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...
The Microlite81 Tablet-Digest Edition has been released for free download. This should have happened about a week ago, but I forgot to upload it in all the preparations for Christmas. For those who do not know, Microlite81 emulates the B/X version of the world’s most popular fantasy roleplaying game. The Microlite81 rules are...

The first draft of Microlite75 2.0 Basic is now available for download in the Donor area of Microlite20 Download Library. While this is a first draft, the game is really ready to go (except for proofreading, layout, and a final decision on how I am going to handle saving throws). The Microlite20-based level...
I was recently asked why I don’t include “Challenge Ratings” (CRs) for monsters in my old school Microlite games as that would allow people who want to design set piece encounters for their games to do so much more easily. The answer is actually fairly simple. I neither have the time nor the...
You are probably asking what is Microlite75 2.0? The first version of Microlite75 was published during the same period as Microlite74 2.0 and was Microlite74 plus my house rules from the 0e era (late 1970s). The “75” in the name came from 1975 — the year I first played D&D. When it came...
I’m happy to announce that final “silver” version of Microlite81 Advanced 1.0 is finished at last and is now available for free download. I’m sorry to say that I could not limit the page count to my goal of 192 pages (64 x 3) — at least not and have any reasonable amount...
The text of Microlite81 Advanced is complete and the project is being laid out. If all goes well, I will be releasing the final “silver” version of Microlite81 Advanced next week, in time for (US) Thanksgiving. The only thing that might delay it would be more medical issues with my wife. Her MS-related...
