Target 20 for Swords & Wizardry


I've not yet played Swords & Wizardry, but I've dug through a number of S&W scenarios. Despite not having played it, I really appreciate it. I like that it has three different rules-incarnations for the various OD&D incarnations (despite splitting race and class) and that it can easily be adjusted to match most anything for OSR play. Flexibility and ease of house-ruling is all of what the game is about.
I also like Target 20. It's become my favorite AC system. I did a search for Target 20 and Swords and Wizardry and didn't manage to find anything. So I decided to make Target 20 chats for the three different versions of Swords and Wizardry. I discovered (after I'd finished all three tables) that the Core and Complete Rules attack progressions were the same. Anyway, I hope that this will serve useful for folks curious to combine attack bonuses and descending AC in their Swords and Wizardry games.
