I like the counters in LotAW, it is a cheap substitute for minis. But I wish the counters were round, with an arrow pointing "front".<br /><br />I only have The Dark Vale and Wolves on the Rhine. My FLGS is unable to copies of the others for me. I will have to go direct to DCG or buy the rest through their eBay store.<br /><br />I hope they keep publishing their adventures. However, I would like to see them change the format slightly (I will be publishing my review of The Dark Vale shortly).Aaron E.

Also, they have two other TFT clones, one for wild west adventures, and one for sci-fi adventures. If someone is looking for a light version of either of those genres, those free games are worth checking out.Aaron E.

I used to recommend it to anyone, but a few months back someone asked me for a good intro to D&D or D&D-like FRPG, and I was able to point them to the Swords & Wizardry Quickstart instead. The thing about LotAW (or TFT for that matter) is that it might set new players' expectations that all RPGs are played with counters/minis and maps. I'm all for that, but I think I'm in the minority these days.<br /><br />I'm definitely a big fan of DCG's work. I've collected them all and just got the Savage Worlds versions of "Island of Lost Spells" and "Crown of Kings". These solo adventures are a boon to someone like me who still loves TFT, and I simply play them with TFT Melee and Wizard rules.<br /><br />I'm not such a big fan of the LotAW or <i>Time & Space</i> rules themselves. I don't mind "light" at all, but I think they worked a little too hard to get too many rules onto too few pages (remember Metagaming's awful <i>Dragons of Underearth</i>? It's like that).<br /><br />If anything I'd love to see them do one of their 32 page booklets and beef the LotAW system up, essentially a TFT-clone. OTOH, I'm sure the idea has occurred to George, and he would already have done it if he thought there was market for it. And between old copies of TFT, GURPS, and the TFT retro clone <a rel="nofollow">Warrior and Wizard</a>, yet another option is probably unnecessary. I'd do it myself, but I'm more interested in taking the similar mechanics and "pulping them up".Robert Saint Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063044279947754807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-85219517449239937512009-10-24T22:27:39.138-06:002009-10-24T22:27:39.138-06:00Thanks for the link.
