Microlite20 is an OGL role-playing game containing character generation¸ combat and rules for magic¸ monsters and level advancement. We have ripped the guts out of d20 leaving just the essence of the game. Skills are much simplified¸ there are no feats and combat is as simple as it gets. The original Microlite20 is a trimmed-down¸ subminiature version of the Primary Fantasy Tabletop RPG SRD rules that has been designed to be quick and easy to play. The goal was to create a simpler game¸ but one where all of the resources of Primary Fantasy SRD (monsters¸ spells¸ adventures and equipment) could be used without conversion. It was designed for the 3.5 SRD but will work with the 3.0 SRD or even the PF SRD. 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 (and judging by the number of Microlite20 variants available¸ tailoring Microlite20 into your own game system is very popular).
What is The Microlite20 RPG Collection?
The Microlite20 RPG Collection is the basic Microlite20 game with a huge collection of supplemental rules and variants as well as a large number of games based on the original Microlite20 system. While the original system was designed for fantasy games as are many of the games based on Microlite20 included in this free collection¸ this collection also includes Microlite20-based science fiction¸ horror¸ superhero¸ cyperpunk¸ espionage¸ etc. games. Also included are Microlite20-based versions of popular games from the 1970s and 1980s and Microlite20 versions of 4e and 5e. Finally¸ there are "large" versions of Microlite20 that include more of the 3.x SRD to make more complete games that while still much smaller that the original are complete enough that one does not have to refer to the SRD to play.
