Role-Playing Game Research - Basic Dungeons & Dragons BECMI Errata

Basic Dungeons & Dragons BECMI Errata - Unofficial Errata and Recommendations for Running BECMI D&D

 · 2 min read


This page is a running list of errata and recommendations for those wishing to use the exceptional BECMI D&D rules and adventures by Frank Mentzer.

We highly recommended this series as currently the best (and really the only) RPG series truly for absolute role-playing game beginners. To date we still have not found anything comparable. 

See Improving Access to Tabletop Role-Playing Games by Overcoming High Barriers [1] [2] to Introductory Play for details as to why this is by the best (and only) true introductory RPG series ever published
