Made a few more updates to the Winterwold Players' Handbook (and the less-setting-specific Ancient Red Wyrm PHB). Including specializations for Fighters, plus rules additions regarding casting and assistance during grappling.

@Robgoblin
This got me thinking about counterspelling in D&D type games again in a serious way. It's something I've been picking away at for years, but never quite codified how all the parts fit.

Counterspells

Ancient Red Wyrm - Lineages

I'm mostly done with the advanced edition handbook for ARW. It's pretty much the same as the original book, but with a bunch of extra optional lineages (fantasy "races").

These are roughly compatible with other OSR/NSR fantasy games, though made with more emphasis on flavor than mechanical balance. A bunch are probably be somewhat familiar, though some less so.

Might share a few here.

Ancient Red Wyrm - Revisions

A few updates to the base rules of my fantasy heartbreaker homebrew (what Winterwold is mostly based on). Things I've been meaning to do for awhile.

Many small tweaks. Only major changes are:

* Addition of the Adept class (Sorcerer-ish)

* The patrons and spirits from Winterwold as a suggested pantheon in case the GM doesn't have anything else in mind.
