Bugbears & Borderlands

From publisher blurb: What would it look like if Moldvay was asked to create a Basic version of 5e? I suspect something like this. While there is an existing official Basic version, it includes all of the rules (not very basic) and hardly any Player Character option. Bugbears and Borderlands flips the script on that. The rules have been streamlined to the very basic core, while still offering a lot of character customization options at character generation, WHILE also being very easy to learn and play. Hundreds of pages can be daunting for newer or younger players. It's a reason why Moldvay's B/X back in the day brought in so many new gamers, because it was an easy read and easy to play. B&B emulates this philosophy while being largely compatible with core 5e.
