Microlite74, like its parent game, Microlite20, is a trimmed-down, miniature version of the Primary Fantasy SRD rules. The goal of Microlite74, however, is to recreate the style and feel of that very first ("0e") fantasy roleplaying game published back in 1974. If you are at all familiar with any game based on the 3.5 edition of the SRD, you will find Microlite74 easy to play and easy to run as a GM, but with an extra helping of "old school" flavor. While Microlite74 is designed as an introduction to "old school" play for players more familiar with modern SRD-based rules systems, it is a rules-lite system that old school grognards should find equally enjoyable. It is easy to modify with your own house rules or rules drawn from your favorite edition of the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game. This is the revised and expanded Microlite74 Version 2.0. Many changes and improvements have been made since the publication of version 1.1 of Microlite74 in 2008.

This is a special edition of Microlite74 Version 1.1 designed to be printed using Acrobat's booklet printing feature to produce a nice 0e style booklet. The print is larger and their are illos. Microlite74 is designed to recreate the style and feel of that very first (“0e”) fantasy roleplaying game published back in 1974 using the "modern" Microlite20 system.

Microlite74 Version 1.1, like its parent game, Microlite20, is a trimmed down, sub-miniature version of the Primary Fantasy SRD rules that has been designed to be quick and easy to play. The goal of Microlite74, however, is to recreate the style and feel of that very first (“0e”) fantasy roleplaying game published back in 1974. An entire game in 8 pages.
