Basic Back to the Dungeon RPG Player's Guide

This is a very nice basic easy to pick up and play version of the old game. In a previous version of Eldrad's game, I complained to him that it was not well enough edited. It seems that Eldrad took my advice, got a team together to make something polished and it shows.

This is by no means flashy and there is no pen and ink other than a rough hand drawn picture for the cover. But that is exactly the point.

It is intended to be a lose set of rules that allows game masters to make rulings in the old gaming style and you are not also hit over the head with an encyclopedia of descriptions of a world setting.

I would likely add information about the height and age of the various races. It's unclear if it is a section missed when you edited it or whether players are supposed to make it up. I'd even venture to leave it out if you don't define things there in the rules - enough to give a brief description of elves and how they live much longer than the other races.

So for 40 pages it does what it sets out to do.

Why thank you for the kind review! I am glad that you "get" exactly what I was trying to do with this neoclone! I hope that you also downloaded the GM's Guide as well and the BS1 Module. Easy to play and easy to run! I just think that the Game Master's job should be Made as easy as it can be and there is no need for a fully stated out charter sheet for a monster. I believe that the characters should have a tiny bit of crunch but they should only have to look on their sheet and not have to look them up in a book every few minutes. My ideal in gaming is to play the worlds, not the rules. To have everyone have that feeling I had back in 1981 when I played my first Basic D&D game.
