The Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG Limited-Edition Wizard Cover Comes With Art Folios!

Maybe, just maybe, the fine folks over at Goodman Games read this blog on occasion (actually, I know Harley does). So maybe someone read one of my many post saying that the art in the DCC RPG main book and modules was good enough for them to be selling prints.

Well, they aren't offering prints but they are giving away art folios.

Yep, for free. But there is a catch.

The Brad McDevitt art folio is a print version, and it's only available with the DCC RPG Limited Edition Wizard Cover Version that ships in December. To get it, you need to preorder from Goodman Games by November 30, 2012.

The second art folio is available to all purchases from the Goodman Games webstore from now until the end of the year. This is a Peter Mullen art folio. It's in PDF format only.

So, if you pick up the new DCC RPG LE, you get both folios. Yep, I just accounted for 60 bucks plus shipping of my recent overtime - of course, I sent it to a funeral home by mistake (thanks paypal!) but I've already sent an email to Goodman Games to sort that out...

Why send flowers when Paypal will let you send the DCC RPG to a Funeral Home...

It's a little more direct than a 'Bon Voyage' banner, but I guess it works.

Haha. There's something that just seems right about the wrongness of that shipping address. Perhaps you were subtly influenced by the recently departed, some guy who died before he could order it.

Why "Swords & Wizardry?"

Believe me when I say I have them all in dead tree format. I have OSRIC in full size, trade paperback and the Player's Guide. I have LL and the AEC (and somewhere OEC, but I can't find it at the moment). Obviously I have Basic Fantasy RPG. Actually, I have the whole available line in print. Way too much Castles & Crusades. We all know my love for the DCC RPG. I even have Dark Dungeons in print, the Delving Deeper boxed set, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea. BOTH editions of LotFP's Weird Fantasy and some dead tree copies of the Greyhawk Grognards Adventures Dark & Deep

I am so deep in the OSR when I come up for breath it's for the OSR's cousin, Tunnels & Trolls

So, out of all that, why Swords & Wizardry? Why, when I have been running a AD&D 1e / OSRIC campaign in Rappan Athuk am I using Swords & Wizardry and it's variant, Crypts & Things, for the second campaign? (Actually, now running a S&W Complete campaign, soon to be with multiple groups)

Because the shit works.

It's easy for lapsed gamers to pick up and feel like they haven't lost a step. I can house rule it and it doesn't break. It plays so close to the AD&D of my youth and college years (S&W Complete especially) that it continually surprises me. Just much less rules hopping than I remember. (my God but I can run it nearly without the book)

I grab and pick and steal from just about all OSR and Original resources. They seem to fit into S&W with little fuss. It may be the same with LL and the rest, but for me the ease of use fit's my expectations with S&W.

Even the single saving throw. That took me longer to adjust to, but even that seems like a natural to me now. Don't ask me why, it just does. Maybe it's the simplicity of it. At 45 52, simplicity and flexibility while remaining true to the feel of the original is an OSR hat trick for me ;)
