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.

Re: A Modern Bard (without magic)

The bard from Dark Sun lost out on magic, but in return they got access to a lot of poisons and poisoncrafting. That might be a good starting point.

Re: Alcohol and Drug Use and Abuse

I think the best way to handle alcohol is to treat it like a poison: DC 10 Fortitude save or gain the Poisoned condition for one hour, DC and condition duration increases by +1 for each drink after the first.

Re: Thoughts on Specializations

Not much to report on, unfortunately. The Field Medic specialization is as complete as I would like it to be, because Amy is my favorite Phantasy Star II character and I wanted to do her abilities first that was the easiest specialization to complete: "You heal people. You get access to feats t...

Thoughts on Specializations

Still working on Microsty Star, which is an m20 game based on my favorite JRPG series, Phantasy Star. (Mostly Phantasy Star Online, but a lot of influence from the Genesis games.) Your character has a choice of three character classes (Hunters, which are big, strong, and tough, experts with melee we...

Re: Organizational Question

I asked one of my friends in my D&D group, and he suggested option 4, so I definitely think I'd go with that (mostly because another specialization is going to get some specific feats.) And you're close, quaffiene-- this is actually Phantasy Star inspired! (Specifically, it uses the three main c...

Organizational Question

This one's a unique question in that it doesn't ask about mechanics; instead, I'm asking about organizing part of my ongoing m20 project, Microsty Star. Specifically, one of the character specializations you can choose when you reach 2nd level is the Esper; the main benefit you get for becoming an E...

Re: Crafting

Repairing simple furniture might just be as simple as saying "Okay, you do it, no roll necessary." Same thing with building a small stone wall, enough to hem in some farm animals.

Making a stone wall to keep out an orcish horde? That would probably require a Knowledge (Int) check.

Thoughts for Science Fiction

Having some trouble thinking of a way to do classes for a sci-fi variant of m20. What I was thinking of was along these lines: You have a base class (soldier, scoundrel, scout, or scholar). These give you your base class functionality and choices for your character's abilities at every odd level. Yo...

Thank you! Looking forward to it! _

It took more that "a few days", but the PDF is available for download at the end of the original post in the thread.

Thanks, randalls! This is awesome =D

Re: Multiclassing in Microlite20 Purest Essence

If it were me, I would try it like this: Multiclass Fighters: Gain +1 to attack and damage rolls. Access to additional combat superiority bonus dependent on fighter level (not total level.) Gain +2 bonus to Physical rolls. Can wear any armor and use shields. Can use Dexterity bonus for attacking wit...
