I went to order this on RPGNow and got to the paypal part when suddenly my comp went wonky on me. It took the money but didn't give me the link.
I know it will all get straightened out, but I want this now! ARRGGHH!!
Anyway, this is from the guys who do Colonial Gothic, so I'm very interested to see what they have done with the Sword & Sorcery genre. This has received quite a few positives from all the usual suspects in the know, and is fast on its way to "Indy Darling" status.
I see James Maliszewski named as one of the writers, so I'm very interested to read it. James has a great gaming blog called Grognardia that I follow and heartily recommend. He's also another Old school gamer from 1979, so his "Gamer Cred" is solid in my book.
Once I get my PDF copy of Shadow, Sword & Spell I'll post more.
But dont wait for me- Order it now!
The skill mechanic is counter-intuitive and will be house ruled away in my games, but it is otherwise pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a proper Legends of Steel SS&S Edition, but the existing versions provide enough world info that you could wing it pretty easily so I'll probably use Erisa rather than the sketchy background they provide.
I'm not sure how I'll use it as I have BoL and LoS fulfilling all my Swords & Sorcery needs at the moment but, being a fan of the Rogues, I ordered this anyway. I love Colonial Gothic and also plan to pick up the revised Thousand Suns when it comes available.
ReplyDeleteIf you purchase a Rogue Games book and show them the receipt they'll send you the pdf-version for free no matter where you bought it.
