Microlite74 Swords & Sorcery is now available. This version of Microlite74 is designed for Swords & Sorcery settings. If the fantasy stories of Robert E. Howard, Fritz Lieber, Clark Ashton Smith, C.L. Moore, Karl Edward Wagner, and David Gemell are more to your taste that those of Tolkein or Eddings, this version of Microlite74 may be just what you are looking for. Microlite74 Swords & Sorcery is based on Microlite74 Extended 3.0 but with many special rules designed for  Swords & Sorcery style campaigns. For example, there are only two classes (Adventurer and Sorcerer) and 6 levels, magic is limited and casting certain spells can corrupt the caster, and many 0e style magic items are relics of dead civilizations from long ago. Humans are assumed to dominate the world and most enemies are other humans and animals. True monsters certainly exist but they are assumed to be rare. This is the first version of Microlite74 to provide detailed information on treasure.

Like all Microlite74 games, Microlite74 Swords & Sorcery is free. You can download a copy from Mediafire and print copies for you and your friends. The PDF file is about 1.46 megs. It's 38 pages and includes public domain art.

I just skimmed through and it looks interesting. I'm not sure why you need "The Cost of Sorcery" when you already have "Corruption". Seems unnecessary and a bit of overkill.

Awesome stuff!

Something about Microlite74 always makes me want to see it expanded and refined into a "complete game", like Mazes and Minotaurs, with that same slightly irreverent attitude. Cool stuff, as always.

Can you tell me where the artwork comes from? Particularly the pictures of the lions, and the circle of dancing things.
