This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Let's talk about Basic Fantasy

I want a digest sized hard cover copy to match all the similarly sized digest OSR goodness lately.

Of course, since it's open sourced, I suppose I could just do that.

Wouldn't be hard at all. Grab the ODT doc off the website, just set the page size to 6"x9", and then reformat where needed. The only tricky bits would be some of the larger tables, but that's possible. Might just need to tilt them to be vertically-oriented, rather than horizontally-oriented.

Quote from: Solomoriah;803676Thanks, guys!  Glad to see you're enjoying the game.  Just a note about RPGNow... I have the Field Guide almost ready to activate there, and I plan to bring out the other Basic Fantasy adventure material on that site early next year.  RPGNow product activation is maddeningly slow...

Yeah and god help you if you make a mistake and have to do the proof copy cycle over again.

There is some discussion of creating a digest sized version on the Basic Fantasy forums right now.

Strictly speaking, you can't legally produce a book that calls itself "Basic Fantasy RPG" or some derivative thereof, containing our rules; the only thing I reserve as Product Identity in the rules is the name, my eye, and the Scribbled Dragon.  Well, you can't do it legally without my permission, anyway, and the only way I'd agree to it is if it were done as part of the Basic Fantasy Project.

Which leads me back around to our forum, actually.

:D

No, I'd need to call it something else, remove those particular portions of trade dress / IP, and then I'd likely be in the clear.  But, I was really thinking of just having a personal one for my use in any event - not looking to go commercial on BFRPG. ;) And back to that forum then ...

That's what I was thinking of, too. Just doing a quick reformat for personal use. I'm becoming a big fan of digest-sized RPGs these days.
