Dark Fantasy Basic - DEAL OF THE DAY!

Just found out my OSR book is "deal of the day" on DTRPG (we don't get to choose the day, it waits in a line until there is an opening, I think).

Since it was already on sale, the discounts apply on top of each other... In short, it currently costs only US$1.60.

The sale lasts or about 24 hours... be quick! :)

Dark Fantasy Basic is an old school roleplaying game (or adventure game) that pays homage to a beloved 80's game - which is stilll, for many fans, one of the most concise, clear and well-written RPGs ever published.

This book uses the same system as the world’s most popular RPGs – six abilities, classes, levels, etc. – and it is meant to be compatible with games from that era. Or any OSR game, really. It also has some modern influences, including all of the OSR and the most recent version of this game.

This is a complete game (from the player's side), with five classes (fighter, cleric, thief, magic-user and hopeless), skills, feats, weapons, etc. There are no races - all PCs are human or similar - but there are notes on how to create races for your games. There are 20 different spells but each one is flexible, meaning you can choose the spell level and some of the effects as you cast them.


The book ends with conversion notes for other OSR games. No matter what your favorite system is, we hope you find something useful for your games here!
