I only had the chance to play it once or twice, and found it quite interesting but limiting in its one-sided nature (i.e. it chaffed that I was forced to play a character of "good alignment").<br /><br />A couple-four years back, I purchased DragonRaid direct from the publisher, just to check it out again. I believe it comes with a CD now, rather than a cassette tape. It is a fascinating game, well-designed for its objectives, and quite creative at marrying its world building to its system. It also (to me) seems to be the precursor to many later, celebrated design mechanics (like Pendragon's system of "virtues").<br /><br />*sigh* One of these days I'll get around to writing a full review of the thing on Ye Old Blog.

I remember the old ads in Dragon and I was always curious about the game. I was afraid to get it because I believed it would just turn into a running joke and I might wind up feeling ripped off. I too was pleasantly surprised at the overall dedication and quality of DragonRaid. I will be doing a read through and character creation for the game at some point.Charlie Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899037807693796298noreply@blogger.com
