Swords and Wizardry!

[Eldrad]

I have discovered this OGL return to 0e D&D called Swords and Wizardry.

I must say this nearly free form minimalist sysytem based off the original edition of Dungeons and Dragons has set of my creative sparks!

I made an entire dungon with map, monsters and treasure on paper in less than 2 hours. A feat that cannot be done with current version of D&D.

4th edition is fun but it took HOURS to have a few large battles.

Not knocking D&D (as I am an avid edition whore and will play ANY version of the game) BUT the simplicity of Swords and Wizardry just brings out that creative childlike wonder that I first had when I first played DnD when I was 11 and I am 39 now.

Did I mention that it was FREE!

You can buy a hard copy off of lulu which it was a best seller back a few months ago.

Anybody want to get together on this board on this topic and write an old school S&W dungeon just for the fun of it?

I think a good question would be. Try it live maybe?
