Swords and spells was never officially labeled as a supplement for the
D&D game, but it was nonetheless intended as the fantasy successor
to Chainmail. Loved by some as a much needed update and despised by
other as a hastily-produced cash grab, whatever camp you fall in, the
serious D&D collector cannot ignore the presence of this book as an
influence on the early D&D game.
"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

I might not understand what is meant by supplement. Doesn't the cover say, "For use with the Dungeons & Dragons"?
