In my game, I have put d20 crits back in (well...to an extent--see my 'house rules' document earlier in the thread for details). I just prefer a natural 20 being a possible critical, rather than it being automatic. Why use a scimitar when you can use a longsword? I don't know. Maybe you...

I was just kinda thinkin' the same thing. The more we change from the d20 standard, the harder it will be to use d20/D&D material for gaming without hefty re-working. The primary charm of m20 is that I can take our ruleset and pretty much use anything from WotC or the better 3rd-party...

It's an interesting take, but ranges (weapon/distance ranges, not crit ranges) are needed for ranged weapons. Maybe something like a full damage up to x ft., half damage at up to twice that distance, no damage beyond that distance. I also like the idea of the +1/+2 shield variance. (Although...

Personally, I prefer it as an ability; but not one exclusive to clerics. I made it an ability tied to belief in a deity. You have to believe, and you have to have a holy symbol. If you meet both those qualities, regardless of class, you can Turn Undead...as long as you're on good terms with...

Yep. I figured it, quite simply, as an attack form using the Magic Attack Bonus from greywulf's original document vs the target's AC. A bit simplistic, yes; but that's kind of the idea behind m20. I can tell ya that it's worked pretty well for my group in playtesting. Of course, you could...

Heh. At least he can open the program. My dinosaur of a computer won't even do that much. I'm probably missing some crucial file or other in Windows. Regards, Darrell

You might be looking at my 'house rules' core book, or maybe the original file. Those are in a larger format. The core rules were the first things that greywulf turned into a PocketMod. It's available at his site (linked elsewhere in the thread). Regards, Darrell

Mine are incorporated into my "basic" m20 document for my players. I've attached it below. Mine includes the CHA stat, rules for Turning Undead, and a few other changes. I can't think what all of 'em are off the top of my head--you'll have to compare my sheet with greywulf's original. At...

Great work, once again! :D :D My players will likely be getting these instead of my pdf (though the pdf will still be in my 'master' book. I really like the "base spell list = the spellbook/prayerbook, then add spells as you encounter/learn them" angle. I'm probably gonna use that one...

Bytor, those pocketmods are incredible! Maybe you should try to restructure the rtf/pdf file so that the pocketmod prints all the arcane spells on one 'half' of the page and all the divine spells on the other. That way, a spell caster could run with only half a pocketmod. :D Regards, Darrell

Seriously. I've now run eight games using m20 for my group (well...seven and a half, anyway). As of our last full-group game, it became official...we're using m20 as our base system from now on (well, m20 with my 'house rules' :) ). I didn't go the Pocketmod route, but I did format my...

You really should. I've run six games with the Microlite20 rules and no PHB/DMG/MM at the table...three of those games being spur-of-the-moment things that took me less than 30 minutes to prepare for (waaay less than the several hours our weekly sessions have been taking me using 3.5 rules as...

I was just thinking... Our eight pages covers roughly the same territory (in a trimmed-down manner, I'll grant you) as three 300+ page books... ...and the supplemental material for those books is about 95% table-ready for games played using our eight pages. Works for me, too! :D Regards...

That hasn't been a problem from my POV. :) I use one-inch margins and 9-point Verdana font for the basic documents because as I finish these things I'm putting 'em into a heavy clear vinyl folder thingy (used to be a menu from a local restaurant that shut down). I've got two of 'em...one...

Hello, all-- I got bored again this afternoon. The result? The Microlite20 Game Master's Guide. I took the "Other Hazards" paragraph from the latest version of the rules and expanded it a bit--more information about poisons (including listing for all the critters with 'poison' attacks listed...

To be honest, I've considered putting CHA back in, too. I tend to run urban campaigns a lot, and my players are very dependent on Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, etc. in regular D&D games. I've been thinking for a few days now about adding CHA to the abilities and adding a...

I'd thought about that, but it bugs me that only clerics can Turn Undead (it's always bugged me, as far back as OD&D). I'm thinking about making it a type of ability usable by anyone with faith in the holy symbol used. That way it's more in line with "classic" vampire movies/stories, where the...

Actually, hp = STR + 1d6/level now. Assuming a 13th-level mage (minimum level to cast 7th-level spells) of average STR (10) with median hit points per level (say, an average of 3 hp/level x 13 + a total of 39 hp): 39 + 10 = 49 hp total The mage would be able to cast 5 7th-level spells, and...

Well.... I got kind of bored last night, and sat down and made an expanded Monster List. I added in more Animals (including stat entries for all the animals available for purchase in the Equipment List pdf, and putting in entries for bears, snakes, and other hazards), Dinosaurs, Dire Animals...

...and here it is. I had to take out a few arcane spells to get it all to fit on one page after I added the durations. (Any spell without a listed duration, by the way, is "instantaneous.") I took out one spell from each level, making it 6 spells per spell level, just like the divine spells...
