>DnD fluff changes
I am unfamiliar with Fighting Fantasy, but I wanted to thank you for not making yet another thread screeching about War-shit lore-shit that has nothing to do with the game.
It's nice to see a variety of thread content on the board that's supposed to be about the variety of tabletop games, not just hundreds of threads about one or two.
Anyway, what can you tell me about Grail Quest? I'd love to hear about it.
It's a single player rpg book from the 80s. The tone is more light hearted and the combat is easier than other gamebooks from that time but I had tons of fun mapping out the castle on a piece of notebook paper so it's one of my favorites.
You can play it for free here:

I shall note this particular URL down for future use.
Excellent.
Thanks a lot!
I'ld say, it's a very complicated matter.
Most of the grogs here have spent close to half a grand+ on Warhammer armies and so they. themselves feel that they have some sort of influence on the game itself, no matter how small. They also see it as "Their" setting, so when major changes happens, they get quite in a tizzy.
fer D&D and Shadowrun on the other hand. the D&D are pretty much whipped into compliance by WotC and Shadowrun treats it's customers like crap.
Might I interest ye in a series of Sword World RPG Replays?
cont.
I have yet to play an actual Fighting Fantasy book..
>Might I interest ye in a series of Sword World RPG Replays
NTA but yes, yes you might. Where could one find such things?

Just came out today.
This looks fun, thank you anon! This is the setting they used in Lodoss War, ain't it?
Setting, I meant system.
yes, the world of Forcelia.
though for Lodoss, the system they used for the original campaigns was Basic D&D, and using expert rules for a later campaign.
it's later they used a homebrew known as the Lodoss Companion RPG, that later on released Sword World RPG.
on this map, that little island on the south part of the map, that's Lodoss.
Interesting. I really like the Lodoss anime and knew it was based on a TTRPG campaign, but I always thought it was Sword World. Nice to know how the game evolved. Are the actual original Lodoss replays available somewhere?
Matter of fact, yes.
but only two of the three campaigns.

You're a true gentleman, anon. Thank you.
Nobody gives a frick about fluff in TTRPGs because they usually just make up their own setting anyway
That sorta depends
DnD sells a system
While Warhammer sells a setting
I can play 5e in my own homebrew world and nothing would seem off
But if I run imperium maledictum in my own setting then it would clash
That’s why Warhammer gays are usually Loregays as well while DnDroids can’t name anything other then the sword coast
The second one is also decent, you explore a abandoned town in the woods instead of a castle but it's easier to die to something stupid so I don't like it as much as the first.
now getting back on topic. Ever since one video I watched, I've gotten a smidge of an interest in Joe Dever's Lone Wolf saga.
I played through the first 13 of these with seventh sense. They were fun but a bit too linear for my taste.
>>DnD fluff changes
did you miss the meltdowns over nuravenloft? they fricked up falkovnia and vlad drakov to unbelievable levels
>DnD fluff changes
>nobody cares
D&D has several settings, so it's not really a big deal especially if you're only play the old editions, wotc ones are garbage.
>Shadowrun fluff changes
>nobody cares
All the Shadowrun players are stuck on previous editions, no one cares about recent ones.
>Warhammer fluff changes
>entire board goes to shit
Obvious, it's a system+setting game where the fanbase is comprised of paypig autistic nerd GW drones, what did you expect?
>Anyways what are your favorite fighting fantasy books? Mines grailquest.
I dunno if this counts, but I remember back before quests were banned there was a quest thread that used Fighting Fantasy or a similar CYOA book.
The only details I can remember was:
1. We had some kind of Lightsaber, called a Sonneswerd. It has the Unique ability to pass itself onto our next of kin. This was convenient because
2. We died a lot.
Can't remember the title for the lofenof me, though.
That sounds like the sommerswerd from lone wolf.
That was it. Lone Wolf. We died, SO FRICKING MUCH, it was hysterical.
