    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Bytor, I agree. Modern should just add on to Microlite20 as a supplement, not duplicate anything. Don't worry about the formatting for the pocketbook just yet. I'm going to playtest the Sneak and Fighter rules tonight with my group. I'll add them in if we're happy then upload a new core...

    A beginning is a critical time...

    I like the idea from wizards.com a few months ago. Start the campaign by saying "Roll initiative!". I did that last game then told them they're in a marketplace. Some thugs have pushed over the tables and made off with some daggers from a weaponstall. They give chase immediately, and the game...

    What's wrong with splitting the party?

    I've split a party intentiionally several times in ooooo...30-odd years of gaming. It can be done, and work very well, if handled carefully. One Call of Cthulhu game I forcibly split the party by having a Tentacled Horror errupt out of an alleyway just as the party passed by. The party was...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Lol! I promise not to sing. Not even in the wood with an acoustic guitar. Ever. Yet again, I blink and you guys kick out more goodness than I could possibly imagine. I'll try to cover everything here....... It's great to get on rpg.net with this. I guess we're kinda official now, not some...

    Mike Mearl's on simplifying skills in D&D

    I'm kinda proud of the system from Microlite20 : There are just 4 skills : Physical, Subterfuge, Knowledge and Communication. Roll higher than the given Difficulty Class to succeed. Skill rank = your level + any bonus due to your class or race. Skill roll = d20 + skill rank + whatever stat...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Consider my Thunder completely stolen :) Great work, duly uploaded to the download page. That will more than suffice until you, me, or anyone else picks it up and comes up with a revised version. I like your additions to combat and the supporting cast list. Terrific stuff. By the time I've...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Bytor, I'll be happy for you to do the PocketMod from the .rtf up at http://home.greywulf.net/m20/downloads.html. Remove what's not needed and add in what you think may be of use. I reckon we could lose the monsters and add in.....well, I'll leave it to you :) The fast packs maybe, or a short...

    A powergamer in a non-powergame.

    Ouch. I feel your pain. That's not role-playing to my mind. You're playing through a story of the GM's making and you are just Extras. His vision for the plot seems to be more important than your enjoyment, which is a shame. If everything is spelled out in advance that's one thing, but if you...

    Low-CR creatures are more useful, but less popular

    I agree; it can be difficult to scale down Monsters to an appropriate power level. The Fiend Folio stayed on my bookshelf, untouched for months before my gamers reached a power level high enough for it to be usable. In a way though that's a good thing, because the players do get a feeling that...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    If anyone wants to re-do the core rules as a pocketmod to bring the style in line with the other books, go right ahead; I'll gladly update it on the site too. No house rules please though - that way we're all singing the same bassline. I plan to pull all of the House Rules together at somepoint...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Great stuff! I've updated the versions on the "official" site so they've now got the 20 license too, and added in Bytor's adventure to the download page too :) I'll have my adventure finished later tonight (it's 19:26 here in the dark, cold UK) so that'll be uploaded in the morning. After...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Yes please! If it's uploaded without one though, I'll add it myself before putting it on the site. Thanks.

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Oh I like James Buck Pocketbooks! Thanks, bytor. They suit Microlite20's on-the-fly dungeon crawl nature perfectly. We need to add the d20 license to the back of every pdf, btw. I can do that to every pdf I upload to http://home.greywulf.net/m20 easily, so if you put Pocketmods up here, I'll...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Yeh. We could just call it "M"! Don't worry, there's no plans to make it diceless - but it might be a useful addition for those times when you're Dice Constrained.

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    By bad - I overwrote it in error! Fixed now - the one on the site is the now with the fastpacks included. I agree, I like that one better too :) I'm with you on the dice. No one ever borrows my dice. Ever. I have.........uhhhh.... too many to count! Talking of which, anyone fancy creating a...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Bytor, that's priceless :) Uploaded to the fans page. You're an uber geek if you know what the highest possible number is that you can roll if you total all the dice. I'm in the middle of uploading the terrific pocketbooks now..........

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Thanks again :) I'll update the download page (or is that downdate the upload page?) tomorrow. I'm watching Mel Brooks' "Dracula - Dead and Loving It" right now, and laughing too much to think straight. Man, I love bad movies. Oh, and Temple of K'thu'uk (my first Microlite20 adventure) is...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    James, I'm honoured by your presence on this humble thread. I love small, rules-light systems and the more the merrier. I'd love to see all of them formatted as Pocketbooks like m20 then wecould have an offical weigh-in to see which is smallest. It would all be down to the weight of the ink, I...
