Yes, yes it will. I do have experience with BFRPG. It's a very tidy clone of Basic D&D with some nice mechanical bits from d20, but it's still very much BD&D at its core. (I have experience with that too.) Judging what feel and style of campaign you're going for by your question and comments, giving full XP for gold will level them too fast: The ...

D&D Moldvay only covers to level 6. Cook wrote expert. However, Moldvay states: 4 2 1st level, 1 2nd level<br> 5 2 1st level, 2 2nd level<br> 6 3 1st level, 2 2nd level D&D Basic, p. B18 No third level clerical spells are included in Moldvay. Cook Expert shows your hop: L Title Spells 1 Acolyte - - - ...

I finally managed to figure it out. I had to search for clipart instead of public domain art. Larry Elmore released the "Character Clip Art & Color Customizing Studio" which is a fancy name for a colouring book. A good portion of the black and white line drawings were clipart and could be used and modified, as long as they weren't resold as clip art ...

I sat down with both PDFs this morning and compared them system-by-system, drawing on my experience with B/X D&D and Adventurer Conqueror King System to zero-in on the parts of early D&D that frequently vary and make the most difference. These notes apply only to core Swords & Wizardry (not White Box), and core Labyrinth Lord (not including ...

There is DoubleZero: A Percentile-Based Modern Role Playing System by Berin Kinsman, a retroclone of the James Bond 007 RPG. It has mostly vanished from the net, but the SRD can still be found at http://livingfree.wikidot.com/doublezero-srd

I have no experience in Basic Fantasy, but this rule also existed in AD&D 2nd for rogue classes, and we used it in our campaigns. If you use individual class awards, it is a must to use this, as otherwise rogues would be at a disadvantage. Everyone gets bonus xp for what his purpose is: warriors for defeated hit dice, priests and wizards for spells and ...

I have never played Basic Fantasy, but I have used similar variant rules in AD&D and Shadowrun. I will say that for flavor reasons I always required the characters to find a trainer and spend time in addition to the gold/nuyen, but with that in place it worked quite well. As I see it there are a few different problems that can come with ...

There are several. 4C System is a retroclone of TSR's Marvel Super Heroes (FASERIP). Unlicensed, and some subtle differences (including ditching the labels) but it works the same way. There's a retroclone of Classic Traveller, I forget the name, but it's genericized (and not very well done, either). Mongoose Traveller is a pseudoclone of Classic ...

You have to remember that there is only 5 spell levels in the 1974 edition of Dungeons & Dragons. And that the original edition was developed through feedback from Gygax refereeing his Greyhawk campaign. It looks like that from level 1 to 5 the Cleric gained one new spell per level. Then with level 6, 7, & 8; the cleric gained two new spells per ...
