Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

In communication w/ our Imperious Leader, merias it came to my attention how few may not, for whatever reason, realize there was indeed a very short-lived (and IMO nigh-perfect) Third Print of WB from Brave Halfling Publishing. I have the pdf, two hardbacks and a softcover of this print. After BHPs ...

Okay, maybe Core's competition then is BFRPG; both living in the "basic 4 classes, basic 4 races" space, but allowing class+race combinations. Yeah, I suppose that's closer. Though, I've never taken Core to disallow any race/class combos. Short, simple statements such as "dwarves can only be x or y...

Yeah, I can see the confusion when I compared it to B/X in my OP. It's certainly not just like B/X and if one wanted something very much like B/X I would point them to B/X itself or LL at least and not to S&W Core. However, if they wanted something similar but simpler or specified they didn't want r...

What is the argument for adding the thief to the White Box game vs. switching up to Core? The sucks in Core too. ;) Actually, for me it would be that with Core one must take also all those extra spells, the variable HD and weapon damage and, worst of all, the monster multiple attacks/damage. Also, ...

Yeah, I dig this. I was already considering using it, but I'd like my WB thief to be very...ermm..WhiteBox-y. That is to say: each WB class is so shortly presented, then the thief seems like this big, complex thing (in WB terms/vision). The perfect S&W:WB thief (note, different from a D&D thief), IM...

I would post here but it seems that merias posts here so I don't have to! lol :D Despite OD&D's undeniably inherent flavor, WB is just so much easier to reference, deal with, and house rule. For my part I wish the single save with class and/or race save mods had always been a part of D&D. It's not t...

My fave flavor of S&W is WhiteBox. But I also dig Core. Despite official support Core seems to have been lost. WB was truly the one left languishing, but has of late (thankfully) received a good deal of quality third-party support. Heck, Barrel Rider Games' WB stuff were all top-sellers on RPGNow/Dr...

Hello, everyone! Name's Eric. I see a lot of very familiar faces here as I figured I would. :) I was a member of the S&W forums from the start and I've really missed it. The Google+ community for S&W is great but it still doesn't replace a forum. Thank you, merias for creating this! EDIT - Aaaannnd ...
