For Swords & Wizardry, which is to say 0e, Frog God Games has launched the Kickstarter for the Borderland Provinces, the campaign area that includes Rappan Athuk and the Lost City of Barakus. It's also in 5e and Pathfinder versions, but for OSR purposes you'd want the Swords & Wizardry version...

There's a long thread about Quests of Doom on the 5e board, so I thought I'd mention that there's also the Pathfinder pdf edition out today as well. (it's the book pre-order with the pdf available immediately on pre-order, I think the pdf is also available separately). Check out the author...

First off, there's a HUGE conflict of interest in this post, since Swords & Wizardry is one of the stand-alone products up against the quick start rules for a White Wolf and a Green Ronin game. But I've been mulling it over, not surprisingly, and it's really an interesting question. I'm hugely...

I've checked the ENnies site at The ENnie Awards Home Page and I'm not finding enough information - how to submit a pdf, how to send anything to the judges (ie, their addresses) ... is there another site with this information, or does more information get provided once the entry form is filled...

Forgive that this doesn't sound much like a press release, but my whole purpose here is to foster a hobbyist approach rather than a business/consumer approach to games. :) Here is where to download the free pdf: Download Swords & Wizardry Here is the Swords & Wizardry Home page, which accesses...
