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: WotC, the OGL 1.*, and SRD 3.*

Hmmm, although this from EnWorld makes a good point that the post doesn't completely walk back the "de-authorization" of OGL 1.0a. It appears to for existing content, but not for new content. Which in the presence of the ORC license and similar is not a big deal unless you're targeting 5E ...

Re: WotC, the OGL 1.*, and SRD 3.*

It looks like WotC not only walked it back, but fell on their sword pretty completely: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1423-an-update-on-the-open-game-license-ogl After I borked something at work once, someone said to me, "Its not about whether you make a mistake, it's about how you respond aft...

Re: Eldritch Words Spell System

Sounds fascinating! I'm super interested to learn how this goes, once you've put it through its paces, please do let us know the results. I outlined a slightly different system here that's a little more rigid in terms of what you can do. But what I definitely know is missing is how well you do it at...

Re: Eldritch Words Spell System

Is the 3d6 * Potency something that scales appropriately? I feel like most Potency 1 spells in The Traditional System do significantly less damage than that for the equivalent cost of 3 MP. Curious if you've playtested this progression and how it went... Elsewise, while I still don't think I'd run a...

Re: Microlite20 Facebook Group

I am referring to Microlite20 Fans. I would like to make it a different group because I haven't kept up with removing spam and weirdness, although the OGL discussion is pretty good so far. I totally understand why folks would not stick around. For what it's worth I check in on that every day, and I...

Re: Scrubbing M20 Fifth of OGL-derived content

Hey @Babilfrenzo, first off, nice work on this!

I left some comments in the Google Doc on things that might be troublesome. Of course I'm not a lawyer or expert in any sense of the word, so feel free to keep what you like that pitch what you don't... hey, that sounds familiar! :lol:

Re: WotC, the OGL 1.*, and SRD 3.*

It means very little, as long as you're cool with WotC potentially taking your Sharealike content and selling it, without compensating you as the creator in any way. As for me, if the Basic Fantasy folks manage to purge SRD content and it holds up, it will be easy enough to write rulesets from scrat...

Re: WotC, the OGL 1.*, and SRD 3.*

So the usual "I am not a lawyer" applies... in fact, I rarely know what I'm talking about most of the time in general. But what I've gathered from all the web articles, forum posts, and YouTube videos I've watched on this to date (which is not all that much TBH), the answer is... definitel...

Re: WotC, the OGL 1.*, and SRD 3.*

High level question, I think I know the answer, but in a nutshell: If you write all your content from scratch, as I do, then even if you're describing key terms/processes (like creating a character and applying experience, as described in the Hypertext d20 SRD's FAQ ), then your work doesn't even ne...

Re: Can Microlite games be effective without magic?

I can attest that the game @squirewaldo mentions worked well both with and without the magical elements.
