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.
