Spellcraft & Swordplay has been around for a few years. It's an OSR style game that takes OD&D back to it's Chainmail roots - you resolve combat using 2D6, not a D20. It's extremely familiar in feel, and yet foreign at the same time. There are more changes then that, of course (spell casting for one), but that is the core.
Elf Lair Games has released Spellcraft & Swordplay Basic Game for free on RPGNow. It covers the first 3 levels of character advancement, so it is less a quick start and more of a starter book for the full Spellcraft & Sorcery Rules.
If you ever wanted to check the Spellcraft & Swordplay system out before, or if you've never heard of it before, here's your chance to take it for a ride for free.
