I'm a huge fan of Swords & Sorcery settings and RPGs. There's just something exciting about the defaults built into the expectations built into the stories we have in our cultural library. For most, including myself, it brings up thoughts of Conan, Red Sonja, and the like.
The Swords & Chaos Kickstarter presents us with a D20 based S&S RPG. Familiar enough to the vast majority of gamers, with a resolution system that uses the Castles & Crusades Siege Engine. If you like C&C, Swords & Chaos will likely be a great fit (and a possible resource for an ongoing Castles & Crusades Campaign.
As a total aside, this Kickstarter will be using the same US-based printer that Troll Lord Games uses, so there is some basic insulation from the worldwide supply chain issues - books have been hit hard.
The Swords & Chaos PDF is 20 bucks and the print version is 50.

As someone who likes & plays both C&C & DCC this is tempting. I can get peanut butter with my chocolate.
