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: WotC, the OGL 1.*, and SRD 3.*

Will this alleged upcoming licence change affect Microlite in any way? IANAL, this is my understanding. In short, Microlite was published under a license that Hasbro wants to revoke. They have said that you must change to the new license because the old license will be gone. If it isn't changed to ...

Re: Microlite20 Facebook Group

I am referring to Microlite20 Fans.

I would like to make it a different group because I haven't kept up with removing spam and weirdness, although the OGL discussion is pretty good so far. I totally understand why folks would not stick around.

Microlite20 Facebook Group

Hello everyone, Apologies if this is the wrong subforum. I love M20 and it got me back into gaming over 20 years ago. I joined the fb group and became a moderator when Robin sold it to a friend of mine. He has since left it, but I confess that I haven't done a good job of moderating the fb group. I ...

Re: Microlite2020?

I like the new initiative idea. Maybe include an optional rule where initiative is just 10+DEX and only roll a DEX check in cases where multiple characters have the same initiative? Could make things run a smidge faster. I really like this idea. Makes things go quickly and it adds only 2 sentences ...

Re: Microlite2020?

Draft 2 looks cool; I do like that skills have been replaced with Backgrounds (though you know you're gonna have one player protest "But I have a Soldier background, why can't I add that to my attack roll?" =p Main question is can you boost a Background over 5 points when you level up, or...

Oh ...

Re: Microlite2020?

They will be gone (at least in initial playtest versions, if not having them breaks things they will probably have to return in some form). I just haven't edited all references to them out of the draft rules yet. They should be mostly gone in Draft 2 -- mostly because I'm sure I miss at least one s...

Re: Microlite2020?

Here is an extremely early draft of Microlite2020. Backgrounds and HP/BP added. Minor changes to combat rules to adjust for HP/BP. Minor change to Advancement rules for Backgrounds. I like this a lot. Not too different from M20, but lots of ways to customize things without zillions of pages of skil...

Re: New? Introduce Yourself Here!

I'm John Payne. I have been playing RPGs since 1982 that started with the B in B/X and ended in high school with an amalgamation of B/X, BC, 1e DMG, MM, MM2, and Spelljammer. I also played TopSecret SI, Renegade Legion, and Shadowrun. In college, I played ARS Magica, TSR Marvel, more Shadowrun, and ...

Re: Microlite2020?

Microlite20 does not have enough mechanical bits and bobs to appeal to people who want to charop. In fact, meaningful charop is almost impossible in Microlite20 (and most of its variants). I think this is a huge plus for Microlite20 -- system mastery is not needed to create a playable and enjoyable...
