The Flame Princess is Running a Sale!

Lamentations of the Flame Princess is running a sale on all of it's PDF releases on RPGNow.

Wondering what all the hype is about with Vornheim? Find out for yourself for $1.35

Want to check out LotFP's Weird Fantasy RPG (Grindhouse Edition)? Just $1.35

Interested in why I think The Grinding Gear is one of the best adventures I've ever read (haven't run it yet tho')? You guessed it, just $1.35

Jim can be a larger (and louder) then life personality, but he has more then his fair share of gems in his collection. Help yourself before December 10th, when the regular prices return.

Didn't see the Grindhouse edition because of my preferences 'hiding' adult material. Thanks for the heads up!

Picked up Vornheim last-night, using some of my ill-gotten Feltothraxis electioneering loot.

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 ;)
