[QUOTE="RandallS, post: 4694513, member: 63083"] Microlite74 Version 2.0 is now available for free download. Over 2000 copies of Microlite74 version 1.1 have been downloaded since its release on October 6th last year. Microlite74 is dedicated to the memory of E. Gary Gygax and Version 2.0, which is even closer to that the very first edition of the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game he co-authored over 30 years ago, is being released on the first anniversary of his passing. While Microlite74 is designed as an introduction to "old school" play for players more familiar with modern rules systems based on the Primary Fantasy SRD, it is a rules-lite OGL based game system that old school grognards – especially those who cut their gamer teeth on "0e" – should find equally enjoyable. It is also easy to modify with your own house rules or rules drawn from your favorite edition of the world’s most popular fantasy roleplaying game. The revised and expanded Microlite74 Version 2.0 features many changes and improvements made since the publication of version 1.1 of Microlite74 in 2008, including: [LIST] [*]The spell and monster lists have been rewritten to make Microlite74 much more compatible with 0e and 0e retro-clones. [*]Many more monsters and a few additional spells are included. [*]Stat, combat, and some other bonuses have been reduced from Microlite20 levels to levels more appropriate for 0e and Microlite74. [*]Optional rules that remove demi-human class and level limits have been added. [*]Spells lists are now alphabetical within each level. [*]Many minor tweaks in wording or rules have been made to correct typos, to improve clarity, or to make GM rules modifications and future expansions easier. [/LIST] Microlite74 Version 2.0 is available for download from the [url=http://www.retroroleplaying.com/content/microlite74]Microlite74[/url] page of the RetroRoleplaying.com web site. You can download the standard version or the booklet version. The standard version is 10 pages of small print (Microlite20-style) and is a 170K PDF. The booklet version is 20 pages and has larger type, cover pages, public domain art, and is a 2.2 meg PDF. A special digest-sized version will be available in the future. You can also download Microlite74 Version 2.0 directly from these links: [LIST] [*][url=http://www.retroroleplaying.com/record/click.php?id=9]Microlite74 2.0 Standard Download[/url] [*][url=http://www.retroroleplaying.com/record/click.php?id=8]Microlite74 2.0 Booklet Download[/url] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
