In each one up to four players could take the role of a character from a predefined set of classes. These gamebooks were very different from the ones I had.
In fact, soon I’ll write a blog post on how my close friends and I resurrected the nice tradition of playing DnD regularly and how this helped me as a game dev.īack in the day the thing that came the closest to an RPG were the Bloodsword gamebooks by Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson (subsequently I found Jamie Thomson was involved too). The jump from gamebooks to pen’n’paper RPGs felt like a natural evolution. And all because one of the players happened to spot the symbol for ruins in a corner of the map. Soon they’re ready to set out on a new expedition. Another considers the supplies the party will need. One of the players has the sea captain skill, and he plots a course. ‘Many claim it’s the stronghold of the legendary hero Hrugga – though that’s surely just a myth.’ Even as the Coke cans fizz and the bag of tortilla chips is being popped open, somebody looks at the mapĪnd says, ‘I hear there’s an abandoned fortress out on the tidal flats.’

Pondering how to tackle this subject, I turn for guidance to my favorite quote from Dave Morris’s Fabled Lands blog:

Kidreyli took hold of the grip, and the magics brought forth by her words and actions sealed the spell for all time. Her mother turned the sword and held the hilt toward her. With her finger, she connected the drops of blood, forming a red line down the center of the blade while she recited the words, “The first blood you take belongs to my heart, and it is my heart to which you are now eternally bound.” She placed five drops equidistant along the blade, from the guard to the point. Kidreyli gently touched her right wrist to the point of the blade, just enough to allow a small seepage of her blood. Standing by her side under the shade of a great oak was her best friend, Nidreyka, and before her stood her mother, holding the sword out flat before her, flanked by her mother’s mate, Suliya. In her fifteenth year, Kidreyli received her sword in the ritual known as Deflawny. The engravings on the pommel called forth for strength, wisdom and protection to surround she who carried it. The tiny Moon of Chalal, that scoots across the sky so quickly, is represented by a crescent engraved on the blade. Its pommel reflected the images of the golden Moon of Tria and the silver Moon of Talera, majestic orbs that feature prominently in the sky. From this place a blade was born, strong as any ever known, engraved with the three crossed arrows which signify that its master is recognized as a warrior by her people. Talenyan, mother of Kidreyli, searched long for a great forge from which her daughter’s sword could be had, and such a forge she had found in a land far to the south. And true swords are alive, as they are forged from the bones of the earth by the spirit of the smith, a magical master of the elemental forces of creation.
