I've been thinking about picking up S&S because of the attractiveness of its unique tie to Chainmail along with the recommendations of James Raggi and James Maliszewski, but I have some niggling issues, most of which were brought up in the review (e.g., the use of percentiles for Thief skills, the disjointed artwork, etc.), that have dissuaded me from doing so.
I've considered C&C to be my go to version of D&D since that game's 2nd printing was released, but I've been wowed by Matt Finch's work on S&W, which has inspired me to set to work on a new West Marches style game. That gives me plenty to keep me busy for the time being, so I'll wait until that revised edition of S&S is made available before dropping my cash on a hard copy.
Keep up the good work, Jason!
