Second Edition Core Rules Italian Translation, Release 6 -- July 25, 2020: Pieralberto Cavallo came through with translations for two map examples from the book, and Chris Gonnerman hammered on the layout a bit more, resulting in this new print release candidate for the Italian translation. It's only been in the works for more than a decade, folks... Download

Second Edition Core Rules Italian Translation, Release 5 -- July 24, 2020: A bit more work on this document to hammer out the layout issues has resulted in this document, which is definitly a print release candidate. That's right, we may finally have a non-English translation of the game in print, maybe soon! Download

This is not a print release candidate, as I feel like the maps need to be revisited; at least, the maps for the Nameless Dungeon need to be redrawn at higher quality (MapMatic at the very least). Download

Second Edition Core Rules Italian Translation, Release 4 -- July 20, 2020: Pieralberto Cavallo has supplied this updated Italian translation, and actually a year ago he supplied an earlier ita3 release that I managed not to upload.

CS2 The Dark Temple, Release 7 -- July 18, 2020: Al Vetter made a large number of corrections to this book, and then James Lemon made a pass through and did even more. The book is looking pretty good, but it needs art and playtesting. Anyone interested? Download

Basic Fantasy Equipment Emporium, Release 24 -- September 18, 2019: NewbieSalmon pointed out on the forum that one of the tables was "lighter" than the others; in fact, it had thinner lines than it should have.

Equipment Emporium, Release 12 -- March 01, 2018: This is the first release of this supplement in a printable form; from now on, it won't say "A Basic Fantasy Supplement" but rather will be presented as a full book of rules. But this is a ways away from being a print release; much more to do before that day arrives. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 31 -- February 15, 2018: This updated release of the original Field Guide contains edits by Chris Gonnerman. The text of some monsters was changed for clarity (but not for content), and some layout features have been changed for consistency with the new Field Guild 2. We are a long way yet from a new print release, so don't get too excited. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide 2, Release 31 -- February 15, 2018: Here is the first "official" Downloads-page release of the second volume of the Basic Fantasy Field Guide series. While the book is still in development, it is now considered "complete" and thus ready to appear on the main site. Download

BF1 Morgansfort: The Western Lands Campaign, Release 28 -- February 05, 2018: Chris Hall found one more error, leading to this corrected version. This is a print release candidate, which I will try to get out by Valentine's Day. Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 42 -- February 04, 2018: A few more errors found by Chris Hall have been corrected, and now maybe we have a final version. This is a print release candidate, of course. Download

BF1 Morgansfort: The Western Lands Campaign, Release 27 -- January 22, 2018: A few minor errors led to a revision of this module, and the revisions broke the flow, and then Bruce Ripple provided some excellent artwork to add to the mix. Also, the Olde Island Fortress maps have been redone in a new, rotated format, and placed after the key rather than in it, in keeping with our normal layout. This is a new print release candidate, though I am not bumping the edition due to the very minor nature of the changes. Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 41 -- January 22, 2018: Still more errors found by Chris Hall have been corrected, leading to this hopefully final print release candidate. Check the forum for details, if you're curious. Download

We're a ways away from print ready, but this one is really coming together nicely! Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 39 -- November 15, 2017: Finally, a new release of this book. Included herein are extensive updates to all four adventures by new proofer Chris Hall. His attention to detail is greatly appreciated. This is a print release candidate! Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 38 -- October 23, 2017: So a week after releasing this multimodule in print, Jose Kercado let me know the maps for Thaumerion's Tower were missing. GAH. No idea how we all missed this rather significant issue. So this release adds the missing maps. I also worked over the flow, incorporating some extra artwork to correct issues with the layout that were not obvious until I saw the book in print. This is a print release candidate; if we don't find anything wrong with it, we'll get it up in print on the weekend. Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 37 -- October 02, 2017: Many thanks to Bruce Ripple for submitting a number of nice art pieces for this book. You can see his work particularly in Castle D'Angelo and Tower of Light. Layout has been hammered on and should be good; this is a print release candidate. I'm shortening the review time on this one; if it stands unchallenged until Saturday, October 7th, I'm going forward with printing it. Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 36 -- September 25, 2017: James Lemon took on the monumental job of editing this release, and now it's ready for you all to look at! This is the first print release for this module, so go over it carefully everyone... both textual errors and flow issues should be called out to me right away. If this version stands without any reported problems for one week, it will become a print release! Download

