I estimate that there are four pirated copies in use for every one sold. We aren't sure how much this affects our sales - I'm sure a lot of pirates wouldn't have bought our stuff anyway - but there are certainly those who have made the choice to steal rather than buy. There isn't too much we can do about it, though we have got a few sites to pull down links, and got a few pirates to pay up. Piratebay, demonoid and all those other seeders have CC3 on torrent. If you don't think the software represents value for money after that, just get your money back. I'd like to appeal to those people considering a pirated copy to buy the software - since 2005 we've had a 14-day money back guarantee, and we urge you to try our support and community if you have any questions during that time. Maybe it's the simplicity of it.The second most popular Google search term after "Campaign Cartographer 3" is "Campaign Cartographer 3 torrent." That took me longer to adjust to, but even that seems like a natural to me now. It may be the same with LL and the rest, but for me the ease of use fit's my expectations with S&W.Įven the single saving throw. They seem to fit into S&W with little fuss. I grab and pick and steal from just about all OSR and Original resources. (my God but I can run it nearly without the book)
Just much less rules hopping than I remember. It plays so close to the AD&D of my youth and college years (S&W Complete especially) that it continually surprises me. I can house rule it and it doesn't break. It's easy for lapsed gamers to pick up and feel like they haven't lost a step. So, out of all that, why Swords & Wizardry ? Why, when I have been running a AD&D 1e / OSRIC campaign in Rappan Athuk am I using Swords & Wizardry and it's variant, Crypts & Things, for the second campaign? (Actually, now running a S&W Complete campaign, soon to be with multiple groups)
I am so deep in the OSR when I come up for breath it's for the OSR's cousin, Tunnels & Trolls BOTH editions of LotFP's Weird Fantasy and some dead tree copies of the Greyhawk Grognards Adventures Dark & Deep I even have Dark Dungeons in print, the Delving Deeper boxed set, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea. Actually, I have the whole available line in print. I have LL and the AEC (and somewhere OEC, but I can't find it at the moment). I have OSRIC in full size, trade paperback and the Player's Guide. Believe me when I say I have them all in dead tree format.
