I’m happy to announce that the first Microlite75 game, Microlite75 Basic, is now available for download as a “pay what you want” game on DrivethruRPG/RPGNow. As usual, free ($0) is a perfectly acceptable price, although I hope you will consider tossing in a buck or two to support the medical bills. Microlite75 games...
I posted about the nearly five year long campaign I ran in Waco (and that is still going under new GMs) recently on a forum. I received an a PM asking how I could run a game that used basically OD&D rules (filtered through Microlite74) for over 150 sessions without being bored by...
I’ve been asked for epub versions of my games for ages. While the tablet-digest versions with their single column and larger text sized work better on tablets than the standard full-sized “condensed type” versions Epubs are better for viewing on tablets and phones because the text flows to try to fit the width...
Support Microlite74/75/78/81 Games on Patreon I now have a Patreon account set up for those who would like to support my old school Microlite games with a monthly donation. Various levels of support get various perks: Donate at least US$1 a month and you will get access to alpha versions of free/”pay what...
While I have not said much about it, I’ve been quieting working on Microlite75 games in the background. Unfortunately, I somehow messed up the word files in such a way that trying to print a pdf to upload to the donor area produced PDFs over 70 megs! I finally figured out the problem....
I’ve made more progress in listing my free games on DrivethruRPG/RPGNow with all five Microlite74 Companion volumes now available for download as “Pay What You Want” games (and free is a perfectly acceptable amount to pay). For those not familiar with these booklets, they expand on the core Microlite74 games with additional rules...
Last week, I decided to try listing one of my free games, Tarnhelm’s Terrible Tome, on DrivethruRPG/RPGNow as “Pay What You Want” games as a test. It was a success with over 100 downloads. I’m now going to go ahead an make all of my free games available via DrivethruRPG/RPGNow. Today, the first...
A couple of my friends have suggested (very strongly suggested in one case) that I set up a Patreon account for my ongoing Microlite7x/81/etc. game design work instead of ongoing donation drives. After looking into Patreon, I am willing to consider giving this a try. I would release 3-5 updates to the games...
I received a complaint about group initiative in my games and in old school style games in general, I suppose. The complaint when like this: when you roll initiative every round it’s possible the monsters will get two rounds of attacks in a row before the PCs can take a turn. This is...
The first draft of Microlite75 2.0 Extended is now available for download in the Donor area of Microlite20 Download Library. Microlite75 2.0 Extended Draft 1 is not quite as far along as I would like thanks to a lot of real life stuff in the last week (a major fire at a neighbor’s...
