25 years ago this week our friends at A Sharp first released
King of Dragon Pass. Originally a boxed CD, it was a truly unique and innovative combination of narrative and strategy games, bringing the mythic world of Glorantha – best known from the
RuneQuest TTRPG – to life on a computer screen.
In the years that followed the game came into its own with the advent of tablets and mobile phones, and today you can download an updated version for iOS, Windows, or Android. Audiences will find the game just as compelling and playable today as then.
Designed by David Dunham, Greg Stafford and Robin D. Laws,
King of Dragon Pass was truly ground-breaking at the time, and has certainly withstood the test of time as numerous
reviews and
retrospectives and
Best Of lists over the years attest.
To mark the 25th anniversary
King of Dragon Pass is currently 55% off at the
App Store and also discounted on
Google Play.
And if you hadn’t heard, its "spiritual successors",
Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind and
Six Ages: Lights Go Out, are also available on Steam, GOG, and the iOS App Store!
On
Greg Stafford's passing in October 2018, 'King of Dragon Pass' and 'Six Ages' creator
David Dunham reflected on the long and productive creative partnership and friendship shared with the original creator of Glorantha.
