A big plus is that you can use almost any OSR supplement with it.


Also, games like S&W are incredibly modular, they are basically the Legos of gaming.

Swords and Wizardry is the system I’ve used to run some of my favorite campaigns. I really enjoy not having a pile of rules to double-check before every session. Converting material from other D20 products, like spells, adventures, and magic items, is also pretty easy.

Not a 5e video, so refreshing. Good job Ben here's a Scooby Snack!

Its the best take on old school rules. and really it takes just eye balling to convert old DnD or 5th to Swords and Wizardry.

Just found out about this game….I’ve been playing D&D since the 80’s. I’m a huge fan of 1st and 5th edition versions…..but this game is fantastic! Love that it is all contained in one book and is a nod toward old school gaming.

And it includes rules for strongholds, sieges, and mass combat which are in my opinion important for role playing at higher levels.

It'll never be not funny to me that on the druid page it says humans can only be druids but the art depicts an elven druid. Would play tho

[patkelley]

Don't have this system but I'll check it out.

Was lucky enough to playtest this game with Matt Finch, the author and it is super fun!!!

S&W is my favorite system. I've looking for the best system for years. Elements of the game that are great (and so simple) : one number for saves (instead of the 6 traditional ones : poison, wands, spell, breath weapon..), the HD of the monster is the attack bonus (up to 15), and you get 9 levels of spells for wizards, and the paladin, druid, ranger, assassin & monk classes in the core book. Adapting stuff from other versions of D&D is so easy, I made some hombrew PC races lie gnome, half-orc, dragonborn, tiefling, dromite and made a ton of monster stats for miniatures I have (3E D&D, 4E D&D, PF and 5E) and of course spells (including 0 Level cantrips). I also use Professor DM's (Dungeoncraft) homebrew rules (fear save, insanity points, ethos points and 2d20s for casting a spell)

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed it!

I was just thinking about running S&W again after a long (and other RPG-filled hiatus). Everything he says, I can confirm. Thanks for the boost! :D

What happened to the hardback book, the link no longer works. Where can I find the Orcus artwork that is behind you, is it in one of the S&W books?

[n.ludemann]

I have your Core-Rules as POD, sadly Complete is not available as POD and it is sold out on your site.

[joshbeckelhimer]

Reason #6 - I wrote a lot of one-page adventures for it ;)

[Scubasgamecorner]

is this a new edition / system ? if so how long has it been out?

[spudsbuchlaw]

I'm pretty sure S&W is based on ODnD, and more cleaned up, but I ask: why use what I assume is basically worse B/X? What's the real difference between the two?

[pgpegxp]

Reason #6: not woke like that pos 5e.
