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.

Crafting

I was thinking about how to incorporate 'crafting' into the Skills. Building an animal trap would fall under Survival. But what about replacing the leg of a chair? Or repairing a broken door? Or building a stone wall? Or fixing plumbing???

I found out that almost all One Page Dungeon Compendium works well with Microlite20. I recommend checking out, there are a lot of them, if you can't decide, just roll d100 and play what dice tells you.

good idea!

Re: Karma Points & HP Combat Bonus

This might be a bit expensive for the result compared to the cost of spells with a similar power. Otherwise, I don't see why it would not work -- at least in some settings. Yes, that was my thought. I doubt players would use it very much but... it might be one of those things that could come in han...

Re: Clarifying some rules Microlite20 Golden Edition

In regards to the Rogue's sneak attack, I think that has more to do with the target of the attack knowing the rogue is there or not. But with most things in RPGs and especially with Microlite20, a lot depends upon how the GM is going to interpret the action. If you a sneaking up on a guard and you d...

Karma Points & HP Combat Bonus

In a project I am working on attempting to create a paranormal investigation game, Fiends and Phantasms, I added Karma points to give the characters a better chance at surviving while not necessarily making them overly strong. The Karma points allow reroll of failed rolls. Thoughts on that? I was al...

Re: Grappling

I think I have clarified my idea regarding a Grapple Contest. It might still suck, but at least this is what I was intending!

Re: Grappling

I went and made some changes to the proposed Grappling rules. They are now optional in KOOKS. Also, I added an extra +2 Physical Skill bonus for Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers who are trying to Grapple.

Re: Grappling

I think though that requiring success on two separate rolls makes it statistically too difficult for someone to grapple. That was my goal. I don't think grappling should be so easy, unless you have some real advantage. Grappling with someone is much more difficult than punching someone standing an ...
