Announcing the Swords & Wizardry Quick Start module


I'd like to announce, in cooperation with Three-Headed Monster Games, the release of the Swords & Wizardry Quick Start module (download PDF here).

The Swords & Wizardry Quick Start is an introduction to the world of Swords & Wizardry(tm), the popular recreation of the original 1974 edition of Dungeons & Dragons(tm). It contains everything you need to play:
  • Character creation
  • Play and combat rules
  • Game Referee Guidance
  • A complete adventure – The Dungeon of Akban
It's audience is for new players and new Game Referees of Swords & Wizardry. With extensive help, suggestions and examples laid throughout the simple rules and adventure, novices can quickly immerse themselves into a fantastic world of adventure and danger. Upon completing this Quick Start, players and Game Referees will be able to easily master the full Swords & Wizardry Core Rules.

The front cover of the Quick Start is by Mark Allen of Marjasall Productions. Mark is the first place (Color) winner of the 2009 Erol Otus Art Challenge by Fight On! magazine and Otherworld Miniatures. Mark is also known for his work with Troll Lords Games LLC. (http://portfolio.marjasall.com)

The rear cover was done by Paul (bliss_infinite) Fini. (http://www.indieonlycomics.com) The interior art is from Brave Halfling Publishing.


The Swords & Wizardry Quick Start Rules is produced in cooperation with the members of Three Headed Monster Games: a collective of creative individuals offering support to one another to improve, review, and edit their work into the best form possible with the tools and talents available within that network. The Quick Start is the first release done in cooperation with THM Games - more is on the way! For more information on THM Games, check out http://thmgames.blogspot.com
