Dragon Warriors Week Day Seven

……AAaaaaaaaand here we are at the end of Dragon Warriors Week. We’ve looked at how it handles combat and  what made this wonderful, dinky role-playing game so unique. We’ve looked at it’s monsters, it’s magic, it’s maps and it’s puzzles – and we’ve barely scratched the surface of the game.

I’m going to leave you on this last day of Dragon Warriors Week with a list of just some of the things I’ve not covered. Any one of them is a terrific reason to download the game and take it for a spin. Go on. You know you want to.

• Assassins as a base class, complete with player usable Poison rules. Oh yes. They’re the Dragon Warriors uber-class, and work best in solo one-on-one sessions. Y’know – that thing that’s….. uhhh….. difficult in 4e.
• Eighteen complete adventures. Yes, 18, and most are playable in a single session. That’s at least one ready-to-run game session (if you play once a week) for over four months.
• Elementalists – including Darkness Elementalists
• Steath and Perception rules that work, just like in 4e D&D. 23 years ahead of time.
• Warlocks. Also 23 years ahead of time. Assassins + Darkness Elementalist + Warlocks = Dragon Warriors isn’t afraid of evil (or at least morally unconscious) characters
• The Grey Hood, Blue Men, Black Riders and White Ladies!
• Bloodrage!
• Kraken worship!
  
• Nightmare Huts! Pirates! Wreckers! Curses! Diseases!
• Fang Warriors straight out of Jason and the Argonauts!
• Spider Magic!
• THE Temple of Balor! Not just “A” temple, but “THE” Temple!
• The Isle of Albion!
• Crime and punishment rules including percentage chances to bribe a judge.
• Jousting rules!
• ……and much, much more.

Have you geekgasmed yet? I have.
