Re: "so I made a mini "basic D&D""
@blah_blah_blah I'm very familiar with older A/B/D&D editions, yes. Cantrips (for example) were never on the table for Lindwyrm to worry about, because it's based on Moldvay B/X via Old-School Essentials (borrowing the optional ascending AC from OSE) and a slurry of other O/BD&D and retroclone inspirations. The extended class additions are inspired by an article for basic Fantasy, for example.
The base classes are tweaked for space, personal preferences, and because there's no domain rules so the fighter gets more toys; the goal of only one sheet of paper required short example lists of critters, magic, etc.
But, being the tinkerer I am, I just may do an expansion someday.

so I made a mini "basic D&D" — Last weekendish I decided hell with it, I'd try to smush a take on "Basic D&D" into one 16-page minizine format (1/8-letter pages). After a lot of scribbling right onto a blank mockup minizine, and tweaking some things here and there, I got one. Spent the middle of the week typing and formatting, and here we are: Lindwyrm. It's pretty loosey-goosey but I'm okie with that, lol.
