I adapted some of the classes from the Swords & Wizardry Companion website (http://swcompanion.wikidot.com/). Then I pulled some from other sources such as Holmes and LL. I'll probably be adding the AEC spells too.<br /><br />@Kigore - Yeah, it sounds like you're going the top-down approach and I'm going from the bottom-up. I'd be curious to see where we both end up.bliss_infintehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733609487959653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-56201842849114898802010-03-08T14:40:42.668-07:002010-03-08T14:40:42.668-07:00I feel your pain.

I settled on LL, added the AEC, and am now in the middle of re-writing it as our own game. It's taking LL/AEC and tweaking it in a decidedly OD&D direction.Lord Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100447170529010062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-15411131162522393412010-03-08T13:18:09.324-07:002010-03-08T13:18:09.324-07:00I find that the middle point can vary between grou...I find that the middle point can vary between groups of players. I currently run a super-simple whitebox game for one group, and a somewhat chunkier LL game for another. I find that if the players (or even the DM) want more options (classes, spells, etc.) it's fairly easy to slip them into a game as time goes on.Bob Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073807225519106277noreply@blogger.com
