Summary
As a fan of both minimal OSR rule sets and the works of Michael Moorcock, I enjoyed Black Sword Hack. There's plenty of game material packed within without a ton of crunch or fluff; granted some people may not can for a minimal approach. The game nicely build on The Black Hack while relying on it's dark style. I have to say the print on demand is pretty *meh* which brought the review score down; if you plan on only getting the PDF then add a full point to my score!
