Downloading the Documents
|
The many members of the Basic Fantasy Project are believers in sharing. They have created a
lot of material, and much of it is shared here on our website.
Our materials are broken up into three categories:
The Downloads Page
This page, right here. Our best stuff, complete, polished, and ready for action. The Core Rules, adventures, selected supplements, and handy forms and play aids. All items we have available in print should be on this page.
The Showcase
Click here! Our best authors, sharing their visions of the game. Items in the Showcase are generally complete, but may be less well tested, proofread, etc. Highly-rated Showcase items are chosen from time to time and moved to this Downloads page.
The Workshop
A section of our Forum. Any member of our forum may post his or her work in the Workshop. The Workshop has an "anything goes" atmosphere; materials shared there may be rough and/or incomplete, but if you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, there's a lot of good stuff there. Want to contribute, but don't have a specific idea in mind? Check the Workshop... you are likely to find one or more projects of interest to you that would welcome your contribution. Yes, there is a lot of stuff here; in some cases, we have more than one set of supplementary rules for a given situation. Don't panic. We recommend that beginning (or returning) Game Masters start with the core rules and one or more of the adventure series modules. Add supplementary materials and house rules later, after you and your players have experience with the game and know what you want from it. In the spirit of Open Source development, wherever possible we use truly free programs such as LibreOffice to create our materials. Most items below are distributed in LibreOffice as well as in PDF (Adobe Reader) format. If you just want to print out and use the rules, the PDF is probably what you want, but if you'd like to make changes you'll want the LibreOffice version. Some items have been submitted in other formats; such items are noted below where they appear.

| Character Sheets and Other Forms |

BFRPG Standard Character Sheet Release 2006.0 This is the "regular" character sheet, designed for US standard Letter paper (8.5" x 11"), though the PDF will probably fit on A4 paper just fine (let Acrobat do the "shrink to fit" thing). This character sheet is available in a large number of translations.
| ||
| |||
|
BFRPG 8"x10.5" Notebook Paper Character Sheet Release 2006.0 This sheet is designed to print out on ordinary notebook paper having 0.285" (or similar) rule widths. Probably it won't work for just any printer and just any paper... but you can probably tweak it to fit your paper and printer. In other words, some assembly required.
