The Return of the Open Source White Box and Core Rules Swords & Wizardry Docs
I've been asked on nearly a daily basis "When is the SwordsandWizardry.com site coming back up?". The truth is, I don't know. When I have an update, you'll see it here first.
In the meantime, I've gotten permission to host the Swords & Wizardry White Box RTF File and the Swords & Wizardry Core Doc file. Just go to http://bit.ly/SWOpenSource
What does this mean for you?
If you like to house rule, you can go in, edit the files and print it at at home, at a professional printer or at Lulu.com. Yes, your own, customized, Swords & Wizardry ruleset. (sorry, art assets and cover art are not included)
It also means if you have the desire to hack together a new ruleset, using Swords & Wizardry as your inspiration, the tools are here. The S&W White Box rules are what I hacked up to come up with Swords & Wizardry Light.
I'll be looking to put together a page with other Swords & Wizardry resources. I'll post it at The Tavern when such is live. (If you have houseruled / hacked S&W ruleset you want to share with the community, this will be the place)
Long live Swords & Wizardry :)
Note - the PDF files and the POD are still hosted at Lulu.
Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteFYI - All I'm seeing in that Dropbox folder is a .doc of White Box and a .pdf of White Box.
oops - let me fix
ReplyDeleteNow you've got the .rtf and .doc, but both of White Box
Deletenow fixed - sigh - best laid plans of mice and dwarves...
DeleteI've been there... thanks again!
DeleteWhat happened to the site?
ReplyDeleteit's been off line for an extended period of time. I do not know when / if it is returning

ReplyDeleteI did this exact thing with White Box. It was quite the learning experience.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have the page up Erik, I'd be happy to include the PDF of White Box:FMAG
I just have to say; that Mullen cover for Core is probably my favorite cover of any OSR RPG!
ReplyDeleteAll of these files have been available at the new S&W forums for months at:

Enjoy.
"Yeah, just add a few house rules in..."
ReplyDeleteThat's how it starts. Then I ended up publishing The Hero's Journey Fantasy Roleplaying.
