Expeditious Retreat Press is Giving Away Free Adventures in PDF

You read it right. Joseph Browning, the main man behind Expeditious Retreat Press, is giving away free PDFs of his Advanced Adventures line for OSRIC (usable with the OSR ruleset of your choice with minimal work).

So, how do you get in on this deal?

1 - Go the Joseph's Sorcery & Super Science Blog.

2 - Follow the Sorcery & Super Science blog via Google Friends Connect if you haven't already done so

3 - Let him know in a comment on the post linked here (and above) which singular aventure you would like to get (there are 25 to choose from - he has it linked on the post).

simple, aint it?

The Tavern is an Old School Blog. Joseph is giving away an Old School Adventure of choice to those who simply ask.

Match made in heaven if you ask me.

Time to unleash the hordes of drunken (and sober) Tavern patrons!

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 ;)
