It's a very condensed version of the earliest editions of The World's First Fantasy Roleplaying Game. The original Swords & Wizardry Light is free, four pages, and allows you to play the game as one of the four basic character classes from levels 1-3. SWCL raises that level cap to seven and adds some more variant classes. Add a few D20s and D6s for the Game Master and players and you have in this tiny volume everything you need for a nice, long fantasy campaign. It's based on the Swords and Wizardy core rules, so any adventure or expansion that works with standard S&W is easily used for SWCL.I totally dig this game- it's the original 1974 RPG boiled down to basics, with the benefit of 44 years of hindsight. When you need a fast pick-up game for a single evening, there's not a lot that can beat SWCL, and the best part is there's enough here to turn that one-shot into a full campaign if you wish.My sole issue is that some of the additional classes are a teeny bit front-loaded resulting in 1st Level characters with widely differing power levels. This balances out over time by the additional classes taking more adventures to level up than the standard four classes, but in a one-shot some of the extra classes are noticeably more powerful than the classic four. But then, this is 1970s rules, game balance wasn't really a thing back then!So, pick up a copy of this game. Then go out (Google is your friend) and find the PDF of the character cards and the basic Swords & Wizardry Light rules. Score some twenty-sided and six-sided dice here on Amazon. Grab friends, grab pizza, and slay some orcs. It's that simple. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars The idea of the book seems awesome, I love minimalist RPG systems *by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018* The idea of the book seems awesome, I love minimalist RPG systems, but there are many points where this one blatantly lacks clarity and explanation. I'm not saying that comparing it to 5e, I am saying that comparing it to Microlite20 and other OSR products. I don't regret the purchase, I just don't see myself buying another copy until there is more clarity and the prominent typos are fixed (such as sentences ending abruptly midway through). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A great beginning place for gaming *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017* While this is a subcompact, stripped down role-playing game perfect for pick-up games among either out of practice or inexperienced gamers, it has some genuinely wonderful optional builds for alternative classes besides the classic four of cleric, fighter, magic-user, and thief, and material for other Old School Renaissance games is easily compatible. If you like this and wannt to move on to Swords & Wizardry Complete, that is something easily done. It doesn't hurt that the art has got that feel of Swords and Sorcery games of the seventies and eighties. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48378454-swords-and-wizardry-continual-light-paperback-october-19-2017](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48378454-swords-and-wizardry-continual-light-paperback-october-19-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
