Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

Excellent, Walt! Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, remember. Exactly which eye, I'm not sure.

Consider yourself first entrant on the hallowed M20 Pocketbook fans page. Let me know a URL and I'll put up a link to your site.

Meantime, I'm writing an Adventure.

The Temple of K'thu'uk
A Microlite20 adventure suitable for four 1st level adventurers.

Not so long ago the hill and it's environs was home to one of the stranger Kobold tribes of the realm. The entire area was deeply forested, and the Tribe of K'thu'uk held sway. These Verdant Kobolds called the tree branches their home, worshipping the bones of their Green Dragon ancestor in their whistling, chirping language.

Then the humans came. They tore down much of the woodland to build their farms and villages. The Tribe of K'thu'uk fought back as only they knew how, erecting ingenious traps along forest paths, luring hunters into deadly swampland and planting assassin vines and slumberspores where humans were likely to tread.

The humans grew to fear the Forest, and reacted in the way all Humans respond to things they fear. They destroyed it. Much of the forest was taken by fire leaving a vast tract of ash that has only become usable farmland in recent years. What remains of the the forest nestles atop the hill surrounded by a river – a fortunate defence against the flames, and the Verdant Kobold's saviour.

Hidden in the copse is a cave mouth underneath a rock outcropping shaped like a dragon's jaw. This is the entrance to the Temple of K'thu'uk, now the Verdant Kobold's home and holiest of holies.

You have been asked by the Sheriff of Ashton (the closest Human Village) to clear the kobolds from the area once and for all. Behemial Shoreson, one of the villagers, was killed in the Trapped Copse just a week ago. Enough is enough.

It is now!! :D

Nice work on the PocketMod, Greywulf. I'd never seen those before yesterday and I'm hooked on 'em. The fact that M20 now exists in the same format has me tickled.

What font size do you recommend to use? I'd like to stay consistent with the adventure you're working on as well :)
 


I've been following this thread for a while and it keeps getting better and better. Great job everyone!

That's a nice gesture, but it's a copyright violation to actually use them. The top one *might* be OK, but you're not allowed to modify the d20 logo and I don 't know whether the first logo counts. You're also not allowed to use it without the d20STL or with character creation or advancement.

Here is my entry (yep, I didn't buy into that 3.5 "upgrade" stuff! :p ):

By the way, using a character sheet as the cover of the booklet - superb!!
 

Great stuff! Meepo, your pic has been added to the fans page. Keep them coming!

I created the Microlite20 Pocketbook the long way round - working out the correct page size in Open Office, setting custom margins and using 6point type. Ouch! It's only when I can to reboot into XP to use the PDFtoPocketMod convertor that I realised I didn't need to do any of that; it converts and resizes for you, automatically. I'm going to keep a close eye on the font and size - right now I'm using Verdana 14point. That should scale down nicely and still be legible.

Meantime, want a sneak peek of the dungeon map? Ok!

Yes, there is no Room 10. There's a Very Good Reason for that :)

I created this using the demonweb's excellent dungeon generator, screengrabbed it and prettified it up using GIMP. From there on, it's all my own work.

Oh, and did I mention that tree-dwelling kobolds rock? I'm using some of the traps from Darrell's GM Guide to keep everything neat and tied together.

This is going to be available in both Pocketbook and normal sized for the Hard Of Seeing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to populate Room 5..........

Good point my eyebeams, sad to say - much as I'd love to use them!

How about an M20 logo that looks like the d20 logo, only smaller and simpler?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.................
