The fundamental rules will still, presumably, be available for free, and Mythmere may then be able to focus more on developing S&W materials.<br /><br />Neither non-profit socialism nor grasping, IP-driven capitalism.

Sacrilege. <br /><br />Personally I pine for the days when Swords & Wizardry wasn't bloated with aerial combat and stronghold building rules. Maybe I should start a "Swords & Wizardry Grognard" blog. When does an RPG cross the line with evolution? When can we start the S&W edition wars?<br /><br />Seriously, I hope the S&W fans enjoy the latest version of their game. The new edition sounds pretty cool.cibethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815626047653230637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-80827991256142942332010-10-06T14:06:51.863-04:002010-10-06T14:06:51.863-04:00I actually liked that the encounter charts listed ...I actually liked that the encounter charts listed CL instead, but I'll be able to deal.<br /><br />This looks great.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745062840676790649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-40316460139816227032010-10-06T13:25:45.202-04:002010-10-06T13:25:45.202-04:00People should make original games in the old schoo...People should make original games in the old school tradition and distribute under an GNU Open Document License.
