Remember this post?
Yesterday I received a birthday box from my brother, and inside I found the following 3 books:
I was astounded. Not only had I wanted these for a long time, I had never actually laid eyes on any of them, so my feelings were akin to those of Carter after finding Tutankhamun’s tomb!
Thanks big brother, for such a wonderful gift!
FF 55 and 56 are both in superb condition (given they are > 15 years old) with clean character sheets and minimal cover marking. Deathmoor is a 400 entry standard FF adventure in which you must compete against a ‘deadly rival’ to save a princess. The art is by Russ Nicholson (always a plus) and the rules do not deviate from the usual. Knights Of Doom (also 400 entries) seems more ambitious, with numerous additional rules (time, many different skills, honour) and dark, moody art by Tony Hough. Love the purple cover as well! I’m looking forward to reading/playing each.
Allansia is the 3rd (or fifth, depending on how you look at it) and last rulebook for the FF role playing game. Where Dungeoneer and Blacksand described dungeon and town adventures respectively, Allansia details wilderness adventures. A peek through the 320-odd pages of rules reveals such gems as a wandering monster table (rolling 3 with 3d6 results in a Brontosaurus) and rules for non-humans (Centaurs for instance cannot use the ride skill but can communicate freely with horses).
Great stuff 🙂
Now there is only one FF book left to get before my collection is complete! Guess what I’ll be looking for in every used bookstore in England…
