Since I haven't finished the next installment of the "Commercialization of the Old School" series, and won't have a chance to today - weekends are family time - I've cut and pasted my "catalogue" of Swords & Wizardry resources, with everything from the rules to third-party zines to blogs that focus mainly on S&W materials. I apologize if the fonts or spacing happen to be ragged - I haven't quite mastered the art of making a blog entry look nice. Corrections and additions are very welcome!

http://www.talesofthefroggod.com/index.php/products/fane-of-the-fallen
...these creatures are the so-called “demonkindred,” isolated in their city of Novgorod beneath the shadow of its brooding fortress, waiting for the day in which they will one day have the opportunity to retake power. Even more, they lust for the return of their demonic powers, the birthright that they think has been denied to them. And now, in the form of promises, that hope has been given to them. The hidden city of Novgorod has begun to stir, a beast awakened by its long-denied hopes. The lust to return to their ancient status has been awakened by a demon princess who understands the deepest nature of lust, and knows how to shape its form to her own desires, for she is a succubus of ancient power. She is the demon-courtesan Medibha, just spreading her wings as a lord of demonic power, playing the first moves in the game of demon politics....
