It's a current RPG.net darling. Which means almost noone out side of a few internet forums will have heard of it, but those who have tend to think it's the BEST GAME EVAR.JDJarvis wrote:Spirit of the century the #2 rated game on RPG-net (while i'm typing this)...I've never heard of it. Not that it might not in facxt be the #2 game of all tiem in quality but ...who the heck ever heard of it?
Pretty cool. Useful when you want to quickly roll up a party of adventurers. Nicely done.James Jeffers wrote:I've been posting updates and bug fixes to the character generator at http://bfrpg.lincolnswar.com/.
Lately I've:Enjoy!
- added racial and class special abilities, like "turning" the undead and elven resistance to paralysis attacks,
added a link that will generate a PDF of the current character,
fixed some bugs with the generation code.
Wow, that is just too cool. Great job! I'm just peeking in on BFRPG now (shame on me, I know), and here we have an awesome character generator that works in the browser (and therefore on my cursed mac!)James Jeffers wrote:I liked Basic Fantasy RPG so much, I decided to give back to the community.
I present a Basic Fantasy RPG Character Generator! http://bfrpg.lincolnswar.com/
Now, a newly minted 1st level PC is just a mouse click away!
hee hee hee Excellent! I hope it goes well for you.Burnicus wrote:Hi all. Just found this and I have to say it's a great blend. I hope to use it for some Play by Posts.
All the supplementary articles will, hopefully, become part of a collected work I'm calling the Olde Dungeoneer's Almanack. I recommend you repost your suggestions in the discussion thread for that work:Burnicus wrote:I've been looking over the Jester class...
Basic Fantasy RPG has no official alignment rules. There is an alignment supplement, but it's basically a reworking of the 3.5E SRD alignment rules. I'd like to create an Alignment Designer's Kit document, discussing the various approaches to alignment and allowing the GM to choose an approach that suits him (or her). One size does not fit all, I've learned... which is, in my opinion, the main reason alignments are such a bone of contention.thomaskolter wrote:For alignments I was thinking on the matter why not just have three: Evil, Good and Neutral I don't see any reason to get more detailed for the game. You can require evil characters if mail have big greasy mustaches and cackle maybe.
(Please, break up your suggestions so I can respond to them more easily.) The fact that Clerics have no spell at level 1 is by design. You can change that for your own game, of course, but please don't expect me to change the Core Rules just because you asked.thomaskolter wrote:I do have three suggestions for the already existing classes give clerics a spell at Level 1 should only require a chart adjustment
Here again, the weapon choices allowed for Magic-Users is by design, and unlikely to change.thomaskolter wrote:and I suggest give wizards access to easier to use ranged weapons the light crossbow and the sling. It won't overly influence them but make them at least a bit useful at first level.
I generally allow a starting character to know two or three spells, pretty well regardless of Intelligence; such decisions are always up to the GM.thomaskolter wrote:And for Wizards more starting spells I would suggest as an optional rule +1 extra spell per bonus point in Intelligence. Although they could still only memorize and cast one at 1st level.
I have a "Weapon Specialization" rule I am planning to release as part of a Combat Options supplement; it's weaker than your rule initially but becomes more powerful at higher levels.thomaskolter wrote:As for fighters I suggest one class ability the Weapon of Choice. They select ONE sort of weapon like a longsword or a bow and get a +2 to hit and +1 damage with it. After all the others get something that makes them stand out. But only for fighters not a combination class. Optional of course. I think they need one think to make them stand out.
