Quick Reference Cards for Swords & Wizardry

Overview

This is a series of printed (or PDF) aids that I use to help players to quickly generate characters for Swords & Wizardry Complete by Frog God Games. This aid is in the form of printed cards or tiles. There is an initial card that you hand the player that outlines how the character generation process works. From there, the players pick a class, a background, and buy equipment using the individual cards as a reference to fill out their character sheet. 

I have refined these cards  over the past decade while running convention and game store sessions and found that it will allow a player to completely generate a character within 15 to 20 minutes. 

These cards contain all of the information needed for assassins, clerics, druids, fighters, magic-users, monks, paladins, rangers, and thieves, for level 1 to 6. On the back of each class card is an equipment list.

The Print Option

It is more cost effective to get the PDF only version and print off as many cards you need using your printer. All you need is letter sized cardstock from your local store.

However I made a print version using 8” by 10” coated stock. They are quite sturdy and appear to be resistant to spills and stains. The printed version has 32 cards that support up to 5 players generating characters. 

These cards are broken down as follows.

  • Five common reference cards with spell listings on the back.
  • Five class summary cards with race summaries on the back.
  • Three cards each for clerics, fighters, magic-users, and thieves with an equipment list printed on the back. 
  • Two cards each for assassins, druids, monks, paladins, and rangers with an equipment list printed on the back.

Do these printed cards include attack charts and other GM information or are they all for classes, races, and spells?

No, they are for quick character generation. I figure folks would have access to a referee screen after play commences.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
