I sit down to share my thoughts on the Swords & Wizardry Complete Box Set from Frog God Games. The set contains four booklets, dice, a pad of character sheets, and a bookmark for an MSRP of $59.95. Is this an excellent collectors’ edition of the popular OD&D retroclone? Or will you feel like a complete fool if you purchase the Complete Box Set? You’ll find out!

Summary
Swords & Wizardry is one of my absolutely favorite old school renaissance RPG retroclones and this boxed set is a nice collectors item. I really didn't see any new additions to S&W, outside of the fresh artwork, from the previous single volume. I do have to say that the dice set included didn't have a d6 and some of the artwork is really uneven. Regardless, if you don't already own the rulebook, or are looking for a nice collector item, I can highly recommend the box set.
