    BFRPG is such a good system and the community is amazing. I actually wrote an adventure that was included in the Adventure Anthology 3 because I love it so much ("The Cult of the Green Skull").

    Good that you are putting spotlight on other games. Always appreciated. I own and have tried Basic Fantasy. I can definitely see the appeal to first time and long time players. For me, it was a little too basic (pun intended) then I want to go. But I am so glad that it exists. The freedom of doing whatever you can think of instead of being locked into a skill set or action choice is always great.

    Nice review. Basic Fantasy is the best bang for the buck in the OSR. It was my first dive into retro-clones. I still love it.

    BFRPG is one of the best OSR systems. It’s based on classic D&D and with its supplements it has enough flexibility to be a better B/X or a more streamlined AD&D. I’m running Barrowmaze with it right now and it’s been a great time.

    I gave the core rule book to my players. I even give them away when I'm at a Con if the Con has door prizes. I have no problem giving 4 or 5 of the books to a Con.

    Why would I switch from BECMI (which I’ve been playing for 37 years) to a game that is clearly a knock off of it?

    • @TheMotleyGM-ij6rq
      @TheMotleyGM-ij6rq  3 дні тому

      You are somewhat right, BFRPG is a retro clone that organizes and streamlines b/x and becmi. If you like your gaming experience by all means continue. You could probably use the adventure anthologies or bestiary though. All for free in pdf form!
