More Sales at DriveThruRPG - Fractal Mapper v8.0 and Fiery Dragon Counter Collection v3.0 for $10 each

Last night I highlighted some bundles, now I'll highlight two accessories.

Fractal Mapper v8.0 is a very powerful mapping tool. Normally $35, it's on sale for 10 bucks

Counter Collection Digital v3.0 - there's so much to say, I'll let Fiery Dragon say it:

This download is in a large ZIP archive, it is over 525MB to download and uncompresses to approximately 550MB. There are approximately 3,400 images, nearly 3,000 are unique [some overlap exists between folders for organization].

This downloadable version of our Counter Collection Digital v.3.0 contains every counter image produced up to December 2008 by artist Claudio Pozas: a massive collection of characters, monsters, items, and more! This is a massive update to the v2.0 counter collection, with nearly 3,000 unique counter images spanning 3rd edition, 4th edition, Modern [with plenty of supers counters], Ptolus, Arcana Evolved and Iron Heroes.

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 ;)
