Be You Bold is a rules lite system for playing pen and paper tabletop rpg games of the fantasy persuasion. It uses only 6 sided dice. There is also a monster companion book. (Physical products available through Lulu.com: here)

Here's what you'll find in Be You Bold - Core Book, along with a quick to learn rule set for creating characters, leveling up, weapons/armor options, and some basics for running your adventures. 

Character Classes: Warriors, Rogues, and Wizards

Wizard Types: Moon (healing), Combat, Necromancer, Bard

Player Species Options: Humans, Wildebeest Person, Lizard Person, Centaur, Minotaur, Elf, Dwarf, Cyclops, Turtle Person, Sentient Skeleton, Tigerian (Tiger Person), Lobo (dog/wolf person), Halfling, Gnome, Goblin


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. 


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.
