What is "Donat's Temple" over to the east? Looks kind fo classical. Is "Huldra Castle" to the south just a name; was it built by dwarves, or is it maybe an actual dwarven fortress?<br /><br />What scale are you going to make the hexes?Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-51121208203847980102010-11-25T08:53:11.692-07:002010-11-25T08:53:11.692-07:00Man, I completely forgot about Barbarian Prince! ...Man, I completely forgot about Barbarian Prince! It was a solitaire game and I played it all summer while my friends were on vacation with their families. I even used the included miniature for a D&D character which reached the lofty heights of 15th level fighter.<br /><br />Tough choice for starting your game, though. Either option sounds like great fun.Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-19275136886371048072010-11-24T23:26:01.865-07:002010-11-24T23:26:01.865-07:00I like urban campaigns.

They take a lot of work before play starts, but after a few sessions the scenarios pretty much right themselves.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-80931373817785525862010-11-24T23:04:32.807-07:002010-11-24T23:04:32.807-07:00K-Slacker said...
