Tom Miller of the Dragonquest Players Association recently pointed me to
their website, which includes lots of information about the game, as well as links to other
DQ-oriented sites. It's well worth a look if you're a fan of SPI's fantasy RPG or if you're just curious to learn more about another classic old school game.
Wow, I remember trading for a copy of this years ago. Makes me want to unpack it from storage... if I just knew where it was stored.
ReplyDeleteThere's also an occasionally active Yahoo group for DQ at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/dqn-list/
ReplyDeleteI often think about trying to play this game. But everytime I actually try to get through the rules---well, too crunchy for me these days. But soem excelent flavour material.
ReplyDeleteAlso, one should check out the Frotniers of Alusia website that has the game's default setting: [http://www.portalkeepersofgrayrock.com/Alusia/Alusiamap.htm]. A fantastic old-school setting with a alrge, nice map, a few sentences on major locations and that's it. Perfect for those who like just a little something to get them started.
Back in '93 or so I ordered the 3rd edition of Dragonquest with the hopes of giving it a shot with the rest of the group. Well, to make a long story short, it never happened. Although I was eager to give it a try, everybody was so into D&D they wouldn't even consider it. So it sits today in pristine condition in my closet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day...
There is a multi-GM campaign based on DQ that has been running for 25 years in Auckland, NZ.
