Swords & Wizardy- White Box (used)

 Hardcover,Used, Near Mint
 
SWORDS & WIZARDRY: WHITEBOX is a fast-moving fantasy role-playing game which re-creates the rules from the original 1974 printing of Dungeons & Dragons*. The rules are quick and easy to learn, compared to most modern games. Yet this game contains within itself the soul of mythic fantasy and the kindling of wonder. It’s powerful precisely because it’s encapsulated by such a small formula—like a genie imprisoned in the small compass of an unremarkable lamp. The WhiteBox version of Swords & Wizardry covers only the three books from the original boxed set released in 1974. If you want to play the complete version of Original D&D as it existed in 1978, you may want to try Swords & Wizardry Complete (Revised), but many players prefer this version for its simplicity and flexibility.
"So, my fellow nerds, I say to thee: All those hours flipping through the Monster Manual and Dungeon Master’s Guide, graphing out intricate underground lairs, rolling polyhedral dice, play-acting orcs and beholders and tavern keepers and saucy wenches, and creating worlds from nothing—behold your great works. You took your passions and rolled a natural 20. You would have never believe it at the time, of course, especially when so many people looked at you as a little weird or too nerdy for your own good, but you’ve truly brought magic into the world." -Michael Hughes, contributor 
"I wish I had the modules and monster sheets I painstakingly made in my youth. I used to cram them into envelopes and mail them, full of hope, to Dragon magazine. I suppose it's possible that they're in a filing cabinet at Hasbro or whomever ended up owning TSR's materials." -Cory Doctorow, author
