Sword and Sorcery Saga v. 1.02 and NEW Adventure Conversion!

[The_Gneech]

My sword-and-sorcery conversion of SWSE is ready for perusal here:

http://www.gneech.com/swordandsorcery/index.html

Granted, it seems a little anti-climactic after the big 4E announcement, but still! Anybody out there who wants to take a look at it, try to break it, tell me what they like or hate about it, and so on, please do with my blessing and gratitude!

EDIT: The file above is now version 1.02, which adds a stat block for wolves (which were supposed to be there before but fell out somehow) and fixes a few typos.

ANOTHER EDIT: 8/24/2007 - I have added a new adventure conversion here:

http://www.gneech.com/swordandsorcery/downloads/swords_against_sorcery_conversion.pdf

This is a S&S Saga conversion of "Swords Against Sorcery" for Runequest/Lankhmar by Mongoose Publishing, which I highly recommend and can be purchased as a PDF here:

This conversion includes rules for Undead in S&S Saga, as well as statistics for

Spoiler

tiny monstrous hunting spiders, large monstrous hunting spiders, undead giant salt spiders, the Gray Mouser, a third level cult priestess, skeleton warriors, and 15th level lich nobles

!

Enjoy, and please let me know what you think!

UPDATE 12/21/2007 -- I have added a character sheet and a finalized High Fantasy Races writeup. My next project will be a character creation quicksheet. Enjoy! I have added some errata to the main page, as well.

UPDATE 12/23/2007 -- Character creation quicksheet added! http://www.gneech.com/swordandsorcery/downloads/saga_character_creation_quicksheet.pdf

Thanks! This looks like tremendous fun -- and this makes me sad that I didn't allocate funds for a copy of Star Wars Saga this pay period

Wow, that looks awesome.
Have you considered releasing the parts that aren't ripped from SWSE as Open Game Content so others can use them? I haven't read it in depth, but it looks like your spell system is quite different from SWSE's.

At this stage it's not quite robust enough to stand alone really -- but by all means snag the spell system for house rules if you'd like! Everything that was "just like in SWSE" I put in a placeholder so that I wasn't just cribbing off closed content material.

As for publishing it as an OGL release, I'd be happy to discuss it with a publisher, but I would say it was premature to really invest in a project like that with 4E around the corner.

Cool, thanks for releasing this. (Not all of us are "bowled over" by the 4th Ed news.)

So next I hope we'll see Saga + Mutants & Masterminds = kick-arse supers game!

This kind of seems to be overshadowed by some other stuff going around here at the moment, but I just wanted to say "Thanx!" I've only skimmed it so far but it looks really, really cool (and it kind of kills two birds with one stone for me at the moment).

Hey, that download worked great

Looking it over, I'm much impressed Way to go. Gives a good feeling for a S&S type of game.
