You can read more about the challenge here and here.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

In Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised clerics cannot be Neutral—only Lawful or Chaotic. Hence I decided to make 10 of each. Lawful clerics worship Lawful deities, while Chaotic worship, well, Chaotic deities. The deities were sourced at random from Petty Gods.

Adventurers

Character	Class	Description
Rashomon	Elf level 2	A dangerous looking elf.
Llyfed	Elf level 3	Thin and balding elf whom also happens to be Rashomon's friend.
Nolmbork	Dwarf level 2	Portly, bald, red bearded, with an epic nose. On a mission to have a drink in every settlement in Wilderlands.
Orist	Elf level 1	An elf.
Derennan	Dwarf level 3	A dwarf hailing from Western Wastes.
Rah	Cleric level 2	A follower of Molna, God of Travellers, whom has an opinion about everything.

Gloomfrost 4th, Fireday

“Cursed?! Of course it is cursed, the damned thing is called “Doomed!” What else would it be?! YOU KNEW THAT AND YOU TOOK IT ANYWAY?!”

Tangay's mocking tone still rang true in Rashomon's ears. To add insult to injury, the word has spread Hara like wildfire. Not only has the elf become laughingstock of everyone at the Wizards' Guild, but also of commoners as well. It seemed like everyone snickered and giggled at Rashomon.

Mavis the Magnificent, Poseidon's High Priestess, whom is capable of raising dead is most certainly capable of removing curses as well. Prayers to the God of Sea weren't sufficient—a donation of 4 500 gp is required as well.

So here he was, back at the den, with Llyfed, Nolmbork, Orist, Derennan, and Rah, newly recruited human cleric. They spotted a gang of dog-headed humanoids descending into the dungeon the night before.

Now it was their turn to go down.

Corpses from the entrance chamber were gone.

The party turned left, left at the junction, and then broke into the chamber they've been passing until now. Stench of death permeated the room. Six maggot-infested goblin corpses were strewn about the chamber. Party closed the doors and moved down the corridor, took another left turn, and through yet another doors.

“Huh?”

A twenty by twenty feet bare chamber with a plate-sized hole in the center and doors on the opposite side. Peeking through the doors revealed four large interlinked circles carved into the north wall. After deploying a number of safety precautions, the party traversed the room without any loss.

Now they entered into the many-doored chamber they've been to before—the one with a painting of robed man reading many books at once. Derennan ordered the painting to be wrapped and taken to identification in Hara.

Pushing on, adventurers found themselves in yet another long corridor. Darkness to the left, darkness to the right; left one seemed more attractive. Another t-shaped junction, splitting right and forward.

“Let's check doors to the right.”

They too were stuck; nothing that these strong folk couldn't get unstuck. But not before failing once first.

“Goblins!”

With neither side surprised, and both sides charging towards each other, they clashed in the middle of the chamber. A funny looking goblin with a green pointy hat, and amateurishly painted mail armour, stood in the center, barking some incomprehensible words and waving a rod-like object.

Nolmbork, in his great excitement to slay some goblins, had drawn the sword so quickly he nicked his own throat, nearly decapitating himself. Weren't it for Rah, the dwarf would've most certainly died there and then.

Illustrated by kickmaniac

Brutal skirmish did not last long. Rashomon had slain one, Nolmbork two after he had recovered, Llyfed one, and Derennan had beheaded the one with pointy hat. They left one alive for some interrogation.

This was a filthy chamber, with some pilled rocks in the corner pretending to be an altar to the goblins' god of hunt.

“What lies to the south, beyond the doors?!”

“To the west is our treasure room and to the south is death!”

“What do you mean?”

“There are a bunch of pools, and if you drink from any you dieee!”

“Open the doors for us!”

“Oh, are these mighty, heavily armoured and armed adventurers so cowardly to be afraid of opening the doors for themselves?”

They executed him after he opened the doors.

Orist noticed secret doors in the northwest portion of the chamber. Pushing them open revealed a room nearly twice as big compared to the one they were in.

Three large chests were lined by the north wall. Leftmost one was closed without obvious lock, middle one was smashed open, and the rightmost one was closed with a large padlock.

