The Warlock for Swords & Wizardry

Now to the Brocken the witches ride;
The stubble is gold and the corn is green;
There is the carnival crew to be seen,
And Squire Urianus will come to preside.
So over the valleys our company floats,
With witches a-farting on stinking old goats.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Faust" 

Tonight is Walpurgis Night.  Tonight the witches will ride on brooms and goats to the Brocken in the Harz Mountains and celebrate with the Devil.
Tomorrow is Beltane and Witches will celebrate the start of May and the return of Summer with bonfires.

Today I celebrate the release The Warlock for Swords & Wizardry!

  1. Tim, just got my print copy in last night. I haven't had a chance to do more than skim it. I mostly got it for the Tiefling and to some extent the humanoid casters; I tend to keep my S&W complete pretty light on add-ons; a gnome and half-ogre race write-up, an added spell here and there, a house rule or four; BUT NO NEW CLASSES.

    I am, however, seriously considering allowing a player to use your Warlock class. That there is high praise from me! :)
