Fanatical Bundle - DCC RPG Adventures Bundle - For as Little as Free!

I NEVER call these various bundles that I highlight "Ridiculous"! Then again, I've never covered a bundle from Fanatical before, as they primarily deal with computer games. The value offered in the DCC RPG Adventures Bundle is just that - Ridiculous!

For FREE (not even PWYW), you can snag the DCC RPG Quickstart Rules, the DCC Adventure Starter (goes from levels 0-2), the Character Record Folio, and the DCC Reference Booklet. It's a great, free introduction to the DCC RPG. Tell your friends ;)

For $15, the DCC RPG Adventures Bundle includes 30 PDFs. It includes the above, the Dying Earth setting, several Dying Earth adventures, the Goodman Games Dark Tower reprint (and DCC/5e conversion worth the price of admission on its own), Crypt of the Devil Lich, Tome of Adventure Vol 1 (contains the first 7 adventures published for the DCC RPG), Grimtooth Traps books and more. Phew!

Don't pass on this one. Delivery is through DTRPG.

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 ;)
