Re: Eldiron
Are the underlying rules based upon BFRPG? even loosely? I did a quick review of your development website, and I see no mention of the underlying rules and specifically no mention of BFRPG at all. Otherwise, at best only tangentially related to 'old school gaming'... and just an off-topic recruitmen...

Re: Thoughts on a Basic Fantasy Special Edition?
If such a thing was to come to fruition, I would certainly be in for a special edition. Larger than life printing (making it extra large like a real tome), embossed leather bound, gold edging and leafing, serious stitching on high quality paper, metal clasps and corner protectors... the whole sheban...

Re: skeleton dragon
I would do just HD and damage changes, otherwise like other skeletons. Not a lich-dragon, just animated bones, eh?

Re: Permanently Spending Gold for XP
I don't give XP for gold acquired, but I certainly do allow characters to spend on training at 1gp:1xp ratio (and time spent). Fighters train in various places, Thieves likewise train (including in secluded guild locations), Clerics make offertories with prayer/meditation/etc in temples, holy sites ...

Re: Numbering rooms
Although I understand the attempt to number in such a way as "the likely route characters take"... in my experience, players always do things differently. I expect that players think, "expects us to go this way, so we go that way!" Basically, it never follows plan, so trying to w...

Re: Basic Fantasy RPG Core Rules 4th Edition
The Style Guide has developed over time, much of it long after various bits of the core rules and other materials have been developed. It should not be surprising that portions of the core rules (oldest bits of BFRPG) have not been completely ironed out with the "formatting rules and stylistic ...
