UltraMicrolite20 - Uses a d20 only, nifty combat engine, no magic system. I think rycanada came up with this, not sure. http://wiki.greywulf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Macropedia Rank20 - D20 compatible, Ultramicrolite20 roots, skill rank system, magic system included. Info posted over the last 3-4...

Is there a campaign setting map yet? A little adventure/campaign creation will be a nice break from all the thought about rules and rules systems. PIlsnerquest

rycanada was right about public domain fantasy artwork, it takes a lot of sifting through all kinds of ... stuff. I finally gave up on public domain for the day and then I lucked out at Larry Elmore's website. In the Q&A on his web site he allows for use of his images if credit is given to...

I think it would be 1 for 1, 1 point derived from the magic check roll = 1 point damage but don't quote me on that. rycanada - I added "Rank20 rycanada" to the Realms of Renown OGL. If you don't want it their let me know. I also didn't know if you had a copyright date so I put down 2007. Does...

Wow, the Open Ended Magic looks very solid the way all the pieces have been put together. Nothin left to do now but play. (In the second example with Norris, I may have missed something but it looks like Norris got 1 extra point too many compared to his final magic roll result.) Pilsnerquest

Instantaneous default, yeah that makes sense. And I don't think it would be a loophole for characters to not spend a point on duration as some spells would benefit from lasting an entire round. Another good idea, this thread is a goldmine. Do you limit the type of spell this can be done with...

It looks great for Microlite, and I would use it exactly the way you have it written out for it. What I'm using is a modified version of Ultramicrolite20, the one you checked out, using a level-less idea, where casters are only going to be able to generate a max of 5 points (minimum of 1 on a...

I really like where this is going for ultramicrolite and rycanada's system for magic. Using the magic roll/magic attack, whatever you want to call it, and having the caster designate how the roll is divided amongst effect, duration, area of effect and range is simpy brilliant. It literally can...

GM - A goblin is approaching you. PLAYER - I'll swing my axe at it. GM - Okay, pick a number between 1-20. PLAYER - 8! GM - You missed. PLAYER - 13! GM - Missed PLAYER - 6, no 4! GM - Missed, and missed. Now the goblin swings at you, pick a number between 1-20. PLAYER - 20. GM - Hit! And it's a...

Absolutely, thanks for breaking down the areas you found questionable. I can definitely see your points. I like how this looks, clean and simple explanation on what to do with a higher roll. Are you using the 4x5 magic rules in your games? If you do, or have, how did you work area of effect...

Thanks for taking a look at the Realms of Renown guidelines. Could you give me an idea of what caused your concern with the 5 points for for 1 point of effect that gave you most problems. I would like to iron-out any grey areas the magic rules leave, which I am hoping more examples may just...

Here's a link to some rules based off of UltraMicrolite20 and a bit of Simple20 called Realms of Renown. Realms of Renown Guidelines The rules are almost 2 pages long, the Appendix almost another 2 and the notes on some of the reasons and decisions on game mechanics 1 more page. I'm...

Like this table, short snd sweet. How about something for a prone character or opponent. Pilsnerquest

I I'm glad someone else mentioned this. I was blaffled by the magic attack bonus and finally just altered my rules to state it was used for physical spell attacks (since the mage is using his mind to control the magic arrow, missile, etc., not his dexterity) and the target uses their AC for...

It is a consolation. Everyday I question why I'm trying to start games outside of the D&D D20 juggeranaut. Okay, got time for three, then it's time to get back to serious game stuff. jiet : HD1 (4hp), AC15, Natural +2 (2d2-2) Jiet are spirits who haunt a person's dreams for three straight...

A seperate ultramicrolite20 thread...boo, it's microlite, just more micro! Sounds like you ,kensanata, had a great gaming session and I would have handled the five Sub+DEX rolls for the thieves and one Sub+Will for the PC exactly that way. As for Rank20 I like the class rank idea. I was always...

These ultramicrolite rules are really growing on me though compatibility with SRD D20 is flying out the window. Was mulling over how SRD spells would translate over to the simplified magic from the above post and how most everything can be resolved with the 5 points of magic roll = 1 point of...

I'm not sure who worked up the ultramicrolite20 rules (rycanada?) but I had mostly skipped over them until finally they caught my eye. I tweaked them a tad to give characters some depth, multiclass type ability and magic while bidding a fond ado to character levels. Each bump of a stat gives a...

That's a neat system for player recognition, especially how you relate it to a DC check. I had been using my Renown stat as a kind of competition between players by keeping a Renown list. Players come and go and characters perish but they are always left on the list so all players can see how...

Hey all, Been haunting the EN Microlite20 forum since Snikle pointed all of us this way from FUM where we've been using, and abusing, the rules. Love the ruleset and the continuous ideas, improvements and additions to them. Here's a couple of houserules that have been thrown into the mix...
