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: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

Perhaps I just don't understand the Magic Schools. Are they really different schools or more like styles? I am thinking, is this like different martial arts 'schools' which all have certain concept in common while having uniquely different aspects as well? Or are they really different and How? One t...

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

1 negative... but I will have to think more on this. The 8 basic schools you based the magic on don't seem to make much sense. It may be better than nothing, but is it? Or perhaps a different collection of schools? Some make more sense than the others.

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

I like these ideas. It is not necessarily a 'simpler' mechanism than the Vancian system of D&D (which I detest on multiple levels) so much as 'logical'. It makes sense. If I am going to have to learn something I would like it to be logical. The process of 'learning' a spell is also an interestin...

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

Have you ever read the Bartimaeus novels? In those books all magic comes from demons. Wizards/Magicians learn how to lure and trap these demons from alternative dimensions and enslave them here. Needless to say the demons do not come voluntarily and take any opportunity they given to destroy their e...

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

Also, you may have noticed how I added 'Ritual' as a magical option in Ancient Elements RPG. I particularly dislike the D&D Vancian magic system. It makes no sense at all. Why would you memorize a spell in the morning and then forget it after you use it? I know there is some twisted logic but I ...

Re: Flexible magic/spell systems (for m20 variant)

I do rather like the idea of failure in addition to cost.

Re: Has DTRPG abandoned small creators?

I guess my real question is what should I do to fix it if it can be fixed at all? For instance, my covers used to be simple and boring... perhaps even ugly. I just didn't know how to make a cover. I have worked hard to make my covers a bit more appealing, but they are still clearly amateur. I don't ...

Re: Has DTRPG abandoned small creators?

a) I don't have an exclusive setup with OBS so my stuff has never appeared on the "Exclusively on" section. I chose early on to give DTRPG exclusive rights to distribute my gaming products and I was very pleased with the results. I have used Amazon in the past for some things, but DTRPG a...

Has DTRPG abandoned small creators?

I have been posting self-produced sets of rules on DTRPG and its associated sites, wargames and RPGS, for years. What I loved about DTRPG was how they not only allowed us little guys to submit our stuff but also supported us. That seems to have changed. I don't want to complain. DTRPG is still an aw...

Re: Microlite 20 Trademark, etc.

Now this is really weird. You, Randall, responded to my comment, but it showed up as if it was my response????? That's really strange. The server had a hiccup around the end of June, but I don't think it could have caused that. ::baffled look:: I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before...
