A downloadable game

This is the playtest for the second edition of Rovers & Riches.

So, what is different about these new rules? Well, I think they fix just about everything. Specifically, these rules:

  • Provide a more elegant solution to knowing languages and demihuman cultures.
  • Improve wilderness travel rules.
  • Fix the thief class and provide rules for simple skills.
  • Expand spell options and clarity.
  • Include mechanics for conditions to make poison, exhaustion, hunger, and curses easy and fun to play with.
  • Streamline clerical gods. 
  • Provide fast templates and clear rules for retainers.
  • Simplify spell crafting.
  • And much more.

Basically, these rules should let you do everything B/X can do but for free, in 20 pages, and with minimal load for the GM. Try them out and let me know what you think!
