So I'm poking around the interwebs this evening and come across this free little pdf called Claw’s Carvery issue one ,
its Sword and Wizardry retroclone fanzine pdf of some pretty
interesting retro style adventure and old school resources.
The pdf is twenty pages long and is a nice little mix of stuff. I've looking through a ton of B/X material on the interwebs and then I remembered this wonderful fanzine.

According to the blog:
Ingredients:
- Mini-adventures! – Tomb of the Mantis Khan and Ynys Bach
- Magic items! – Flute of the Forest and Prebasang’s Melancholy Marionette
- Random tables! – Villainous cognomens and drifting vessels (expanded)
- Old Norse gubbins! – Grim Aegir and duelling rules for Norse campaigns
- OGL! – Everything is statted for the Swords & Wizardry Core Rules.
20+ pages of reheated giblets. You’re welcome!
Overall this
is a nice little mix of stuff for B/X style D&D with some gonzo
stuff throw into the background. Not too bad at all and its free.
There's some pretty solid stuff that can easily be used for a wide
variety of OD&D style games.
Now yesterday I wrote about a science fantasy setting well tonight I'm dealing with something sort of closer to a kitchen sink approach of a fanzine with a little sprinkle of everything to spark off a campaign. Many of these resources are perfect for a more Eurocentric styled sword and sorcery campaign. They fit in neatly into either a Basic or Expert set up for a campaign but I'm leaning more towards the Expert side of the D&D equation.
There's plenty of items here to spark the imagination & get the ball rolling on an old school campaign. I really enjoyed this fanzine and it was nice to revisit it last night. I hope you have fun with it and be sure to visit the Lost In Time blog and the author who made this possible.
