I'm not sure what you mean by a basic ruleset. The 5e ruleset that comes with FG is a complete ruleset.
I think you may mean are there basic rules? If so then yes, you can find the basic rules in Library>Modules>D&D Basic Rules
I think he's referring to the BECMI rules. There is not an officially licensed ruleset for the Mentzer edition.

There's no official Basic D&D ruleset or data. There are some threads in this forum discussing it: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...lassic-D-amp-D And I believe there is an application to scrape the Cyclopedia data, but I can't find it with a limited search.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Maybe I can find something. I'm also interested in 1st Edition AD&D and 2nd AD&D, but I have that ruleset and the PHB, DMG, and MM. I forgot about the Classic D&D section in the forums.
Go with the AD&D ruleset for now. It really is very good.
It's second edition, and I'd rather have 1st if I have to get over BECMI.Quote:

The rule differences between the two are not significant - certainly not relative to the similarities.
There is an extension to run 1st Edition pretty closely with the 2nd Edition ruleset.
What particular rules difference in 2E and 1E do you see makes 1E closer to Basic? I always thought the RulesCyclopedia of basic was closer to 2e than 1e. Other than the "attack matrix" which even is basic was ignored for THACO at times.Quote:
