House rules update

I have updated my house-ruled version of the Swords & Wizardry Core Rules, incorporating such things as
  • sub-class add-ons to the core classes
  • d10 initiative
  • 3d6 characteristic rolls
  • armour and encumbrance based DEX penalties
  • hit-point and CON point damage
  • changed and added some spell decriptions, e.g. Feather Fall
and no doubt some other stuff that I've forgotten to mention.

In order to get the page-count down to a manageable size for stapling (68 pages) I haven't included any of the DM-specific stuff, such as monster stats or treasure/magic item descriptions.

If you feel the urge to take a look at it, you can download the PDF right here (it's about a 2 meg download) or you can go to my S&W page and poke around there.

  1. FYI - I DL'd the file but when I tried to open it I received a corruption error. I'm on Mac with Acrobat Pro.

    Looking forward to seeing it!

  2. Hmmm... I downloaded it myself and opened it without any problems, so I don't know what might have been the problem.

  3. It's working fine for me now. I don't know what the burp was.

    Anyway, nicely put together! I'll take a closer look but I already saw a couple of things that I might be incorporating into my game.

    Well done!
