Swords & Wizardry Ruleset Progress

[damned]

Updated progress. Working on the character sheet now. I'm going to attempt to make it look like the sheet in the book. Also, I'm trying to decide what to do with some of the alternate rules, such as alternate saving throws - death rays & poison, dragon's breath, wands, spells and saves, and turned to stone - or if I just provide the base rules with no alternative options. I think for the first release that will be the case and then I will explore providing options to allow the Referee to decide if they want to use alternate rules or not. It might be way more work than I'm willing to do in the long run. We'll see.

If I were doing this I would code only the Core Rule - or - my favourite variant rule and later on I would consider adding optional methods....
Also.... as a little side project... Im writing a MoreCore BX extension....

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, damned - just Core for now. I might consider doing an extension after I'm finished. Also, I like how you think, sir, with the BX extension!

Awesome to hear things are going well, Zhern. I would stick to the core complete S&W rules first. Maybe add the optional stuff later.

Damned, I had been wondering, what is the Damned Basic Dungeon in your signature? Is that related to the BX project you just mentioned or something different?

[Zhern]

Nothing to see here, move along.

So I might have gotten distracted and couldn't let the libraries not work properly. They are now mapped and usable within the ruleset. Back to the character sheet and mechanics.

I totally know the feeling. I'm still plugging through unarmed attacks for AD&D, which I know is a feature that won't be used much, if at all, but just can't let it go until I know it's done best I can make it. Sucks to be a perfectionist sometimes.

BTW, don't be shy to share some of what your working on even if it's in a rough state still. I can tell you that I found the comments of my friends extremely helpful and inspiring.

Let it go man! Let it go!
Well actually - work on the stuff that excites you the most - although that leaves all the boring bits for the end...
Hmmm... just ignore me!

Hah ha ha, I'm obsessing over a column not being wide enough to display "Rate of Fire," and my brain is zapped (guess it could be that I've been up since 5am, went to work, etc.) and I'm failing to wrap my head around the bounds used for the window and how to increase the width of the column. I should probably sleep.

Updated with current progress.

Looks like your making good progress. Awesome job.
