your idea of good moderation is anything similar the way boards like RPG.net are moderated, do not bother volunteering. Good moderation isn't about forcing your opinions, ideological positions, or biases on members via your power to gag and ban, it is about being helpful to all members (even those you don't like/disagree with), cleaning up after spammers, and enforcing the rules with the lightest hand possible and only doing so when the rules are actually broken. If you are interested in any message board moderation position on any board because of the supposed "power" it will give you, you are (IMHO) the wrong person for the job. If you are interested, PM me. It may taken quite a while to reply, unfortunately.

Re: Microlite 20 Trademark, etc.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where the trademark/general ownership of Microlite 20 stands? I know someone bought it from the original creator, but last I checked he hasn't been doing anything with the "brand" for some time now. I found an email of Robin Stacey through his Github and...

Re: Should monsters also use hit points to cast spells?

In all the years Microlite20 (and variants) have been around, I don't believe I've seen this question asked. :shock: I should note I am trying to create a CRPG - a single-player turn-based rogue-like based on Microlite20 rules, hence for my implementation these questions do pop up. It's now my 3rd ...

Re: Should monsters also use hit points to cast spells?

I think I'm going with spells per day then. Indeed, players get higher STR to help with mana cost for spells. One way to deal with this is to give monsters a hidden mana pool equal to their health pool. And when a monster casts a spell, the hit point cost is drained from their hidden mana pool until...

Should monsters also use hit points to cast spells?

Players use hit points to cast spells, should the same be true for monsters or would that make encounters perhaps too easy? What is balance-wise the best approach? Let's say if we look at a DnD Skeletal Mage keeping in mind the Microlite20 Purest Essence guide, it might look something as such: HD: 1...

Re: How to use Feeblemind on monsters with only hit dice?

randalls Thanks, I guess it makes sense. I was kinda thinking what happened in Baldur's Gate with Feeblemind and from what I read it would change the sight of the player, pretty much only able to see anything directly besides him. And at that point pretty much ignore anything else happening around ...

How to use Feeblemind on monsters with only hit dice?

The description of Feeblemind states:

Feeblemind: Subject’s MIND score drops to 1.

Many monsters in Purest Essence don't have a MIND score. How to use Feeblemind in such cases? Any recommendations?
