What I Need to Clear My Mind for Writing - Nature


I'm in the Poconos for an extended weekend with Rach and my parents. I"m still amazed I spent nearly 10 months without spending a night out of the city.

For me to create and create effectively, I need to be in the right mindset. Nature not only recharges my batteries, but it invigorates my mind. I did a lot of brainstorming last night for the Swords & Wizardry 4 page / 1 sheet project. I need to update the Google Community with some of the changes / solutions that are likely to be used.

Now, a question that can come now or later, but must be addressed at some point is what do you call rules that are lighter than S&W White Box?

eXtra Light? Vanilla Unboxed? Pale Whiter? White Lite Rules? Simple & Succinct? God only knows...

    1. Er, maybe Daggers and Magic might be better of the two. But that might be to close to old school computer RPG line.

  5. I like the sound of "SW: Cantrip Edition".

  7. Nature is the best for me, too. I have a little cafe table outside (we don't live in the city), and it's nice to go out there and write.

    Heaven.

  8. S&W:
    Core
    Essence
    OnePage
    Distilled

    Or just call it:
    Daggers & Cantrips

  10. +1 for S&W : WhitePage. It works on all levels.

  11. I think Daggers & Cantrips is a winner!

  12. You need an acronym name, ala SW: SERPENT System (Simple Edition Role Play ENTertainment). Else, I like Dirks & Cantrips over Daggers & Cantrips.

  13. The Poconos (Blakeslee, Jim Thorpe, & Mt. Pocono) and Jersey Shore (mostly North Wildwood) were our vacation spots growing up -- only one a year, but inspiring to our RPGs nonetheless. I am envious in that I won't be vacationing at either, this year, as "staycations" are more my choice, due to economics.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the trip, Erik. I suggest Swords & Wizardry: Thin Air Edition -- if you are, in fact, allowed to use S&W's moniker. I've been away from the Internet most of the last 48 hours, so I am coming at this fresh and without being influenced by other responses.
