Microlite74 3d6 Edition

A rules-light fantasy roleplaying game inspired by 1970s-era tabletop RPGs. Players create characters by rolling attributes and choosing a race, class, background, and alignment; backgrounds support a wide range of character concepts despite the three core classes of Fighter, Magic-User, and Cleric. All checks use standard six-sided dice, with three dice replacing a typical d20 roll and allowing partial successes as well as success or failure. Combat tracks luck, skill, and fatigue separately from physical wounds, while spells require successful action rolls. The rules include hirelings, monster reactions, morale, spells, and monsters, and are compatible with many early fantasy adventures.
