Microlite74 Standard Rules Now Available in a Free Tablet-Friendly PDF
The Lazy Days of Summer RetroRoleplaying Cancer Fund Drive hit its second $250 goal yesterday, so the second Microlite74 tablet version has been released for free public download.
For those who do not know, Microlite74 Standard emulates the 0e version of the world’s most popular fantasy roleplaying game in its complete form: the original 3 little booklets in the 0e boxed set plus most of the material from the supplements and “official” material published in the early magazine articles. You have Fighters, Rangers, Paladins, Clerics, Druids, Magic-Users, Illusionists, and Thieves (and optionally Assassins, Bards, and Monks), with variable hit dice and weapon damage, a complete set of spells (through 9th level for Magic-Users, 7th level, for Clerics, Druids, and Illusionists), and combat is covered in slightly more detail. Microlite74 Standard has all the features of 0e as most people played it back in the late 1970s.
The tablet digest version of Microlite74 Standard is designed to be easy to read and use on tablets. Pages are digest-sized, the text is in a single column with a relatively large font (10pt Verdana). There is nothing new in this edition: material has simply been reformatted for tablet use.
The Microlite74 Standard Tablet Digest Edition is now available for download in the Microlite20.org download area. Here is a direct link to the download: Microlite 74 Standard Tablet Digest Edition.
The Microlite74 Extended Tablet Digest Edition will be released when we hit $750 in donations to the Lazy Days of Summer RetroRoleplaying Cancer Fund Drive (which will also trigger the first giveaway drawing).
I’d like to thank everyone who has donated to the Lazy Days of Summer RetroRoleplaying Cancer Fund Drive so far! Please keep those donations coming in. Also, while there will be a formal announcement post later today or this weekend, donors donating $25 or more will be listed in some of my upcoming releases — more on those later as well.

As of the time of this post $624 dollars have been donated. That’s about 18% of our goal and about 83% of the way to the first drawing trigger point of $750 dollars.
