Very nifty.<BR/><BR/>Restless, I hope the storm passes you by with little damage. Unfortunately some place along the Gulf coast is going to be hit bad if Gustav doesn't weaken.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-79846120858869089802008-08-30T22:49:00.000-04:002008-08-30T22:49:00.000-04:00Yes, I remember that.

It was a pity because I am agonizing over the choice between BFRPG and LL right now, and thought maybe I could roll my own changes to S&W and be happy enough.<BR/><BR/>Actually, if you go to the new website under products, Mythmere has the .doc for download now. I haven't had a chance to look it due to storm issues, but hope to get a chance to check it out tomorrow night once I know we're in the clear.Restlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586442439173490257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-11238313395793366482008-08-30T22:25:00.000-04:002008-08-30T22:25:00.000-04:00Mythmere tried to make them available as a doc fil...Mythmere tried to make them available as a doc file through Lulu only to discover that Lulu automatically converted doc files to a PDF. I know he still wants to make them available as a doc file, but hasn't yet a good method to do so. <BR/><BR/>He wants to charge a dollar for the doc file version to help offset costs for art and layout on the PDF and printed version -- which seemed fair enough to me. I'm the guy who discovered and reported the Lulu autoconversion problem when he had it up for sale a month or so ago.<BR/><BR/>The doc file is very nice, however, so I really hope he can find a way to make it available. I'm working on adding my house rules in what little spare time I have and have everything in a single document I can print out for players will be great.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-59203689978308827322008-08-29T17:28:00.000-04:002008-08-29T17:28:00.000-04:00I seem to remember that the core S&W rules wer...I seem to remember that the core S&W rules were going to be available as a .doc file for everyone so that you could "roll your own" with them, much like people used to do with OD&D, but this way you could inline your specifics directly into the core rules.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if that's still in the plans?Restlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586442439173490257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-81440286699917729372008-08-28T19:13:00.000-04:002008-08-28T19:13:00.000-04:00Swords & Wizardry is an OGL retro-clone of the...Swords & Wizardry is an OGL retro-clone of the Original D&D and the first OD&D Supplement, Greyhawk -- the rules many of us D&D gnognards used most back in the day. The "White Box" version will just clone the rules of the original boxed set without the first supplement. <BR/><BR/>I have a .doc version of the text of upcoming release and am very impressed with Swords & Wizardry. It is pretty much completely compatible with "0e" to the point that some people in a game could be using their original books and some Swords & Wizardry and most would not notice any major difference in rules.<BR/><BR/>The main version should be available relatively soon both as a free PDF download and as a nice printed book from Lulu. The White Box version will follow later.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-82060218682655741192008-08-28T12:12:00.000-04:002008-08-28T12:12:00.000-04:00You seem to know more about it than the website le...You seem to know more about it than the website lets on, so I'll ask you. :) Is this a revamp of D&D in some way (you mention 0E), or something completely different?brandon karlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965986442476126755noreply@blogger.com
