I’ve added a number of new Microlite20 supplements and variants to the download area of the RetroRoleplaying web site. Some of these are brand new, others are updates of older files. Three new Microlite20 “5e” variants are included. Both the downloads and the games are free. Added: In case you can’t figure out...
Tarnhelm’s Terrible Tome: House Rules for 0e GamesI have been asked for a Microlite74 version of the Mnemonic Mage optional class from Tarnhelm’s Terrible Tome (my set of house rules for S&W and other 0e games). Here is a first pass at a Microlite74 Mnemonic Mage class and the rules for mnemonic magic....
A lot of Traveller players who enjoy fantasy RPGs have wondered what a “Fantasy Traveller” would look like: A fantasy RPG using Traveller-like rules where fantasy characters could trade and adventure across the seas of a fantasy world. Expeditious Retreat Press has released such a game, Worlds Apart. Based on the Mongoose Traveller...
I’ve been playing around with the Word document S&W Core Rules the last couple of days, and in a few hours of work have probably made at least 50% of the changes needed to incorporate my the 0e house rules I added to Microlite74 to get Microlite74 Extended. Some things have to be...
I’ve been asked a number of times since my 0e house rules first appeared as part of Microlite75 (now Microlite74 Extended) if I would not publish a variant of Swords & Wizardry with my house rules baked into the rules book. I’ve always held off because most people did not want a supplement,...
LibraryLass posted her Witch character class for Microlite74 on the Microlite74 Forum. It’s very well done and comes with its own spell list (with some “new” spells). This class will probably end up in Microlite74 3.0 Companion II, but you don’t need to wait for this (as yet unplanned) volume. You’ll find the...
While Microlite74 Plus will not be the final name of the product (at least I hope I can come up with something better), I have decided to go ahead and work on a not-really-microlite (in size) complete version of Microlite74 in mention a couple of weeks ago in this post: Microlite74 Next Generation?....
The first “release candidate” version of Microlite74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery is now available for download. For those who haven’t been following my blog posts on this new variant of Microlite74 3.0, Microlite74 3.0 Swords & Sorcery is a special edition of Microlite74 focused on campaigns in a “swords & sorcery” setting. That...
I’d like to announce I’ve started a new Microlite74 project (in addition to Microlite74 Swords & Sorcery), a campaign setting supplement I’m tentatively calling Darkmoor. This will be a reworking of Robert Conley’s entirely OGL open game content Blackmarsh setting. It’s an interesting setting, but I have some different ideas for its history...
A new draft (draft 6) of Microlite74 Swords & Sorcery is available to donors in the usual place with the usual password. There aren’t a lot of rules changes this time around. Mainly I’ve been working on monsters. I hope to have the monsters section finished this weekend and start work on treasure....
