Has anyone else noticed the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing website?

Some interesting stuff here.

Where do you see it is by "Tim Moldvay"? The only credits I see are for Chris Gonnerman.

Dang if you aren't right. Moldvay's name was beside it somehow in the link that got me there.

So, ignore the Moldvay part. (I edited it out.)
Pretty interesting content.

Basic Fantasy, like OSRIC, was one of the earliest "retro-clones" and it hasn't had as much press as some of the other games.

From what I hear it's quite good, but since I don't play Basic, I haven't checked it out at all.

They all seem much of the sameness. The site is good for those who like to download homebrew modules though.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

If you are looking for .pdf's or print-on-demand "Old School" products, this is one of the best links I have found:

OSRIC, Basic Fantasy, Swords & Wizardry, and several others. Lots of free downloads to check out as well.

No, that's the first time I've seen it. I just read some of the core rules. I'm a basic fan anyway, so looks great to me. Great job BF guys!