Careful inspection revealed very little. By now, the wise adventurers have learned better than to “just” open unlocked chests in the dungeon, even if they happen to be in a secret chamber. So one of them fetched the rod waved by the goblin shaman, and used it to open the chest.

Oh!

It was filled to the brim with orangish coins. A small coin pouch rested on top. In it—three small, shiny gems.

Investigating the chest on the right side had triggered the padlock. It shook and formed a mouth, which spoke with large, booming voice:

“What belongs to you, But is used more by thy friends?”

“Name!”

“Correct!” the padlock answered, laughing heartily. And then it popped open!

One of the elves gingerly opened the chest. It was lined with plush velvet. In the center was another box, small and elegant. Inside it were four vials with silver liquid. On each was a label in elven script but common tongue: “an open book,” ““a stylized shining sun, “a mouse,” and “a muscled man.”

Having plundered everything they could, the party moved further south. Short corridor terminated with another t-shaped junction. Light was shinning underneath doors to the south. Listening at the doors revealed nothing though.

Forcing the doors open did reveal a bit more though. Wide t-shaped chamber, illuminated by unknown sources, with eight small pools containing various coloured liquids.

Following brief exploration (without any licking, sipping, or drinking), the party had decided they've accumulated enough treasure to head back to Hara.

Being encumbered meant they were moving half their usual speed. Which meant it'd take them twice as long to reach Hara. But that also meant they have more time to count all their copper coins. All 1 573 copper coins.

Gloomfrost 9th, Fireday

Since they've returned, the party had taken all their suspicious liquids to the alchemist for identification. She was unhappy about their slow progress regarding the Red Dragon, but sold them her service nonetheless.

Llyfed took the goblin's steel rod to the Wizards' Guild for identification. Now he too was the laughingstock for thinking that a steel rod is magical.

“IT IS A ROD! A STEEL ROD! HAHAHAH–”

But Tangay's laughter was cut short as Derennan presented the recovered portrait.

“Wh-where did you find this?! Do you know who that is?! That's famous Sysgrin! You found it in a dungeon? He used to have a tower around here... Listen, listen! If you bring me his book I'll teach your friends any spell that I know!” He confirmed that Sysgrin had a penchant for riddles and traps.

Finally, Derennan checked on the gold necklace he had commissioned from the local jeweller. It was to be a gift for the Imrael family, the wealthiest and most influential family in Hara.

Few nights ago, whilst returning from the dungeon, they were awoken to sounds of battles. Or rather, sounds of screams and agony and wolf howls. They choose to ignore them and sleep on.

Today Derennan learnt that one of Imrael's caravans hadn't arrived.

You can read more about the challenge here and here.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

Finnaly, after days of working on spreadsheets and tables, I can roll first twenty characters. Following rules-as-writte, Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised character attribute scores are generated 3d6 in order.

First batch of characters will be Assassins, since they are the first class in the rulebook. I'll be using equipment packs I shared yesterday instead of buying each item individually. All packs are optimised for adventuring. Half will be male, half female; half will be Neutral and other half will be Chaotic.

Here are the generated stats:

SET	STR	DEX	CON	INT	WIS	CHA	GOLD
1	10	9	10	12	10	12	11
2	16	10	14	7	14	13	10
3	13	11	8	11	11	11	14
4	6	12	17	10	7	11	10
5	8	7	8	14	14	10	10
6	14	12	11	9	10	12	9
7	7	11	16	8	9	11	12
8	5	9	9	8	12	15	11
9	8	12	10	6	12	14	9
10	15	11	13	9	8	6	12
11	10	10	8	11	11	10	6
12	6	13	13	5	10	7	12
13	12	10	13	7	11	11	12
14	18	7	11	11	7	11	9
15	15	9	8	11	11	13	13
16	12	14	10	10	6	11	11
17	8	3	11	13	12	9	13
18	7	15	7	10	11	12	12
19	8	5	13	9	11	16	13
20	7	8	5	13	12	12	7

Unlike in Original Dungeons & Dragons, in Swords & Wizardry Complete you can be any class regardless of attributes. If you do meet the requirements then you get XP bonus.

So, let's get down to it.

