These are the complete rules, but unillustrated except for the covers. If you order the Brave Halfling boxed set you will get the three books reformated as five volumes with illustrations. These are still in layout. Two have been released to purchasers as pdfs.<br /><br />I'm not sure, but I don't think Brave Halfling will be selling these in the future, and I don't know what plans Immersive Ink has for print copies. Perhaps a print-on-demand option?Zenopus Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069501995927451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267677579874715622.post-58103368340561109012012-11-10T00:15:39.673-08:002012-11-10T00:15:39.673-08:00Kickstarter??

They had a successful Kickstarter over the summer for a new hardback version for distribution.

It was produced by folks who post over at the OD&D Discussion forums, and that's the target audience. It seems well received there.<br /><br />Brave Halfling doesn't publish S&W anymore after being caught in the middle of a dispute. That's one thing that led to Delving Deeper being produced. That said, BH is giving over support of DD to Immersive Ink (run by DD's editor) after the box set comes out, and instead focusing on producing adventures for the DCC RPG.Zenopus Archiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069501995927451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267677579874715622.post-77088460695544149262012-10-24T23:30:52.117-07:002012-10-24T23:30:52.117-07:00Holy crap!

Being incrementally closer to the original rules doesn't seem like much of a reason to take on a new rules set anymore. <br /><br />I've moved past replicants and am looking for games that add some new spin to the traditional material. DCC RPG, for example. <br /><br />And it seems odd that Brave Hafling--already publishers of S&W, the premiere OD&D-ish clone-- would take this on as well. <br /><br />S&W Quickstart had a sample dungeon?

It's the first of the clones to actually clone some of the important tables and aspects of the original that, for some strange reason, got left out of all the others so far. It's not an original work by any means, but it is probably the closest to the actual OD&D rules yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8267677579874715622.post-41390571884009125882012-10-24T05:54:17.313-07:002012-10-24T05:54:17.313-07:00Not a reboot, but a restatement of what Swords &am...Not a reboot, but a restatement of what Swords & Wizardry restated from Holmes+Moldvay+LBBs.
