I expected Swords & Wizardry Light to get hacked for other genres and its exciting to see it happening now.
What am I talking about? Linneman over at the Monstrous Matters blog has been releasing free SWL compatible PDFs with new Supers! classes for his yet to be released Light City setting - The Brawler and The Elemental.
Grab them for free.
God, this is fun stuff :)
I cannot wait to see more to come from this! It will be fun writing One-Page Adventures for this.
ReplyDeleteThese pdfs have been wonderful and he's welcome others to play with it. I've got a Super-Pet class coming out for it any day now.
ReplyDeleteCan you do superheroes with abandons magic? Seems counterintuitive.
ReplyDeleteVANCIAN magic. Thanks autocorrect
DeleteI think you're right that the "fire and forget" notion usually won't fit, but limiting a character's ability to tap into a power source doesn't seem too far off to me. The Elemental, for example, can do some special abilities a number of times per day equal to their level, which in my mind is just fine as a character's increasing ability to harness the element they wield.
DeleteThere's almost certainly going to be some square pegs and round holes with this, but hey, it's a bit of an experiment, and I'm hoping to hone things as time goes on...!
Thanks to the Tavern keeper for the shout-out!
ReplyDeleteAs Justin noted, I'm definitely open to others' playing around with this. I'd love for it to be a big sandbox for those of us who just like the idea of combining supers and SWL. Four-color adventures are a BIG sandbox to play in...!
