Awesome statement of the rules. Nice consolidation. Two suggestions and errata.

Change the name from B|X TO BX. Handles the search better. I imagine you are losing business to this. If I do search for B|X it changes it to B-X and comes up with nothing. Lots of people could use this.

Can we get a word or rtf version of it?

Dexterity adjustment for missile fire needs errata. Progression is +1,+2,+3 and not +1,+1,+2

When I attempt to print, I only get the images, the text doesn't print out. Is there some odd security on the PDF?
Thanks

J. Alexander L, great book. I like it a lot. However I noticed some Errata. On a number of pages (13, 25 etc), there are placeholders marked as "@@" where page numbers should be. Is there an update for this?

Oh, yes. Errata absolutely needed. Sorry it took a year and a half to get to it! You should have received the latest PDF. Let me know if you see any other needed updates.

A few typos so far. On page 5 many of the modifier tables are incorrectly labeled "Adjustment to XP Earned" and the Wisdom table bears the column heading "Strength".

Is the Lulu print version the latest update with all errata/fixes from this thread? Or does p. 5 still incorrectly state "Adjustment to XP Earned", Wisdom table still have the column heading "Strength", are pages 13, 25, etc. still showing "@@" placeholders where page numbers should be? Great game, I'm wanting a copy badly, but want to wait on ordering until confirmation that all corrections are made to the print copy there. The pdf on there hasn't been updated, it is the old August 2016 version with all the issues. Let us know, we're eager to purchase!!! :)

Will this be available as PoD as well?
Will you add a Full-size Preview so that we can see at least one page as an example for the layout, font, and illustration style?

Yes, that's the next step.

And try the preview now. It should work!

The full-size preview is still not working. I can't buy without a look-see. This game has such a small presence on the internet; I can't find any reference to it other than the publisher's almost empty website and blog. I loved the original game but there were a few things amiss (such as two-handed weapons and initiative); does that particular "feature" remain? Why should I buy this book rather than the REAL B/X? Incidentally the original books are cheaper than this one so a single scant paragraph is completely inadequate to sell your game. More work please.

Buy the originals! Skip my book! This is neither an update or a revision to the originals. It's simply a handy-dandy, all in one place book. I carry the B and the X now together. Very convenient for me.

is this an OGL clone like Labyrinth Lord? Preview doesn't work.

Hi, Charlie. Sorry for the delay. B|XFRP hues closest to the B/X rulebooks. In all the clones I've found, they all add something to the B/X material. For example, LL modifies the advancement structure to include 20 levels. B|XFRP caps at 14th level and notes that the progression of abilities at 15th level and beyond at at the discretion of the Dragon Master. There are also minor tweaks made in the design of LL, which aren't so drastic (Prime Requisite penalties, Undead turn table, encumbrance, number of dragon spells, etc.) It also grants Clerics spells at 1st level rather than 2nd level, which was a major design point in B/X play. So, in writing B|XFRP, I wanted to make it as similar to the game I grew up playing as I could. Hope that helps!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
