Re: Eldiron

Are the underlying rules based upon BFRPG? even loosely? I did a quick review of your development website, and I see no mention of the underlying rules and specifically no mention of BFRPG at all.

Re: Thoughts on a Basic Fantasy Special Edition?

If such a thing was to come to fruition, I would certainly be in for a special edition. Larger than life printing (making it extra large like a real tome), embossed leather bound, gold edging and leafing, serious stitching on high quality paper, metal clasps and corner protectors... the whole sheban...

Re: skeleton dragon

I would do just HD and damage changes, otherwise like other skeletons. Not a lich-dragon, just animated bones, eh?

Re: Permanently Spending Gold for XP

I don't give XP for gold acquired, but I certainly do allow characters to spend on training at 1gp:1xp ratio (and time spent).
