I try not to make unfounded/unsourced claims in message board posts.

It was similar to Dark Tower. The board had a map of a dungeon. The players (tan fighter, paladin, wizard, rogue) and monsters (green orcs, brown ogres) had bases with numbers on them. There was a slot on the base that revealed a number; as you took damage, you turned the base, revealing decreasing numbers.The game had plastic treasure chests with gold weapons. And I think a grey plastic "final battle" area, with a dark brown scorpion-tailed lion monster thing.Argh.. can't remember the name. It wasn't Dragon Quest, Warhammer Quest, Talisman, or Dark Tower. Anyone have any links to a fantasy board game site?-zPS: The bases were cylinders, with a seperate ridged bottom. You held the cylinder and rotated the bottom (as opposed to Wizkids, where you normally hold the base and rotate the inside).PSS: It had a wraith-like figure called "The Howler" that could randomly strike and move your figure backward. I still use that figure, as a Banshee in my Undead army for Warhammer. Yeah, TMI.PSSS: the cover had a picture of the Conan-like barbarian fighting off the lion/scorpion thing--it was clawing his leg and shooting a laser from its tail. A knight with a mustache and open-faced, winged great helm was in the foreground. A snakeman wizard was in the background--he was the BBEG. Argh! This is going to bother me the rest of the day. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
