Welcome to Microlite20
Submitted by greywulf on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 11:05Do you remember when the gaming table was full of pizza and soda, not rulebooks, miniatures and dungeon tiles? Do you yearn for a role-playing game that doesn’t require weight training to carry all the books? Do you want to be able to hold all the rules in your head - or in your back pocket? And do you still want to use all those lovely monsters, adventures and game worlds too?
So do we!!

Microlite20 is a minimalist role-playing game designed to be usable with the majority of d20 supplements, rules and adventures with little or no advance preparation. The rules for character generation, combat, magic and level advancement take up a single sheet of paper, meaning it is perfect for introducing role-playing to new players, gaming one-shot adventures or tailoring into your own game system. Downloads PDF editions of the rules, supplements, adventures, including pocketbook editions. These use the PocketMod folding technique to create miniature books of the rules, spell lists, monsters and more – true backpocket gaming! Core Rules This is the real thing. Also available from the download section as a PDF. The Macropedia Everything else: User-contributed House Rules, suggestions and expansions. Here you will find alternative magic systems, mass combat, and more.
Spammers or anyone found to be abusing the open nature of this project will be shot on sight. Thank you for your co-operation.

So begins work on the main site.
Submitted by SethDrebitko on Fri, 04/02/2010 - 05:41I have started the process of transferring over blog posts, and stories from microlite20.net to koboldenterprise.com. I will make sure to transfer over the 6 or 7 pages worth of posts and stories before the month is over including all comments as well. The goal here is just a simple smooth transition over, right down to the day and time.
We are victorious!
Submitted by SethDrebitko on Thu, 04/01/2010 - 04:49Hello, I spent the weekend digging into the site transfer! Any one with author accounts may have noticed e-mails with passwords to koboldenterprise.com. This is what will become the new stomping grounds for microlite20. Eventually every relevant page here will forward to its equivalent page at the new site so no links out there become irrelevant.
The state of the union...
Submitted by SethDrebitko on Thu, 03/25/2010 - 18:32So as your Benevolent Dictator I would like to continue a rule of openness, full of epic and win; with this in mind a quick update. Right now I am at a point where I am just waiting for back end website stuff to resolve. At the moment to no fault of the new host I am using, the server wont save any of the users I create for the database. As a result I have had to use the auto installers the server offers.
Changes to come!

Well hello there...
Submitted by SethDrebitko on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 08:40Hello all!
Signing on to give a quick hello and introduction to everyone, as I am sure your all wondering who this Seth fellow is. While there is an interview over at http://www.stargazersworld.com/2010/03/13/microlite20-under-new-ownership/ with Andrew Modro, I figured I'd post some info up here and at the current forum. I want to give some assurance to everyone as to the general direction I will be taking things and what to expect in the future for Microlite20.
Microlite20, sold!
Submitted by greywulf on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 08:34I am happy to announce that Microlite20 has a new owner. I received a whole load of enquiries regarding the rights to M20, and want to thank each and every person who took the time, thought and care to make an offer. If I could cut Microlite20 into tiny word-sized pieces so you could each own a part of it, I would.
Of course technically I could have done just that, putting Microlite20 into the public domain or granting shared ownership to the collective fanbase. I could, but feel that Microlite20 is a project which needs a leader. It needs a benevolent dictator who can control the core of the system and act as the centre for all the many directions which Microlite20 can take (indeed, has already taken). Any number of people who made offers could have taken on the role, and this made choosing one out of the many a particularly difficult decision. It's certainly not one which I took lightly.
So with immediate effect, Microlite20's new owner is Seth Drebitko. Through our back-and-forth emails, he impressed me by asking the right questions about the game and the microlite20.net site, and with the direction he wants to take the game. It's a fine balancing act to be able to keep something the same yet also improve upon it, and feel that Seth is able to do what's needed to make Microlite20 (the site, and the core) the best it can possibly be.
I trust you will wish him well and hope you look forward to the future. Now I can take a back seat and let someone handle the driving in my stead, I'm looking forward to it very much indeed.
Microlite74 and Eberron
Submitted by Elephant on Sat, 07/18/2009 - 07:32Today I ran a one-shot for a friend using Eberron and Microlite74. It was a weird blend of conflicting designs that didn't end up running very smoothly.
Microlite74, of course, focuses on tweaking Microlite to resemble old-school brown-box OD&D -- about as old-school as you can get. I would describe it as almost of a gritty feel. Eberron, OTOH, is inspired by movies like Indiana Jones -- several steps beyond high fantasy into a sort of pulp and dark adventure feel.
Microlite20 Psionics!
Submitted by greywulf on Thu, 01/15/2009 - 16:19From the pen of San Kim comes Microlite20 Psionics, a 'litified rendition of the SRD Psionics rules complete with the Psion and Psychic Warrior classes, Powers, Items and Monsters!

UPDATE: San has revised this document further, making it even smaller (in the best Microlite tradition), added additional credits and a shiny updated layout and logo. If you've already downloaded it, grab it again for the update!
UPDATE 2: Now available in handy pocketmod format!
