The website is going to be changing around Feb 1st (though that date isn't fixed). This change is actually going to be rather dramatic. There are few technical reasons behind the change as well as some social reasons. The end results at this point are that the wiki is going to be blown away. It's not really being used it's taking up a ridiculous amount of space. The forum also is going to be changing. There's a licensing issue with the current product (it's several versions behind), I'm not a fan of the newer versions and don't feel like paying for a package I don't like. The end goal of this project though is to revamp the site into a more dynamic and flowing site that better highlights current information and interest. For more information and if you want to voice any opinions please post them in the forum

Hardboiled sword & sorcery-it's Conan seeking for the Maltese Falcon, it's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in the Big Sleep, set in Lankhmar, it's hardboiled crime fiction in the worlds of sword & sorcery.

It's Sword Noir.

Inspired by mashing up the novels and stories of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Robert E Howard, and Fritz Leiber, Sword Noir: A Role-Playing Game of Hardboiled Sword & Sorcery is a new RPG from Sword's Edge Publishing. In it, characters' morals are shifting at best and absent at worst. The atmosphere is dark and hope is frail or completely absent. Violence is deadly and fast. Trust is the most valued of commodities-life is the cheapest. Grim leaders weave labyrinthine plots which entangle innocents. Magic exists and can be powerful, but it takes extreme dedication to learn, extorts a horrible price, and is slow to conjure.

Now is the time for your characters to walk down mean streets, drenched in rain, hidden in fog, and unravel mysteries, murders, and villainy.
