Ba5ic is a fantasy role-playing game that encourages players to explore worlds of magic, monsters, and whatever else they can imagine. The game is designed to be rules-light, making improvisational, pick-up, and long-term play a breeze for beginner and veteran players alike. 

Although a very slim 52 pages, don’t let the simplicity fool you. The flexibility of these rules allows for all kinds of imaginative monsters and characters. Ever want to play a Sorcerer that couldn’t cast magic? Now you can. 

Ba5ic is compatible with the modern 5e rules from 2014.

Glad pod is back. This is my favorite meld of the old-school (Basic) flavour that I grew up with and the new-school (5e) rule sensibilities my son has grown up playing. And I have to echo EVERYTHING Jeremy H has previously said---all the way down to half-orcs.

Hey there, this looks GREAT! Pleasantly surprised by the interior art btw!!
One thing, in terms of the Expert class (or any Backgrounds)...
I don't think I saw ANY Sneak Attack!?!
Is that possible?
Even in the most basic of B/X clones they still have Sneak Attack!
Granted B/X Sneak Attack is not as powerful as the 5e version
but considering THIS is an attempt to "old school 5e" I'm surprised you've completely nixed something they BOTH have!

I really dig a lot of what is going on in this one. I downloaded it for FREE and then came back to pay the recommended $2. Please keep developing it! More levels? Half-Orcs? I also like the compact form factor but your monster listings are a different page size, maybe if you rotated the tables it might fit the smaller page?

Cool! Another person who likes Half-Orcs! I am working on supporting material for ba5ic and Half-Orcs will now have to make an appearance...Thanks!

The Monster section has the same page size as the rest of the book, but Landscape. I rotated those pages for ease of use with the .pdf.

Might I ask a small favor? Could you upload a version without those pages rotated? I tried to get a printshop edition today and they couldn't figure out how to keep pagination flowing AND rotate them. (But then they screwed up the pagination on another book immediately afterwards... so perhaps they just don't know how to "Print as Booklet" from Acrobat.

Also, (big favor warning^^) if you could format it to A5 facing pages, that would be keen. LoL. I had them print test pages on A4 paper, A5 facing pages. And, the font was readable, but the margins were pretty big.

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.
