BFRPG Recommended Play Order for Our Programs

For those training as a volunteer game master at RPG Research, and interested in running the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game (BFRPG) system there are many options, the following is what we are evaluating for our trainees and community programs.


We recommend using XP PC level advancement NOT milestone advancement.


Our GMs are trained to provide more generous XP for creative non-violent solutions, while still allowing for those that want to take the combat approach (which is the riskier and slower advancement approach with less variety of rewards). If only focusing on combat, a level 1 Thief would have to go through 3 to 5 adventures to make level 2. Versus if they focus on earning XP in more creative ways, they may be able to level up faster.


Remember cannot level up more than one level per game in BFRPG.


The following is a suggested order of adventures and PC group level advancement:

  1. PL1: __ RPGR BFRPG Solo Adventure 1 - level 0 to 1 - __ pages (~ __ XP) - 1 short session - PC Level 0. >>TODO<<

Does BFRPG have its own world(s) to place all these locations or should we stick these in Hawke's Worlds of Beru setting?