3rd Edition Core Rules French Translation, Version 74 -- September 19, 2017: Here is a complete, but not yet ready for printing, translation of the Core Rules into French. Download

BF3 Strongholds of Sorcery, Release 35 -- September 15, 2017: Final versions of the sigils and names for the wizards in Castle D'Angelo have been added, and the layout has been hammered on a bit more. This is not exactly a print release candidate... I'd accept artwork to fill in some of the blank spaces, for example. But the text is in what is probably its final form, so a print release candidate is right around the corner. Download

AA2 Adventure Anthology Two, Release 21 -- September 14, 2017: This release includes improved maps for Wulfric's Tomb, done by Borgar Olson, as well as editing by James Lemon. Download

BF1 Morgansfort: The Western Lands Hex Map, Release 1 -- August 10, 2017: After a long wait which was entirely my fault, Nekron99's excellent hex map of the Western Lands campaign area is now available on the website! Download

Sentient Weapons: A Basic Fantasy Supplement, Release 3 -- April 24, 2017: I've revised this one again. After a long period of contemplation, I've realized my deconstructivist take on the "intelligent swords" of old was not such a good idea. This new revision restores much of the flavor of the classic version. Download

New Spells Supplement, Release 6 -- April 23, 2017: This is the stripped version mentioned previously. It's now down to the size and content coverage that I intended in the first place.

Plus, I've tucked a couple of new pieces of public domain art into the book, and made a very small addition to the description of the ghast. This is the new print release candidate; if nothing goes wrong, this will go to print in a week. Download

JN3 Saga of the Giants by J.D. Neal, Release 11 -- January 25, 2016: One minor error corrected. I know I said the last release was a print release candidate, but the layout of this book is causing me pain. So this will not be a print release candidate. I'm going to do some work on it to get it to final form. Download

Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition PDF with Bookmarks -- December 17, 2014: Ian Generic sent me a bookmarked version of the Release 97 Core Rules PDF, which I have added to the site. An issue in printing at Lulu means that the print-ready PDF is slightly different (graphics on page 109 are arranged differently) in the current PDF than in the bookmarked version, but they are otherwise identical; for this reason I've left the print release version up alongside the bookmarked version. Download

James D. Jarvis' Character Sheet, Version 3 -- December 16, 2014: James' excellent character sheet, which includes handy page number references, has been updated for the 3rd Edition.

JN1 The Chaotic Caves by J.D. Neal, Release 15 -- December 15, 2014: J.D. found some more errors, and after correction the flow is no longer print-ready. I'll hammer on this one some more and try to get a print release out in the next month or so. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 21 -- December 13, 2014: R. Kevin Smoot alerted me to a number of minor issues with the print release, necessitating this release.

Combat Options Supplement, Release 2 -- December 08, 2014: Luigi Castellani updated this supplement on the forum back in 2009, and I have only just now noticed that the updated version was never released on the Downloads page.

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 97) -- December 02, 2014: Forum user xoriel77 discovered a small, long-standing error in the text of the spell Charm Person. I was going to wait until more errors were discovered before making a new release... but then Lulu told me they couldn't print the book because it had transparent images. Why they couldn't have detected this earlier, I don't know. So I've gone ahead and applied xoriel77's correction and published this new version, which will be replacing the current print editions on all platforms. Download

Saga of the Giants by J.D. Neal -- December 02, 2014: This is the first release of J.D. Neal's combined Saga of the Giants multimodule. This work is comprised of all six of the previously released SG-series modules. It's a big, bad series for big, bad adventurers. Download

