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: Microlite20 Fifth: Adamantine Edition

randalls, is the template(s) for files like this (or m20 Golden) available somewhere? It looks like HomeBrew styling, but I'd prefer to work locally and not on their web app. I've never seen anything but the PDF version of m20 Golden. I'm not sure about the Adamantine Edition. I don't have one, but...

Re: Microlite2020?

Maybe you've caught in a more recent draft, but thought I'd toss it out there. I have fixed it in the next draft, but thanks for mentioning it (as I often don't catch stuff like that -- I'm a truly bad proofreader). I was originally going to have Charisma as a stat in the OSE version given how impo...

Re: Microlite2020?

One thing I noticed right off the bat is that either the Arrays are a bit anemic or the Point-Buy is too OP. What I did was set up a quick spread sheet to tally up points when using the Point-Buy system. Then I made a copy in reverse that takes stat values and calculates the amount of points you wo...

Re: New? Introduce Yourself Here!

I'm called ravensron. Been playing D&D since '75, so to me all the incarnations and official "new" editions are just somebody's houserules. Currently, insofar as I ever get a chance to run a game, use my rules based on M20. It's always great to run into someone who has been playing as...

PS- In the racial background lists...
Instead of con-woman, which kinda implies only females are unscrupulous, how about con-artist?

Good catch! Changed in Draft 5. Thank you very much for mentioning it.

Re: Microlite2020?

Yay! My initiative idea is there as an option! :3 It's a good rule that worked well in playtest. I still don't really like the term Body Points. I think I'll call them Constitution Points instead. I've been using the term since 1977 -- when I stole borrowed the term and the concept from the first e...

I'm Aaron, fiction author and also player and DM of BECMI/1E/2E back in the day. Looking to get back into gaming in 2020.

Welcome! I've read some of your short fiction. I based (loosely) a character on the hero of "Bonebearer": a paladin charged with destroying necromancers.

Re: Microlite2020?

Here's Draft 4 of the Microlite20 2.0 rules. Major changes/additions: 1) Each class now has three "class abilities" (previously called "class powers" ) instead of a different number for each class. 2) Fighters lose their multiple attacks (which are generally a pain in play) but g...

Re: More m20 Thoughts

You can cast spells a certain number of times before you need to rest, as detailed in the chart below. You regain all expended spell slots after completing a short or long rest. .... | Level | Maximum Spells Known | Slots (1st)| Slots (2nd) | Slots (3rd) | Slots (4th) | |:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:| | ...

Re: Microlite2020?

I've finally had a chance to do some more writing (instead of just playtesting) on Microlite2020. Here's the latest drafts (yes, drafts, I decided that a separate "Old School Edition" made more sense that trying to combine the rules.) Major changes: The separate Microlite20 2.0 Old School ...
