Fantasy Lite: Basic Player's Guide (d20)
 |
Quicker. Easier. Streamlined.
Remember when playing fantasy role-playing games was "quick and easy?" Remember the nostalgia you first felt at playing in a game? The "kinder¸ simpler" rules that make the game accessible even to younger minds? When plots were simpler and the story was heroic - "protect the kingdom¸ slay the dragon¸ rescue the princess?"
Simplicity is back. While trying to introduce someone to a role-playing game can overwhelm them with options and rules¸ this work is designed to keep things simple and presentable. You can drop this work into the lap of an 8-10 year old who has never played RPGs before and get him an understanding of and an ability to contribute to a game¸ completely by the rules¸ in an hour or less. More experienced gamers will already be familiar with the material in this work¸ but may wish to use it to introduce their friends into gaming. Show them that gaming is fun!
This product is intended to bring to the table a "core" system compatible with the World's Most Famous Role-playing Game that is so simple and streamlined that you can drop it into the lap of an 8-10 year old who has never played RPGs before and get him an understanding of and an ability to contribute to a 3/3.5E game¸ completely by the rules (albeit with less tactics since I have deliberately excised some of the options in favor of simplicity) in an hour or less. That's a tall order¸ but I think it can be done.
Note that this is focused on players¸ not GMs¸ so you will need to have an experienced GM to run things¸ but this is very much an "introductory" product designed to get the newcomer to the game up to speed in a minimum of time and with a minimum of effort.
