I took one of the foam core presentation boards I sliced up, and made it a #BasicFantasy GM screen.

So I ran a session of my West Marches #BasicFantasy game today.
My sessions are paper mini heavy, but I accidentally grabbed the wrong box of minis, so I had to improvise an adventure with the ones I did bring.
So I had a whole adventure involving zombies, wild boars, and the animated scarecrows of the Guardian of the Corn.
Honestly, It was probably better than the thing I had planned.

Four sessions in on my Basic Fantasy West Marches-style campaign. Had my first TPK.
Everyone seemed to have fun (and they liked my paper scenery), but I'm wondering if if might start the players at level 3, rather than 1, just to give them a slightly better chance of survival.
This would also mean I could start throwing more interesting monsters at them.

Ran my first session of my West Marches campaign today. Used the Basic Fantasy rule set along with some paper miniatures.
Went quite well, actually. Only one player died.
Protip: After you turn an undead creature, leave it alone.

Which of these #TTRPG games do you think I should try to run?

Thinking about a new game for 2025 in my local game group.
I've always wanted to try running a West Marches style-campaign
I'm thinking of keeping it simple - Basic Fantasy OSR rules in a standard D&D environment. Nothing exotic - the usual D&D monsters in a hex/dungeon crawl environment.
I'm hoping to use this as an on-ramp game for new players.
I'll also use miniatures. Cheap paper minis, but minis all the same.

Check out this video by Chris Gonnerman, author of the Basic Fantasy TTRPG. Very aggravating. Someone named Madison Brooks copy pasting Basic Fantasy works, calling them Demons and Dragons, and up charging. Scrubbing the credits. #ttrpgs #tabletopGaming #DemonsAndDragons #BasicFantasy
So aggravating to see someone trying to make a quick buck by stealing and taking credit, just because something is CC. And can't even follow the Basic CC guidelines, when an author is generous enough to put their work in the CC. Anyway, good video, worth watching.

Don't steal from the #BasicFantasy #TTRPG community. We helped put this #RolePlayingGame for the benefit of the players, not for someone to put their own name on it and sell it.

Having been a but a wee lad in the early #80s my first #DnD was the #BECMI boxed sets. I didn't get to play much, but I read and reread those things constantly.
One thing I still don't really jive with is the demi-human classes. I mean, if you were looking for who stole the gems, well, don't bother with the elves -- they can't be thieves and don't have thief skills!
So, #BasicFantasy is *chef's kiss* for me. Separate classes and races. And also, no alignment?! Woo!

Why did this "Monster Manual of NPCs" stop at Level 9?

Just got a hardcover copy of the 4th edition of the Basic Fantasy RPG
You remember that whole rigmarole about WOTC and the OGL? The people at Basic Fantasy sure as hell do.
They've taken out everything that could possibly linked to the OGL, and placed the book under a CC BY-CA
As always, you can pick up all the Basic Fantasy PDFs for free at https://www.basicfantasy.org/
The physical books are ludicrously cheap on Amazon & Lulu.
The game itself is a solid little BX retro-clone with a few updates (Ascending AC, most notably). All of the core books and supplements are available as ODT files so you can make your own modified versions.