Since stength bonus for to-hit and damage does not apply to Assassins I only included them in case the value was negative.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

Having finished categorising equipment the next natural step was to make 16 equipment packs (30–180 budget). Well, here they are for assassins. Since assassins are limited to leather armour I spent a fair amount on their budget on exploration gear as well as means to counter various threats. 170 and 180 tiers got a horse as well. Each budget got one-handed, two-handed, and missile weapon. And because they are assassins, a dagger is included for each budget as well.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

Before I start making equipment packs for each class, I ought to classify different equipment items provided in the Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised. For that I used Necropraxis's classification of OD&D equipment as the springboard. I settled for 11 categories: one-handed melee weapons, two-handed melee weapons, missile weapons, animals & vehicles, armor, exploration gear, container, light, counter, rations & travel, and misc.

Here are items in each category.

You can read more about the challenge here and here.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

Now that I have finished spreadsheet with attributes and respective modifiers, I must concatenate the results to get single block of text I can just copy/paste in post or on Discord. To do so I have used CONCAT in LibreOffice:

=CONCAT("**STR:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.B2;" (to-hit modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.H2;"; damage modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.I2;"; open doors: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.J2;"; carry modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.K2;" lbs )";CHAR(10);"**DEX:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.C2;" (missile to-hit modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.L2;"; AC modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.M2;")";CHAR(10);"**CON:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.D2;" (hp per hit die modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.N2;"; raise dead survival: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.O2;")";CHAR(10);"**INT:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.E2;" (max additional languages: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.P2;")";CHAR(10);"**WIS:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.F2;" (experience bonus: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.T2;")";CHAR(10);"**CHA:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.G2;" (max # of special hirelings: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.U2;"; retainer morale adjustment: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.V2; "; experience bonus: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.W2;")")

And here is the longer one for spellcasters (non-arcane casters just need max languages known):

=CONCAT("**STR:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.B2;" (to-hit modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.H2;"; damage modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.I2;"; open doors: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.J2;"; carry modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.K2;" lbs )";CHAR(10);"**DEX:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.C2;" (missile to-hit modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.L2;"; AC modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.M2;")";CHAR(10);"**CON:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.D2;" (hp per hit die modifier: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.N2;"; raise dead survival: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.O2;")";CHAR(10);"**INT:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.E2;" (max additional languages: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.P2;"; max spell level: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.Q2;"; chance to understand new spell: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.R2;"; min/max number of basic spells understandable per level: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.S2;")";CHAR(10);"**WIS:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.F2;" (experience bonus: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.T2;")";CHAR(10);"**CHA:** ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.G2;" (max # of special hirelings: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.U2;"; retainer morale adjustment: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.V2; "; experience bonus: ";$'ATTRIBUTE SCORES'.W2;")")

With that I get cells that have markdown-ready stat block:

STR: 14 (to-hit modifier: +1; damage modifier: 0; open doors: 1–2; carry modifier: +10 lbs ) DEX: 11 (missile to-hit modifier: 0; AC modifier: none) CON: 11 (hp per hit die modifier: 0; raise dead survival: 75%) INT: 7 (max additional languages: 0) WIS: 10 (experience bonus: none) CHA: 11 (max # of special hirelings: 4; retainer morale adjustment: 0; experience bonus: none)

And expanded version for magic-users:

STR: 14 (to-hit modifier: +1; damage modifier: 0; open doors: 1–2; carry modifier: +10 lbs ) DEX: 11 (missile to-hit modifier: 0; AC modifier: none) CON: 11 (hp per hit die modifier: 0; raise dead survival: 75%) INT: 7 (max additional languages: 0; max spell level: 4; chance to understand new spell: 30%; min/max number of basic spells understandable per level: 2/4) WIS: 10 (experience bonus: none) CHA: 11 (max # of special hirelings: 4; retainer morale adjustment: 0; experience bonus: none)

Now to take care of height and weight. I'm using a simplified procedure by spurious. It is based on AD&D charts with corrections from Stephen Innis but quicker to roll. I whittled the table down to “just” dwarf, elf, half-elf, halfling, and human (since that's what's presented in the Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised rulebook).

What took me the longest is figuring out how to get feet'inch” height notation from just inches (turned out it is just integer value of inches divided by 12 and then add remaining inches). I'm used to SI units, not imperial, so I also made sure to convert to metres and kilograms as well.

