Even though I just grabbed a copy of basic from 81, I think most of my gaming for the foreseeable future will be Basic Fantasy, as we started a campaign using it and my newb players seem to easily grasp ascending AC, etc. There is also a new 3rd edition version of the basic fantasy core rules, also FREE! (what in the hell are you waiting for?). Just a note when I first found out about the OSR, basic fantasy was one of the first sets of rules that I grabbed (being a cheap bugger!), as well as Blueholme. Which by the way the new version of Blueholme has also been released with a updated cover!
I think I'll grab a copy of the 3rd edition version of Basic Fantasy, just the pdf for the time being as a reference. I printed off the 2nd edition twice already! plus most of the modules that are available.
Product Description:
