RetroRoleplaying Posted on December 14, 2015 by RandallApril 11, 2022

RetroRoleplaying Posted on December 7, 2015 by RandallApril 11, 2022

RetroRoleplaying Posted on December 5, 2015 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Plans For (Free) Microlite75 2.0 Games

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 30, 2015 by RandallApril 11, 2022

You are probably asking what is Microlite75 2.0? The first version of Microlite75 was published during the same period as Microlite74 2.0 and was Microlite74 plus my house rules from the 0e era (late 1970s). The “75” in the name … Continue reading →

Why I Have Little Interest in Trying the Average New RPG

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 6, 2015 by RandallApril 11, 2022

I’m often looked upon as some strange type of gamer as I have no interest in even trying most of the new RPGs that are published every year. This is apparently especially annoying to some RPG players as I’m willing … Continue reading →

Should I Move the Microlite74/78/81 Forum to a Google+ Community?

RetroRoleplaying Posted on October 23, 2015 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Microlite74 has a forum. You may not know this because it has not been very active the past couple of years. I’ve received several suggestions that I should just move it to a Google+ community — from people who would … Continue reading →