Like above, I used CONCAT function to generate nicely formatted plain text output. Here are four dwarves (STR 3, 9, 15, and 18):

4'3'' / 1.3 m, 145 lbs / 66 kg 4'4'' / 1.32 m, 150 lbs / 68 kg 4'5'' / 1.35 m, 155 lbs / 70 kg 4'7'' / 1.4 m, 165 lbs / 75 kg

Four elves, same STR scores:

4'8'' / 1.42 m, 90 lbs / 41 kg 4'10'' / 1.47 m, 100 lbs / 45 kg 4'11'' / 1.5 m, 105 lbs / 48 kg 5'0'' / 1.52 m, 110 lbs / 50 kg

Four humans, same STR scores:

4'9'' / 1.45 m, 95 lbs / 43 kg 5'3'' / 1.6 m, 155 lbs / 70 kg 5'8'' / 1.73 m, 205 lbs / 93 kg 5'11'' / 1.8 m, 235 lbs / 107 kg

Equipping new characters can be slow and painful, especially if there are long equipment lists with many cheap items. We roll 3d6, multiply the result with ten, and that's the amount of gold coins to spend.

What I'll do instead, is create “standard starting equipment pack” for each entry on 3d6 roll (i.e. 3–18, 16 entries in total) for each class—something similar to what Necropraxis did for OD&D Fighter, Magic-User, Cleric, and Thief. I hope to make one table per class per day. The benefit of course is that such table(s) will be reusable for new characters as well. But damn, I'm not looking forward to it!

You can read more about the challenge here and here.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

As mentioned in the first post, I plan to make 260 characters for Swords & Wizardry Complete. Since that's a lot of rolling, I'm writting scripts for Inspiration Pad Pro (IPP) and creating spreadsheets in LibreOffice Calc.

First step was to create a spreadsheet which rolls 20 attribute score sets, and lists their respective modifiers:

Next step will be to concatenate results to get output like:

STR: 14 (to-hit modifier: +1; damage modifier: 0; open doors: 1–2; carry modifier: +10 lbs) DEX: 10 (missile to-hit modifier: 0; AC modifier: none) CON: 11 (hp per hit die modifier: 0; raise dead survival: 75%) INT: 13 (max additional languages: 3) WIS: 13 (bonus xp: +5%) CHA: 11 (max # of special hirelings: 4; retainer morale adjustment: 0; bonus xp: 0)

Having had enough of spredsheets, I turned to automating Arduin's Optional Character Appearance Chart with IPP.

“Regular” chart:

DIE ROLL	HAIR	EYES	SCARS	BIRTHMARKS	PIGMENTATION	EXOTIC THINGS
1	Light Brown	Hazel	None	Crescent	Light Tan	None
2	Brown	Light Brown	1”	Star (5 point)	Medium Tan	Cyclopic Eye
3	Dark Brown	Brown	1 1/2”	Star (6 point)	Dark Tan	Six Fingered, Etc.
4	Auburn	Dark Brown	None	Star (8 point)	Milky White	Double Thumbed
5	Red	Grey	1/2”	Triangle	Caucasian	Pointed Ears
6	Black	Light Blue	1/4”	“X”	Amber	Fang Mouthed
7	Blonde	Blue	None	“Z”	Pale Grey	All Double Joints
8	Light Blonde	Black	2”	Snake	Pale Blue	Gills And Lungs
9	Dark Blonde	Yellow	3”	Bird	Yellow White	Webbed Toes, Etc.
10	Grey	Light Green	None	Spider	Pale Orange	Two Hearts
11	Silver	Green	4”	Sword	Pale Green	Very Hairy
12	Golden	Amber	5”	Horns	Pale Silver	No Body Hair
13	Bald	Aqua	None	Pentagram	Pale Gold	No Belly Button
14	Roan	Violet	6”	Circle	Light Brown	Hermaphrodite
15	Yellow	Tan	7”	Square	Medium Brown	Transparent Skin
16	Orange	Gold	None	None	Dark Brown	Scaly Skin
17	White	Silver	8”	None	Black	Double Pupiled
18	2 Mixed **	Bronze	10”	None	Ochre	Reptile Tongued
19	Grey / Mix **	Copper	1’	None	Grey-Green	Cat Clawed
20 *	Special	Special	Special	Special	Special	Tailed (d6’)

