Update - Troll Lords is Running a 99 Cent Sale for Print Adventures - Shipping is Fixed - Run, Don't Walk!

Earlier this afternoon I noticed that Troll Lord Games was running a 99 cent sale on about 40 of their Castles & Crusades adventures. I dropped 27 adventures in my virtual shopping cart and shipping came to over 40 bucks. I was stunned, and posted so.

Well, the shipping has now been fixed. 23 items (some dropped out of my cart) came to 6 bucks and change. I then went back and ordered another dozen adventures or so (ones that were mistakenly "out of stock" were also fixed.) Shipping on the 2nd order was 4 bucks and change.

Even if you don't play Castles & Crusades, everything is easy enough to convert to the OSR game of your choice.

There's lots of gaming goodness to be had at a very fair price.

Here's the link. Prices are only in effect until midday tomorrow and stock is limited.

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 ;)
