Now you have to specify "good old-fashioned" to get the warm fuzzies.Bansheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594214770417497135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-88884918021757455262009-05-14T14:01:00.000-04:002009-05-14T14:01:00.000-04:00There's tons of support material on the German...There's tons of support material on the German site (dragonslayers.de) if you've got the language skillz. A 3.5 update of the rules (haven't looked at what's different yet), 5 more Dungeons 2 Go, weapon & armor supplement, firearms rules, and a lot more. Sadly the "Map Pack" that looked very exciting turned out to be three sheets of blank graph paper with different textures :/<br /><br />Looks like this system is being enthusiastically supported in its native tongue.Rafialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077298546098373938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-39726585580715071872009-05-14T12:23:00.000-04:002009-05-14T12:23:00.000-04:00I looked this over a while back and I've got to sa...I looked this over a while back and I've got to say that I think I'm glad I didn't discover Dungeonslayers before I discovered the retro-clones. I may very well have gone with Dungeonslayers.<br /><br />There's a lot there mechanically that I don't really care for, but it is simple and straightforward and open enough to allow all the old-schooling you could want.<br /><br />I'll be sticking with the retro-clones, and anyone I introduce to the hobby will be introduced to the retro-clones. But Dungeonslayers does look like it's got a lot of potential for the sort of gaming that I prefer. Many of the newer-version games don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-16675239882250600982009-05-14T07:18:00.000-04:002009-05-14T07:18:00.000-04:00I have to agree with Timeshadows that it was a ver...I have to agree with Timeshadows that it was a very fair review. <br /><br />And as the person who did the bulk of the translation I can tell you it wasn't as easy as I first thought and although we had a couple of native speakers to help us, a few strange translations sneaked into the final version.<br />And you may "thank" me for the spell's cooldown. Alas I just couldn't come up with a better translation.<br /><br />By the way, Christian recently released another 1-page adventure and a basic gamemaster screen on the DS site, you may want to check out.Michael "Stargazer" Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610521675696428012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-67124373975379922052009-05-13T21:39:00.000-04:002009-05-13T21:39:00.000-04:00A very fair review, I think.
