Thanks to a number of volunteer proofreaders, Microlite74 Release Candidate 2 is available. I've tried to incorporate all the error corrections I've been given -- and I found a few more on my own. I'd like this to be the final "draft version." You don't have to proofread to download Release Candidate 2, but any proofreading help would be much appreciated.
Your input and typos found are welcome on this version too. Please use our new message board to discuss these rules (and my many typos -- but their should be less than in previous versions). Comments here are welcome as well. Note that the Player's and GM Notes after the rules in Microlite74 Basic, Standard, and Extended is almost identical, so please check for typos in these sections only in the Microlite74 Basic version (to avoid unnecessary proofreading).

Thanks in advance for any additional proofreading help!
Two possible things:
ReplyDeleteThe description for the Maze spell uses 'intelligence'; should this be MIND instead?
Red dragons are given the ability to "assume human form"; I don't ever remember that being the case.
@Pere Ubu: Thanks you. Both have been fixed.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Companion, page 9:
ReplyDelete'An unarmored average DEX 10th level wizard would be AC 10 and could spells normally.'
I think that should be 'could cast spells normally'.
Also, is the digest sized edition going to be updated to 3.0?
@Lord Rocket: Thanks for catching that typo!
ReplyDeleteI'm uncertain on digest editions. Microlite74 Basic is probably doable. The page counts for Standard and Extended would probably be a bit high for digest-sized books. However, I'd love a digest version of M74 Extended to use in my weekly game so I might at least give it a try.
