Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Schweet! Looking forward!

dewd! sweet maps bruh

I have Hexographer & Dungeonographer ~ not exactly "user friendly" but once you get the hang of them you can make awesome old-school maps

My dead tree copy of the rules showed up today. I feel guilty that some poor woman with the USPS had to deliver it to me on a Sunday. I could have waited, seriously. Looks good, though. I'm glad to have a complete game in one small volume. It makes me feel like I'm eleven all over again. Now I want to create a campaign completely from scratch...

Cool! Glad to hear you like them. I had the same feeling when I first saw them. The simplicity was beautiful. And this forum is like a bastion of awesomeness. Hope I can capture some of the magic in my silly little campaign.

Speaking of, It took me a couple extra days to post, it's that time again - FANTASY FOOTBALL. And I've had to do my pre-draft research and prep. My draft is 4PM EST today, so we'll see how that goes. My team is usually a real turd, so I'm anticipating similar results this year.

How's the quality of the book ~ pretty much like the old D&D Red Box version? What was the cost of it again? *or the link you used if you'd rather not post about $$.

$4.29 on Amazon. Quality is similar to that of the Labyrinth Lord books I bought several years ago on Lulu. All B&W. No red and black lettering. I hadn't decided whether or not to spring for the better quality print available from RPGNow. As luck would have it, though, I added the cheap version to my Amazon cart, then left it there. A few days later, Niamh said, "Hey Steve, I was putting together an Amazon order, and I saw a D&D book in the cart. It was only four bucks, so I got it for you." Cha-ching! Spousal support of my unnecessary purchase!

Here is the amazon link:

Charlie (who posts here from time to time as The Wanderer) really did a great job cleaning up the White Box rules. It's my favorite version by far. Complete yet still leaves enough open to let your creativity loose.

Thank you. This is why I was asking Steve, because I know sometimes these books can be produced by more than one entity, so I didn't want to overpay if I didn't have to.

True love. Hang on to her!
