Highlighting Dragonlance on Sale during the D&D Sale

Dragonlance. If you were playing D&D in the 80s, you likely read the Dragonlance fiction and/or played the adventures. While I didn't much enjoy the Dragonlance modules (can you say "railroad"?) I thoroughly enjoyed the fiction, maybe too much, and enjoyed the Dragonlance Adventures Hardcover supplement for AD&D.

This week, DTRPG is highlighting Dragonlance during its site-wide D&D Sale.

Dragonlance Adventures (1e) gives you knew and revised classes and races for your AD&D campaign and is on sale for 2.99. Also clocking in at 2.99 is the Atlas of the Dragonlance World (1e). For less than six bucks that's a full on AD&D campaign.

Ot, if you want a AD&D 2e supplement, snag PG1 Player's Guide to the Dragonlance Campaign (2e) for 2.99

Want to play though the original 14 adventures of the Dragonlance series?Dragonlance Classics: 15th Anniversary Edition (2e/SAGA) is 5.99.

never could quite sink my teeth into Dragonlance. "Railroad" is an understatement.

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 ;)
