The Microlite games are neat.
The Microlite games are neat. Originally shared by Randall Stukey The final "1.0 Silver" version of Microlite81 Advanced is finished at last and is now available for free download. Microlite81 Advanced takes the basic B/X-based rules of Microlite81 and pairs them with the classes, spells, monsters, and treasure of 1e producing a game with Microlite20-based rules that plays much like the B/X-1e combo that many people played in the early 1980s. Like Microlite81 Complete, Microlite81 Advanced is a full set of rules -- which means that while it is much easier for new players and GMs to use, it is not really a "microlite" set of rules. Like the other three Microlite81 games, Microlite81 Advanced is free to download, free to play, and except for a few words that are product identity open game content under the OGL. http://blog.retroroleplaying.com/2015/11/microlite81-advanced-is-now-available.html

#teamhomo Originally shared by Ciro Villa New study based on Dental analysis suggests that Homo Floresiensis was a separate species from modern humans! "(Phys.org)—A team of researchers affiliated with the National Museum of Nature and Science in Japan, The University of Wollongong in Australia and The National Research and Development Centre for Archaeology, in Indonesia, has performed the first comprehensive analysis of the teeth from the skeletal remains of several of the creatures found on the Indonesian Island of Flores starting back in 2003—they are reporting that their examination has revealed that the creatures were indeed members of a separate species from modern humans, not modern humans with microcephaly. In their paper uploaded to the open access site PLoS ONE, the team describes their analysis and what they found that led them to their conclusions."

Update: Patton was a Mind Flayer and blew up Screwball with a save-or-die effect. Originally shared by Casey G. Sgt. Screwball and his crew listen to General Patton's briefing to the 1st Armored division outside the village of Barovia, Ravenloft on July 13th, 1944. So, fall in! It's time for Weird Wars: Ravenloft !
Scarlet Heroes thoughts
Scarlet Heroes thoughts Combat in Scarlet Heroes is pretty abstract because of the Fray Die. This gives you some room to interpret just what exactly is going on when you mow through eight kobolds in one round. I realized that animal companions or familiars are a perfectly good explanation for Fray Die damage. In cases where the PC doesn’t get their Fray Die (when an enemy has more HD than the player has levels unless the PC is a wizard) then the companion is just batted aside or ineffective and the hero has to take it on alone. No muss, no fuss. The Fighter or Thief becomes a Ranger and the Cleric becomes a Druid by tweaking a special effect.

5e has that optional rule where you use Proficiency Dice instead of a Proficiency Bonus, so that +2 = +1d4, +3= +1d6, +4=+1d8, etc. You could do that with ability score bonuses and magic item bonuses too. A +1 could be a d2. No modifiers, just extra dice. Might be fun.

Opinions and thoughts on the Slave Lords series? I'm looking for something to adapt for my 5e cyberpunk campaign and this series doesn't seem like it would need too much tweaking. Cults and corporations could be kidnapping people and mutants to do hideous experiments on them in preparation for an attempt at mind-controlling millions of people Snow Crash style.
