Swords & Wizardry Rules "expert"?

**celestian** · June 17th, 2018, 20:48

I've been approached by Frog God Games to put together a ruleset for the Swords & Wizardry system. I've a good bit of knowledge with S&W but I am not a rules lawyer for the system. I am hoping to find a DM (or more) that has experience with S&W and FG both that can beta test the ruleset and give feedback where the rules within the ruleset need to be updated.

I am experienced enough with S&W to do get 80-90% but I want to make sure I do not missing anything. For example tonight I was reviewing bonuses for strength to hit/damage and the S&W Complete rules imply that only fighters get those. That is the type of thing I'll need help with.

We're still in the process of plotting out requirements and the schedule but im hoping to get rolling early next month (July) on the project assuming everything passes muster.

If you're interested in giving feedback on the ruleset and various other parts of the project please drop me an email at [email protected].

If you PM me here i might miss it because apparently my inbox has filled up a few times now ;(

Only Fighters get the strength bonuses.
This is because the Paladin and Ranger get so many other things that the Fighter does not.

Zhern knows a lot about it, maybe send him a PM? I don’t know how closely he follows the forums these days.

Zhern was the one previously doing a S&W ruleset... maybe check with him and see about coordinating on a single codebase? Also hang out and ask questions on the FGG Discord, I'd imagine there are more S&W players there than here?

Zhern, I am told, is working on other projects.

I am also looking in other D&D forums/areas for folks familiar with S&W. I'm hoping I can find someone experienced with S&W and FG though.

I can confirm that Zhern is working on other projects. I'm still available to answer questions as needed.

Don't know if he would have time to help, but what about the guy that actually wrote the S&W rulebook? I can put you contact with him.

Are you referring to Matt Finch?

Yep, he's a local.

I sent you a PM with a message from him.
