I've lost track of the current collection of classic clones (say that 5 times fast) of the different flavors of old D&D. I think I tapped out when the PDFs of Delving Deeper arrived in my inbox.
Anyhow, there is a new clone of the Holmes Basic Blue book - therefore, BLUEHOLME - Prentice Rules.
Sixty some odd pages covering levels 1 through 3.
It's actually a tidy presentation that's easy on the eyes with a nice assortment of public domain art. I'd do a comparison with my Holmes Basic Box, but that's currently in storage. In any case, I'm sure someone else will do so, as the BLUEHOLME basic rules are free.
There is mention of a full set of rules covering level 1 through 14, but that doesn't seem to be released yet.
Uhm, what else can I say about it?
Add another clone to your virtual drive or tablet. It's free ;)
From the blurb:
BLUEHOLME™ Prentice Rules is a table top fantasy roleplaying game that emulates the game play of the original basic rule book, popularly known as the Holmes Edition or simply the Blue Book. The rules in this book allow for characters of 1st to 3rd levels, and include everything the referee could possibly need to create and run a campaign in the Underworld: monsters, magic, treasure, and … well, what more do you need?
Thanks as always for pointing this stuff out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the mention. BLUEHOLME is intended as a faithful clone of the first Basic edition, which is why it sticks to levels 1 through 3. The Compleat Rules will be a stand-alone book for levels 1 through 14, due out later this year.
