Re: Beginner's Essentials
10 different languages for the Basic Fantasy Beginner's Essentials is quite impressive.
Re: Beginner's Essentials
OK, Starting SRD Check on
Beginners Essentials
R13
Since the entire thing is 12 pages, I will start at the Intro and work through to the end.
Introduction Not SRD
Contents Not SRD
Creating a Character In ability table Exact match to STR in SRD, may be ok as it's mechanics
Character Races Under Humans, are you changing the XP Bonus?
Bonus Languages Not SRD
Character Classes Not SRD
Gear Not SRD
Wilderness Movement Rates Not SRD
Day to Day Survival Not SRD
Combat Not SRD
Clerics Not SRD
Magic-Users Not SRD
Spell table and spell description for Magic Missile needs to be changed to Arcane Arrow. All of the other spell descriptions have minor differences to the 4e core book, maybe they should just be sweepingly replaced with the current text from there?

Re: Beginner's Essentials
NOT changing XP bonus.
Player-facing rules are not to be changed, in general.

Re: Beginner's Essentials
That seems to make sense - swap in the 4e Core Rules text where possible.

Re: Beginner's Essentials
Boggo, do you have access to the Projects folder on Dropbox?
If not, send me an email and I'll hook you up, and you can do the updates to Beginner's Essentials.

Re: Beginner's Essentials
OK Version R14 is now in Projects, I added 2023 Copyright to the list (2019 was last) but still Copyright attributed to Tom, I Changed it to Second Edition, not sure if you just want to increment editions or make everything CC Licensed 4e? I also reduced the Illustration on the Cover page slightly to fit the CC License text there because I thought it looked a little forlorn on it's own page
I didn't check the equipment tables vs the Core rules because to my knowledge there is no change there for 4e
