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.

And there I thought you were the owner!!!!

Given how I've probably been the name most associated with Microlite20 over the last 5 or 6 years, I can understand why people might think that.

Re: Like the new site design!

I was finally able to log back in!!! Yeah. I agree. Microlite20 is great, but there are a lot of nice rules-lite options out there. More than I know about!

I enjoyed the game. It was a great balance of investigation and adventure.

Re: Crafting

Here was my final take: "How is the best way to represent crafting or MacGyvering important things that might be difficult and time sensitive? Creating an animal trap would be Knowledge and DEX… or perhaps Physical and MIND or even Subterfuge and DEX? How about repairing some important weapon o...

Re: Ability Checks versus Skill checks

I think your exorcism during the last game was a great opportunity for a simple or raw ability check. It made it simpler, not more complicated. It made a lot of sense (which skill would be used for that???? and why???). And most important it made it more fun since the process was expedited.

Re: Ability Checks versus Skill checks

Hmmmmm. It seems to me that in only a few instances you would use a 'simple ability check' vs a full blown 'skill check'. Not because it is inherently wrong, but because it is confusing (at least to me). There needs to be some justification for NOT just using the skill check. If the only justificati...

Re: "Epic Opposed Ability Check Contest"

I thought it was a great way to deal with it. The issue was timing... could we hold off the curious guards long to finish the job? I thought a great balance of suspense and action.

Re: Crafting

Making a stone wall to keep out an orcish horde? That would probably require a Knowledge (Int) check. Yeah, I was thinking more on the line MacGyvering important things that might be difficult and time sensitive. Or perhaps just Knowledge and DEX is the key sometimes. But it seems to be missing som...
