Yes, among other things, it's designed to make mundane items attractive as treasure - so that doomed adventuring parties themselves become objects of expeditions. <br /><br />I like the idea that survivors of an unsuccessful raid might go back specifically to retrieve (and sell/use for XP) a fallen comrade's armour.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964744140140515737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623479114799192549.post-12867971665810619692021-03-24T09:27:17.064-07:002021-03-24T09:27:17.064-07:00Hi there.

They're here (and they're free!): <br /><br />https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/86546/Swords-and-Wizardry-Complete-Rulebook?term=Swords+and+Wizardry+complete<br /><br />Swords and Wizardry is essentially a cleaned-up version of 1974 D&D. I like the rules for various reasons. For one thing, they're free - which means that all our players (in their various groups) can get hold of a copy straight away. Also, because - like the 1974 game - characters' stats aren't hugely influential on their quality, the rules suit a high-mortality campaign. You're much better off with a higher-level fighter with poor STR, for example, than with a low-level one with 18 STR. So there's more encouragement to make do with what you have and try to get on rather than optimising characters. <br /><br />Another thing I like is the range of character classes compared with Basic/Rules Cyclopedia D&D, which we use for our main campaign. Swords and Wizardry gives you rangers, assassins, paladins and the like, which means that there's more scope for short-lived characters to be quite distinctive!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964744140140515737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623479114799192549.post-31252104130481366132021-03-24T08:23:18.925-07:002021-03-24T08:23:18.925-07:00Also just wanted to say I'm glad you had the c...Also just wanted to say I'm glad you had the chance to try out your new "lantern bearers" idea. It sounds really good and I've been looking forward to hearing of your first adventure since you wrote about it a few posts ago. Love to see anymore progress you are making on those 1/72 minis.<br />Thank you for sharing.TheLastHuscarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981665187505624855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623479114799192549.post-56470129519670339202021-03-24T08:20:52.836-07:002021-03-24T08:20:52.836-07:00When you say you're using the, "Swords an...When you say you're using the, "Swords and Wizardry rules" what exactly is that and where can I find them please?
