BFRPG supplements
I’ve recently been involved in preparing a couple of supplements for Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game.

One of these is all my own work; a selection of pre-generated equipment packs designed to make the already easy character generation even easier. Check it out here: Equipment Packs: A Basic Fantasy Supplement.
The second is a bundle of options for Backgrounds (that is: what your character did before adventuring) and Specialties (what your character does in addition to general class duties). These rules just give a few small changes to what your character can do. Of course, you could (and should) just write all this stuff in your character back-story but this supplement puts a few things in concrete for you.
Note, 99% of the work in this supplement was done by James Roberts, I just took the stuff off the Dragonsfoot workshop forum and formatted it. The publisher (Chris Gonnerman) just decided that was enough to get my name on the credits! Get it here: Backgrounds and Specialties: A Basic Fantasy Supplement.
And while you are there, check out Quick Character Generation: A Basic Fantasy Supplement by Chris Kutalik which does much of what the other two supplements do and more!
Not to sound all mutually congratulatory, but I have found that your Background and Specialties to be not only a great dovetail for the simple, quick kind of character generation system I was trying to put together, but a great stand-alone addition for Basic characters. My players liked it quite well in a recent one-shot game using B/X rules.
