Post your comments here for Daniel Buterbaugh's Sword & Board supplement.

https://www.basicfantasy.org/showcase.cgi?sid=21

I iike this, not all of it but it contains so much that there is plenty to pick and choose from. For me the spells and magic items are very likely to make it into my game (if I ever have a game again) as well as some of the monsters.

I was curious if anybody had compared the two-weapon systems given here and in the Combat Options supplement. The Sword & Board variant is much simpler (barring when two different damage weapons are used), and makes it more accessible to characters (any character can do it without substantial to hit penalties), but I'm curious if damage rates have been compared.

Just an FYI that you can buy a print copy at http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php? ... s_id=88225. It's only $3.17.

I was actually thinking that this would make a great ongoing BFRPG e-zine. Its chock full of some great rules, items etc..

While there are individual supplements for monsters, classes etc. I def. like this compilation of various items. I think an ongoing (but not not published on any regular schedule) "magazine/compilation" ala Knockspell or Fight On!

Now that I've thought on it, I think it'd be better to just post ideas "on-demand" either here in the forums (esp. Workshop if a document possibly grows out of it) or possibly as a blog post on this site.

But a compilation in printed form would be nice.. and with Amazon Create Space probably fairly cheap..

I think a worthy endeavor is to make our Supplementary Material available/searchable/etc. via the blog portion of the site. Somebody could take the time to pull the material from the ODT files, format them properly (for the html/blog), and get them posted via the Blog; sometimes they can even be broken up into smaller chunks. If done with regularity, the postings would be something that drums up interest and creates a little more 'press' for us via the blogger side of the internet.

And, helping make this more public, Solo, we need to add in Facebook and Google+ buttons for quick sharing of individual blog posts via those outlets. I am sure that wordpress has such tools readily available.