AA1 Adventure Anthology One, Release 14 -- November 29, 2014: James Lemon and J.D. Neal found a bunch of things that needed to be corrected in this multimodule; I've taken their final version and fixed up the flow, and if nothing else is found this will become the new print release in a week or so. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 20 -- November 24, 2014: A pile of fixes from J.D. Neal and a few more minor flow corrections are all that have changed in this release. Print release? Who knows, but I hope so. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 96) -- November 24, 2014: Another pile of errata from J.D. Neal has been applied to this release. I've lost count of print release candidates, but this is the latest! Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 95) -- November 24, 2014: This release fixes one last error, and makes one last minor adjustment to the document flow. Thanks to J.D. Neal, the Vampire finally has its double dagger (for hit only by magic weapons). Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 19 -- November 24, 2014: I really didn't like the flow of the previous release. I'd rather have excess whitespace than a choppy layout. So here's a new, hopefully final release. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 18 -- November 22, 2014: And then came J.D. Neal, with a bag full of things that really needed to be fixed. While I was in there, I only rewrote two or three more monsters. Surely someday this will be done... Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 17 -- November 22, 2014: So I made an R16 to fix a couple of minor things, pushed it to CreateSpace, and discovered that many of the images were too low resolution. This release fixes that, and will very likely be the final print release. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 94) -- November 21, 2014: This is an even more last-minute update. James Lemon and forum user Omote pointed out some minor issues, which I would have ignored had it not been for graphics issues found by the automated checker on CreateSpace.com. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 92) -- November 15, 2014: So forum member Omote pointed out an erroneous page number reference, which means I have to put out a new version. I took the opportunity to add a few items to a freshly-reorganized Equipment list, and to reformat one page of monsters that was really bugging me. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 91) -- November 14, 2014: It was pointed out to me on Google+ that the affect of Wisdom on saving throws, mentioned briefly where Wisdom is explained, was not detailed anywhere in the rules. So this release remedies that, as well as correcting a minor issue with the statblock of one of the dinosaurs (pointed out on the forum). Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 14 -- November 14, 2014: A few changes suggested on the forum, and a few more very minor layout changes. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 13 -- November 13, 2014: So now, third print release candidate. Very, very minor layout corrections is all I did this time. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 12 -- November 12, 2014: Second print release candidate here. This one combines the worghest and barghest into a single monster, called a barghest. Several other minor changes were made, and the flow hammered into what I hope is final format. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 11 -- November 11, 2014: This is the first print release candidate for the Field Guide. I've made a pass through, applying last-minute changes and fixing up the layout and images. Please look it over and let me know in the comments thread if you find any problems. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 90) -- November 11, 2014: Martin Serena pointed out that I missed a change I'd promised to the Energy Drain rules. So this release adds that bit. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 87) -- November 08, 2014: So here's the second print release candidate. Luigi "artikid" Castellani pointed out that I never added a note about Magic-User/Thieves to the Elf text. That's fixed here, and some very minor format adjustments have been made. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 86) -- November 07, 2014: This is the first print release candidate for the 3rd Edition! The changes are extremely minor, mainly consisting of an updated Table of Contents and Alphabetical Index. If this release goes unchallenged (i.e. uncorrected) for at least a week, it becomes the final print release! Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 85) -- November 07, 2014: This new release adds a couple of small art pieces and a new half-page piece called "Hobgoblin Ransom" by Alexander Cook. With this release, the layout of 3rd Edition is basically set in stone; the next release will correct the table of contents, and will be the first "final release candidate." Download

I added a tie-in to the following modules - a note in the private rooms of the king and queen (room #19) (the name is signed backwards on purpose) and notes about the apes being abuducted and an alliance formed to track down the cause of the giant problems in "THE END OF THE SAGA (OR IS IT?)".

Besides fixes, I added a second route to the secret dungeon, a hole in the floor in the kitchen room #25 going to room #3 in the secret level. Included are revised maps in GIMP. I also added a note about bounties for captured giants and about defeated giants fleeing to other adventures.

The Magic-User/Thief, originally seen in the Gnome supplement, is now a combo class option for Elves. This release is very close to print-ready; once some flow issues in the GM section are resolved, we'll do a final proofing pass and correct the page numbers in the TOC and index and all will be in readiness. Download

The Basic Fantasy Field Guide, Release 10 -- September 16, 2014: James Lemon has made more textual alterations to the Field Guide. He's also added an image for the Desert Worm (thanks teaman!) and added Jered's entries to the Hit Die listing in the back. Download

Core Rules 3rd Edition (Release 83) -- September 10, 2014: A bit more work on the core rules. Layout for the first part, up to the monsters, is probably finished. New Al Cook artwork graces the monster section, and I've hammered on the layout there as well. Still many things to do. Download
