SPI John Carter had a clever random encounter table. It was for meeting an ally character from the book series. The table ensured that the ally tended to be one who lived in the city-state closest to John Carter's current location. The random encounter table for ally characters sounds like SPI John Carter could be adapted to a Lords of Midnight or The Hobbit style CRPG. Instead of true random encounters, the allies could move about the map doing their own thing. @isaackuo @nyrath @FredKiesche @deinol I regret not springing for the SPI barsoon game back in the day. Now . . . even if I had it, I'm not sure if I'd ever get around to playing it. Which is why I decided not to get the Voyage of the Pandora re-release. It is saddening that a whole class of clever games has become . . . obsolete? Terminally niche? @StefanEJones @isaackuo @nyrath @FredKiesche @deinol @StefanEJones @isaackuo @nyrath @FredKiesche @deinol @StefanEJones @isaackuo @FredKiesche @deinol Some great #TTWG games I have, which I know I am probably never going to play again, I am gifting to my young teenager great-nephew. Because [1] He is the closest thing I have to a son or grandson @nyrath @StefanEJones @isaackuo @deinol Given the designer, Iβm surprised it hasnβt been reprinted. So I assume itβs due to $$$ for any names/creatures still covered by copyright. |
@nyrath @deinol And Heritage Models had a rules set to go with their miniatures. And SPI did a strategic game with some very tactical elements.
