All about Be You Bold!!

Core Book: Be You Bold is a rules lite, super deadly fantasy tabletop role-playing system that uses only a 6-sided dice. One is all you need, but having 2 is convenient. The core book has the Warrior, Rogue, and 4 types of Wizard along with many player species to choose from. 

Monster Book: This is a short monster manual of sorts, with some background and stats for monsters to populate your world. Although, monsters from lots of places could easily be adapted for game play in BYB. 

Monster Book 2: This book has 40 more monsters for your game, some classic and some weird and different ones. Also there's a short simple guide for if you want to convert stat blocks from common roll high D20 based games, such as many popular OSR systems. 

Monster Book 3: This book has 40 more monsters for your game of BYB. This time the focus is on lower powered monsters, throw them at characters in bunches or have more combat at lower levels. (I found many of the monsters in 1 and 2 are just murderous!). Also there's some guidance on designing and running monsters, and a Creature Index listing all the entries for the 3 current monster books.

Adventuring Guide: Some lists of basic equipment, resources, and other useful bits for running adventures can be found here. Also, there's a list of some magic items.
