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.

Looking for advice on designing a very basic RPG

Post by gjbkk »

This is purely as a little hobby. I wanted to try my hand at a really simple RPG design for an online wargaming universe called Three Plains, with the support of its creator. I have chosen the Creative Commons-licensed Simple RPG System for mechanics.

Thing is, I really have no clue what I'm doing, so I wanted to ask if anyone has any feedback to help avoid the surefire clangers I am certain to drop.

My latest draft is here, I am only five pages in:

https://docdro.id/Th3F7qv

Again, I stress my only goal here is to create a very simple RPG without any massive flaws in it. Advice is welcome!

Your Google doc isn't public so us run of the mill people can't read it. :shock:

There's not a lot to comment on yet, especially as this is the first time I've read the underlying Simple Game System. However, your races and classes seem workable.

Thank you for the feedback, it will indeed be extremely light. I will continue to work on it as time allows.
