Gold and Glory Science Fantasy PHB

Player's Handbook version 3, now with art.  But, lacking background "watermark" for printing greatness. Also did the OGL thing. Much closer to Swords & Wizardry (formerly Labyrinth Lord). Stripped and simplified bunch of house-rules.  Added thief, assassin and "ranger" classes. Changed "elf" flavor from Viking to Greek. Rewrote bits everywhere. Renamed DM to Referee cause I like subtle connotation of a "ref" vs "master". Other stuff I'm forgetting. Spellchecked!

This is not a complete "game". It is mostly listing of playable character classes and info on houserules and other stuff players might need to know. Many charts and supporting rules are in companion Referee Charts. Both lack spells, monsters, magic items, significant setting details. All of which are available in Swords and Wizardry and a bazillion other sources.
