Lulu Coupon Alert! - 30% Off - Lulu Coupon Alert!

I just noticed (thanks to +joseph browning ) that there is a 30% off all Lulu.com purchases coupon code floating around.

30% off is pretty huge and will go a long way to adding books to your gaming library.

The code is:

OCTSAVE30

Ends October 10th at 12:59 PM

(Joe also has 20% off on the Advanced Adventures Compendiums (vol. 1-3) - lots of adventuring for a very fair price)

Note - there are no affiliate links for Lulu. I'm sharing this because it's freaking awesome! :)

Add suggested purchases for your fellow Taverners in the comments section. They'll appreciate it as will I.

I'd highly recommend Basic Fantasy Roleplaying. Normal MSRP is already dirt cheap ($5 for a sofcover core, supplements at about $4 average) - and that's for full sized B&W interior perfect bound books ranging from 50ish to 150ish pages. You can get the entire library and a few extra core books for around $30.

Oh, and of course I'd recommend White Star and The Hero's Journey Fantasy Roleplaying - not just because I wrote them, but because they're awesome!

Thanks, scored a pile, including some books by Paolo Greco which look interesting and the Nod companion as a starter into that series.

Thank you for the update Erik. Picked up the AAC books, some Night Owl Workshop games, some Dyson Logos books, some NOD books, some Paolo Greco books on the recommendation above, and Adventures on Dungeon Planet. I have been watching some of these for some time and all look fun and interesting. Great deal from LULU.com.

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 ;)
