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: Microlite2020 Release Candidate(s) for Proofreading

So there is mention of making a MND save in the description for minor magic, but saving throws are not defined anywhere. Actually, there are rules for saving throws. One sentence ("Saving throws are handled as skill checks.") in the section on Skill Checks. Hmm, I probably need to make th...

Re: Microlite2020 Release Candidate(s) for Proofreading

Stat bonus = (STAT-10)/2, round down." I left this with the original "round toward zero" as this is much different from "round down" if you are rounding a negative number. For example, if your stat is 7 (7-10) is -3. -3/2 is -1.5. Round down would be -2. Round towards zero ...

Re: Microlite2020 Release Candidate(s) for Proofreading

Glad I could help. I help my girlfriend with editting her first novel, so I have a smidge of experience in that capacity. ALL assistance in proofreading and editing is greatly appreciated. According to a test I once took, something like 90% of the English speaking population are better proofreaders...

Re: Microlite2020?

It says: "+1 to any background" Can this +1 be applied to a new background that you don't already have? Or is it limited to being used to increase a background you already had from the start? When leveling up? That's really up to the campaign setting and the GM. I'd allow adding a new bac...

Re: Microlite2020 Release Candidate(s) for Proofreading

If it's alright, I'm going to suggest a revision here since there appears to be plenty of space in the document for it. "Roll 4d6, drop the lowest die, and total the remaining 3. Allocate this total to one of the stats. Repeat for each stat. Stat bonus = (STAT-10)/2, round down." That rea...

Microlite2020 Release Candidate(s) for Proofreading

Here are the first release candidate for Microlite2020 and Microlite2020 Old School Edition. I believe they are "feature complete". This means it is time for proofreading for typos and text that may not be a clear as it should be. I'm horrible at proofreading so all help is much appreciated.

Re: Microlite2020?

It appears that starting HP isn't defined anywhere anywhere implicitly. From looking at the sample characters, I think that starting HP is supposed to be STR + 1. Close... It's one 1d6+STR. Somehow the second sentence in the Hits Points and Healing section ("First level characters have 1d6 + S...

I'm unfamiliar with HomeBrew. What is it?

An online page layout system for D&D-like layouts. A lot of 5e-style fan projects use it.

Re: Microlite2020?

Here are the next drafts of Microlite 2020 and Microlite2020 OSE. Barring y'all discovering major issues, the design work is done. The next stage is proofreading, text cleanup, etc. In other words, barring major issues the games will be moving from drafts to release candidates. Major change: I'm off...

Re: Microlite2020?

Glad I helped somehow. Never mind the rest, I made a mistake and assumed the stats start at 3, not 0. Every bit of help is appreciated -- especially in the proofreading department. If I had to make a living from proofreading I be living in a cardboard box and hunting rats for food. I'm truly terrib...
