Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day part 1

SW-Appr-Day-Coupon-sm

It's here! It's here! Get yourself to talesofthefroggod.com to get 25% off! It should go without saying, but just in case, this offer doesn't include items less than $1, S&W Cards, Pre-Orders, or Subscriptions. (Yeah, I know, I would have loved for it to work on a subscription.) Still, lots of great stuff for a good deal. You know you want Rappan Athuk. Yep, you really have no reason to resist getting it now.

The love continues on the Swords & Wizardry SRD Shop and use the coupon code: SWAD252013. (Disclaimer: I am one of the editors of the site. I'm not the great John Reyst, but I do help where I can.) You know you want the Tome of Horrors. Again, now is the time. Your willpower is weakening, I know it.

That not good enough for you? Well then, get started with the hackable Swords & Wizardry Core rules for free. If you need a coupon for free, you're not the only one. Click on the link and get yourself some gaming goodness.

Now we're at the bottom of this post. Here's what I'm posting later tonight on my site in grateful appreciation of Swords & Wizardry:

The Hewcaster class - a variant Magic-User class with a unique form of matter manipulation. Using their eldritch powers to capture the essence of a targeted creature or object creates the abominable cypher beasts and warps the landscape into colorless ooze. With the precious essence, the hewcaster creates elixirs with the power to transform the body, mind and soul. With the power of the hewstones, the wizard can even capture and distribute the memories of another.

Time permitting, there will also be a Ghost Generator. Incorporeal foes cannot be contained by walls, traps or many forms of containment magic. If they are moved to attack, they will move straight at you and they will not be stopped.

Also time permitting, every wanted to have Mechs or Hovertanks with your S&W rules? I've made about 40 mechs in various weight categories and now you can have them, too! (Assuming I'll be able to post it tonight.)

That all the news from here. I look forward to reading all the wonderful posts from around the blogosphere later (much later) tonight.

Wednesday Fast Approaches

In case you have not already heard, April 17th is Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day.

The good news is that I have a bunch of half to mostly finished ideas to draw from. The bad news is that my life and brain seem determined to keep me from finishing just one idea. Gamer ADD can be the opposite of fun sometimes. 🙂

I posted this list on G+ in the S&W Community, but I'll post it again here. What would you like to see?

  • More uses of the Turn Undead mechanic.
  • Psionics for S&W that defines the psionic character class by what he or she fights (incorporeal creatures including ghosts and shadows).
  • Mechs/hovertanks for S&W.
  • Re-imagined (not just serial numbers filed off) spelljammer like setting.
  • Hewcasting - a form of magic that temporarily strips the target of its essence. That essence is then used to cast spells, research magic or create magic items.
  • Ghost generator (with the assumption that ghosts are not undead.)
  • SE Asian inspired classes/magic/items etc.
  • My house rules in multiple electronic formats (including .chm).
  • Anything Almuric
  • Dragon Magic (they have a built-in awesome delivery mechanism)
  • Priests of Different Mythoi
  • A petty god of the Reincarnated, the Wrongly Re-formed and the Poorly Polymorphed
  • Sideways Time Travel

I'm not saying that I make the greatest gaming stuff ever or anything like that. But it would help me focus to know if there is interest in any of the ideas. I'm not objective, I tend to see the "big flaw" in some of these things and decide that publishing them isn't worth it.

Feel free to comment here on on the G+ Post.

I've added a link to the Swords & Wizardry SRD. Thanks to John Reyst and others that have made the site a very useful resource.

Unlike a lot of others, I'm not eligible for the gift card because I'm an editor on the site. That said, you should still visit the SRD for lots of S&W goodness.

Now to get ready for April 17th! (Bwa ha ha ha)
