SOME GAME TOOLS FOR ONLINE PLAYERS

I have been using a couple things I haven't seen others mention who seem to be having a good time playing on Google+ and thought I would share them.

Free Disposable Webpage
http://www.dinkypage.com/

I thought this would be helpful. Set up a webpage in seconds that never goes away. Very simple (bookmark your link so you can find your way back)

Free Corkboard
http://corkboard.me/simple

I've been using this for some time with the ability to post pics to it as well for maps, monsters, items, etc it really has proven quite handy. Again, bookmark your link so you can find your way back.

Just a few simple yet powerful tools.

Enjoy!

Microlite20 OSS and Advanced Microlite20 OSS RPGs Now Available (and FREE)

He's done it again. My god man, you are smokin'!

http://blog.retroroleplaying.com/2011/01/microlite20-oss-and-advanced.html

From the man himself:

I'm happy to announce that version 1.0 of the Microlite20 OSS and the Advanced Microlite20 OSS roleplaying games are finished and available for free download. "OSS" stands for "Old School Style". Where Microlite74 and Microlite75 attempt to recreate old school games from the Microlite20 rules, the Microlite20 OSS games were written to encourage the "old school style" play using the much more standard 3.x edition base Microlite20 was written for. Microlite20 OSS is a Microlite20 variant designed for old school style play with a modern game system and nearly any 3.5 fantasy adventure module or setting you can pull off your shelf.

ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES: WARGAMES

For all the talk about the origins of role-playing little time is spent on the actual catalyst-the wargame.

Most people tend to envision large amounts of space time and money building up armies to battle. But wargaming is scalable in either direction.

So for someone who would like a taste I offer the following:

Battle For Moscow
http://grognard.com/bfm/index.html

This is a great little free game to try out.

The intro is brief and informative
http://grognard.com/bfm/intro.html

And if you find the basic game to your liking they have included extra rules you can print for a longer game.

This Is Probably Old News-One Monk Miniatures

But I just found this last night. Most of their minis are now free to download. The left most column has the links. If you've been needing a hoard lately or a band of heroes you can't beat free :)

Three For Free From Brave Halfling Publishing

Everybody deserves a little goodness after the holidays. Treat yourselves to some of the gracious free offerings of Brave Halfling Publishing:

First,fresh off the press

Swords & Wizardry: WhiteBox
Prepare to be introduced to the old style of free form gaming! Swords & Wizardry: WhiteBox is inspired by the original 1974 fantasy role-playing game created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. These rules are flexible and open to interpretation - designed not to cover all conceivable situations, but to allow good Referees and Players the freedom to create and play games of their own design. Third Print Edition - December 2010

Reference Charts & Monster XP Calculations
Here are some really handy reference tools put together by talented and dedicated Labyrinth Lord gamers. I am sure you will find them quite helpful in your gaming as well!

Original Edition Options - The Halfling Adventurer
By the time they reach fourth level, most Halflings will want to be back in the comfort of their home, enjoying their loot and weaving ever-expanding tales of their exploits. However, a very rare few will make adventuring their life-long occupation often exceeding beyond the typical abilities of most, if not all Halfling leaders. This short pdf has been created to allow gamers to play a Halfling character beyond fourth level in original edition rpgs. Included is a rationale for the class, details and description of the class, some suggestions on Halfling Adventurer tactics along with Experience Level, Attack and Saving Throw charts. Come and see how challenging and exciting running a Halfling Adventurer can be! Furry feet await you.

Enjoy!
