Figured it'd be nice to have a thread about this game.  Has great support from an active and friendly community- best of all, it's all free:)

For those folks who prefer their game in print, you can get the following off Amazon:

Basic Fantasy RPG- $3.95 160 pages- all in one book.
Morgansfoot: Western Lands Campaign- $2.83 72 page module.
Fortress, Tomb, and Tower: The Glain Campaign $2.49 62 page module.
The Chaotic Caves $2.44 44 page module.
Monkey Isle- $2.79 54 page module.
Adventure Anthology 1 -$3.75 86 page mini module collection (13 small adventures)
 
That comes out to a total of $18.25 for a long time of gaming fun.  Again, it's all free if you don't mind pdf's.

I've contributed to the game, just small pictures here and there.  I'm impressed with what they've accomplished.

I ran a bit of a campaign using Basic Fantasy after finishing a 3.5 campaign. Everyone had a blast. That was the point of no return to complex rules for me. This is why I'm very happy with 5E.

I've been in a BFRPG game for a while now-- and I also helped redo their druid supplement and contributed a few monsters to a new release of the Field Guide. Good system, bloody great community.

I'll check out the modules, thanks for the recommendation.

I'm pretty sure danbuter is a fan and/or wrote a fan supplement.

Wow, that sounds like a great bargain. Should check it out.

It's the system for our next campaign.

Yeah, BF is a good little game - it was my go-to game until ACKS came along. It is still good value though; that stack for less than $20 on Amazon is a bargain. And as you say, it's free if you don't mind PDF's.

Basic Fantasy is great and my preferred version for B/X D&D.

I haven't gotten into BF. What makes it interesting compared to Swords & Wizardry?

S&W is based on OD&D. Basic Fantasy is based on B/XD&D (with race and class split and Ascending AC).

Any other bits of interest?

S&W has Ascending AC too.

Not really. They are both strongly based on their roots. Which one you prefer will be based on which base game is preferred.

We're running classic Greyhawk stuff with BFRPG. Using a lot of the supplements, dropping the save system for an S&W style 1 number system and tacking on some wounds rules.  Fun!

Bastards. Now I'm thinking about pulling some of my favorite 5e bits into Basic Fantasy ...

Sounds like a good deal if one digs fantasy games. Are the modules compatible with D&D Basic/Expert/etc.? If one already owns Basic/Expert/etc. is there a reason to get Basic Fantasy?