“Special” chart:

DIE ROLL	HAIR	EYES	BIRTHMARKS	PIGMENTATION
1	Purple	Purple	Wolf’s Head	Metallic **
2	Green	Orange	Leaping Panther	Half And Half **
3	Blue	Pink	Dragon	Chequered **
4	Pink	Scarlet	Sun Disk	Striped**
5	Scarlet	Pupilless **	Ankh	Fluorescent **
6	Saffron	2 Mixed **	Thunderbolt (d3)	Chameleon Like
7	Maroon	3 Mixed **	Comet	Pearlescent
8	Cyan	Maroon	Crown	Purple
9	Magenta	Cyan	Heart	Maroon
10	Lavender	Magenta	Griffon	Cyan
11	Transparent	Red	Unicorn	Scarlet
12	Tentacles	White	Pegasus	Red
13	Quills	Clear	Lion	Shiny Ebon
14	Feathers	Metallic **	Raven	Deep Blue
15	Crested	Glowing **	Scythe	Emerald Green
16	Horned	No Eyes ***	Hammer	Gem Sparkled **
17	2 Mixed **	All Pupil **	Infinity Sigil	Shifting Always **
18	3 Mixed **	Invisible ****	Tree	Lavender
19	Vipers	Prismatic	Flower (choice)	Violet
20	Changeable **	Flaming **	Eye	Prismatic

Footnotes: * re-roll on the special chart ** roll for the colour(s) *** born without eyes, sockets, and lids; 50' radar sense **** eyes are present but it looks like empty sockets

Players are allowed to roll on however many columns they want. Although I want pregens to stand out a little bit (after all, they are supposed to be adventurers), I also don't want to create 260 freaks with exotic features.

Hence I made a small table to randomise number of appearance columns that get rolled on:

DIE ROLL	HAIR	EYES	SCARS	BIRTHMARKS	PIGMENTATION	EXOTIC THINGS
1–7	YES	YES	NO	NO	YES	NO
8–12	YES	YES	YES	NO	YES	NO
13–16	YES	YES	NO	YES	YES	NO
17–18	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	NO
19–20	YES	YES	NO	NO	YES	YES

Here are few test outputs:

• grey hair; dark brown eyes; yellow white skin tone; no body hair
• 2 mixed (roan and bald) hair; gold eyes; pale grey skin tone
• brown hair; black eyes; amber skin tone
• yellow hair; dark brown eyes; grey-green skin tone; none-shaped birthmark
• white hair; bronze eyes; medium tan skin tone; 1 ½'' scar

Love the second roll. I imagine it as as guy with bald top of the head and then some small roan bushes to the side. GOld eyes and pale grey complexion for that slightly sickly look. Sounds like a perfect Magic-User.

Either way, enough for today.

Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”

This year we'll be moving from B/X rules to OD&D rules (via Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised). As part of the move, and due to lamentations of my friend, I have decided to make 260 pregens: 20 for each human class, and then 20 for each ancestry (dwarf, elf, halfling).

It is quite possible that I won't be able to finish all 260 this month, but that won't stop me for trying. Given the numbers, I'll do this year's challenge a bit differently than character per day.

First I'll generate 20 ability score sets (3d6 in order). Then I'll generate names, appearance, and traits. Then I'll equip them (1/3 spent on armour, adventuring gear, leave at least 5 gp).

Resources I'll be using are:

• Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised as main rulebook.
• Hyborian Names generator to create human names (Aquilonian for Lawful, Cimerian for Neutral, and Stygian for Chaotic); Apocrypha 2: Chart of Darkness for elven names; Dwarfs: Stone and Steel for dwarven names; and I'll call all halflings Bilbo.
• Height and weight chart by spurious for height and weight and Arduin Grimoire for unique physical appearance.
• d1000 NPC Traits to generate 2d3 traits.

LibreOffice Calc and Inspiration Pad Pro (command line version) will be my digital tools of choice. In fact, I think most of my time this week will go on automating many of the rolls above so I can focus on the characters!
