    Fantasy RPGs that do things... different?

    I haven't playe dit myself, but if you want something that is mechnically very different to D&D, you could take a look at HeroQuest.

    Heavy ... Thanks for the thread tools tip - I can read in comfort again. :)

    The Friday Knights in Thunderspire Labyrinth (with Pics).

    Entertaining as always Goonalan - I've read a few storyhours with KotS and it's interesting to see a slightly different spin. Hope you can get the pictures sorted out though - reading the text is a pain at the moment. And I have to ask - afte rthey'd lost the fight at the inn, were the thugs...

    The Friday Knights in Thunderspire Labyrinth (with Pics).

    I am now expecting a kobold (or other beastie) called Dukla Prague to appear (in his away kit of course) :D

    The Friday Knights in Thunderspire Labyrinth (with Pics).

    Hi Goonalan I'm still here and just caught up. I'm a bit sad to see you go to the shorter format - not that I haven't enjoyed the later posts, far from it, but just because it's only been two-thirds of a page of fun, rather than about ten! Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate your selfish...

    T1: The Village of Hommlet - why are the PCs there?

    It's 30-odd years ago!!! You expect me to remember why we went to moathouse? .... I remember those bloody giant frogs though ... and large snake that took me down to zero HP. I also remember twking out two guards with two shots of my bow in a single round - at first level!

    A Rose In The Wind: A Saga of the Halmae -- Updated June 19, 2014

    Don't now how I missed this until now, as I read and enjoyed the other Halmae story. Anyway, I've read through and caught up over the last couple of days - fantastic stuff; kudos to all involved (but especially Fajitas and Iilex:D). Looking forward to more ...

    How did you play back in the day? - forked from Q's Leveling Comparisons

    Well my oD&D and 1e experience amounted to something like 10 years so it's a bit difficult to sum up in one "button". I started out primarily with mega-dungeons (complete with "No entry construction still in progress" signs), but we later moved on to more coherent game worlds. They were more...

    Familiar with the mega-dungeon?

    I started in 1977 with OD&D (white box plus the Greyhawk supplement) which my brother bought for my birthday, having himself encountered the game at university. I certainly started with multi-layered dungeons, both because that what's my brother's experience was and because it seemed to me to...

    Alternatives to D&D

    In terms of fairly generic fantasy alternatives to D&D: Others have already mentioned Warhammer FRPG - although the status of the 2nd edition seems to be in some doubt - there are rumours that Fantasy Flight is developing a 3rd edition. Mongoose is churning out a steady stream of supplements...

    Lovely stuff Goonalan. Keep it coming.

    The Friday Knights in Thunderspire Labyrinth (with Pics).

    Excellent update! It just proves the old D&D truism - there are no problems that can't be solved with a large axe ... including intricate and complex traps.:)

    The Friday Knights in Thunderspire Labyrinth (with Pics).

    No - I have no knowledge of, or connection with, anyone living in Grimsby. And as far as I'm aware my brother lives in Reading. (Unless I'm lying ;)).

    The Friday Knights in Thunderspire Labyrinth (with Pics).

    Absolutely stonkingly fantastic stuff, Goonalan. Glad to see whacky things are still going on in Grimsby. :) Somehow I missed the start of this thread or I'd have been by to comment earlier - only noticed it when you posted the last update to the castle Whiterock story. Anyway, keep up the...

    Al-Qarin: Into the Desert (3-1-24)

    Owww! Great fight, but a bummer of an outcome :.-( :confused: But we're talking D&D PCs here ... turn down a fight? Never! :D Looking forward to more.
