Basic Fantasy RPG Forums

This is a modification and Dutch translation of Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game parts 1 through 5. Please be aware that this is only the spin-off from a pet project of mine, not an effort to create an official translation.

The rules were modified to reflect late 15th century Europe; the end of the late middle ages.


Modifications with material impact:

• Hobbits/Halflings are omitted, as they are not part of European folklore

• Units of measurement, equipment prices and the money system were modified to reflect 15th century society and economics

• The Reincarnate spell was modified to reflect folklore at the time

Modifications with only cosmetic effect:

• Saving throw tables are listed with each Class description

• Spells have been given three names: Latin for the gaming experience (Latin was used by clergy and scholars at the time), Dutch as a summary for the player, and English for the GM (who still has to rely on the English book for parts 6 and onwards).

• Spells are designated as "White magic" and "Black magic" allowing the GM to reflect social acceptance of the spell.

The modifications were inspired by the 1992 CRPG Darklands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darklands_(video_game)
