[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 4403421, member: 4285"] Apologies for the delay in replying, Urizen - I'd half completed my answer then ENWorld ate my post yesterday. Gaaaaah! I'll try again....... Welcome to the wonderful world of Microlite20 :) The booklets you're seeing are PocketMod Editions of the rules. These are single-sheet prints that are folded in a special way to make a miniature 8-page booklet - perfect for backpocket gaming. Along with the Core Rules, there's booklets providing Spell Lists, Monsters, a GM Guide, a variant for Modern gaming and more; they're all available from the [URL="http://microlite20.net/node/8"]download page[/URL]. When it comes to spells, it's possible to use them straight from D&D or the SRD if you're willing to adjudicate and simplify as you go. Or, hit the Download page for ready-made m20 spell lists (or [URL="http://microlite20.net/node/64"]here[/URL] and [URL="http://microlite20.net/node/65"]here[/URL]) :) Part of the fun of microlite20 is that it begs to be tweaked and customized to suit your style of play. If you don't mind deviating from D&D's way of working, there's also the [URL="http://microlite20.net/node/66"]Four by Five[/URL] magic system which comes closer to the style of magic found in many classics of fantasy literature. And Harry Potter. Monsters are ridiculously simple to create. Check out my article [URL="http://microlite20.net/node/43"]about this very thing[/URL]; it's straightforward to use D&D monsters as-is too, so those Monster Manuals and published adventures are fodder for M20 too. If that's not enough, there's always the [URL="http://wiki.greywulf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Macropedia/Critters"]Critters[/URL] random monster generator over on the old site (steadily being migrated by yours truly). Hope that all helps! I look forward to hearing more about your adventure paths :) [/QUOTE]
