I’m very proud to announce that the second printing of the Swords & Wizardry Core Rules is now available for free download here: Free PDF of Core Rules and that print versions are for sale (and super-cheap) at Lulu.com at our storefront


Swords & Wizardry is an OGL “retro-clone” of the original fantasy roleplaying game created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. The Core Rules also contain some selected material from the supplements (1974-1978). With a thriving internet community and tons of support products, Swords & Wizardry is bringing back a lost style of fantasy roleplaying. Forget huge rulebooks - just play. If you can imagine it, you can do it in Swords & Wizardry. The rules are simple and quick to learn, and they are infinitely flexible and expandable. Take the basic framework and “Imagine the hell out of it!”

Swords & Wizardry is supported by Knockspell Magazine, the quarterly magazine of fantasy retro-clone gaming, and by the active forums at www.swordsandwizardry.com/forum.

I can't even tell you how much I'm looking forward to getting a hardcover version of this game. It's going right on the shelf next to the 1E AD&D hardbacks.

Congratulations! And cover continues to amaze me.

What has changed in this printing with regards to the first?

I knew you were working on the 2nd printing but I purchased the 1st anyway. The second printing looks fantastic! I'll be picking that one up soon as well. A ton of great artwork too!

Gotcha over at DF, but it's basically errata and a ton of art.

There are some things Men and animals are not meant to know. Horrors beyond the pale and ken of mortal flesh. These things, we do not speak of here.

Man, I leave the boards for a few months and look what happens! I had no idea this was going on. This is awesome. What a fantastic effort!

I read the free PDF and loved it so much I bought a hardcover version. Also started a fan blog and am planning my S&W campaign for our gaming group.
