Troll Lords Sale - 35% off purchases $50 or More - 24 Hours Left

Yes, it's a 48 hour sale but I got the email 23 hours ago and didn't read it until now ;(

Anyhow, save up to 35% on your purchases at the Troll Lords store for the next 24 hours or so.

No, I don't get a penny for sending you there. I just get the satisfaction of knowing I found a decent deal for my readers. You can tell them you found their sale at The Tavern if you want. Won't do anything but make us look cool :)

Oh, and you don't need a code. Just fill up your shopping cart.

For the record, if you aren't on their e-mailing list and you agree to sign up you get a 15% off code that CAN be combined with this sale. I got the 3 C&C cores for just over $60, shipped.

Yep, I was able to do the same as James. 50% off was just too good of a deal to pass up.

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 ;)
