The system is spread across the six books. DW was probably better known in the UK and Australia than in the States, but nonetheless it's still a cool little RPG that could use more exposure. In this writeup, we'll be covering the original six books by Corgi, not the newer edition by Mongoose/Flaming Cobra/Serpent King/whoever the fuck publishes it now. Also, if you have the newer edition, pay attention to the skull.ĭragon Warriors (no relation to the console games) is a British RPG from the mid-eighties, set in the same world as the Blood Sword multiplayer CYOA books. What happened to winged helmets? They used to be all the rage. The trade goods also come from Traveller.Īnd, since InShaneee already got to Delta Green, this frees me to do: The default Commander name in Elite was the name of the sample character in the chargen section. In the end, it goes back on its promise to deliver anything legendary, and you're left with a sad iron blade in need of an upgrade.That really makes me think of the Elite games. The app tries to alleviate the boredom with resource-collecting "events" (where you fight the same monsters again and again) and the chance to attack other players and steal their resources, but it's just not enough.
You can of course, spend a hefty amount of money to force things along, but it's hard to say just how long it'll be before you run into another raised drawbridge. That means after an hour or so, you're stuck, unable to move the story along or do anything new. Battle rewards are random, which means it takes a long time to get exactly what you need for the upgrade, and even when you do, you might not have enough gold to make it happen. Unfortunately, the only way to do that is to collect gold and resources by repeatedly replaying battles you've already won. Having invited you into the Campaign with its noble main character and well-handled combat, Iron Blade: Medieval Legneds RPG pulls up the drawbridge, refusing to let you in 'til you've upgraded your gear umpteen times. Instead, the developers chose to make players pay for progress rather than things they might actually enjoy, and the result is a feeling of resentment that gets stronger each time you play. With its medieval settings and interesting storyline, this could have been a truly great RPG if not for the tedium built into it.
