Trista had never played tabletop Dungeons & Dragons before, so I recently dusted off some old skills and ran a little four player game for her.
I never learned modern 5e rules, and I wanted to keep it simple, so I initially considered going full retro with the original Little Brown Book rules. That was a little too crude, so I wound up with the Rules Cyclopedia version, harkening back to my D&D basic set in the late 70s.
The big change from my old games is that Trista and the other players were already skilled Warhammer figure painters, which meant everyone painted their own figure and they collaborated to give me a full menagerie of painted monsters for the game. The expense of lead miniatures and lack of art talent in my early gaming groups had always meant unpainted player characters and cardboard chits for the monsters.
I had a little bit of a bias towards “it is a game of imagination!”, but visual aids are good, actually.
Everyone had fun, and I may be on the hook for doing this once a quarter.
There is nothing quite like Darklands; no surprise, since there was no developer quite like Arnold Hendrick.
Darklands does brilliant things with scope, scale, and depth that bring to life a folkloric dark-age Germany that never was. You can see Barbarian Prince and Pirates! in its DNA, but it takes those games' loops in a far more ambitious direction. Daring, daunting, and haunting, it's a game that has stuck with me since childhood, having a great influence of Fallen Gods. Its 100+ page manual alone is amazing, especially for its bibliography ("The single best source of medieval German map information is the Grosser Historischer Weltaltlas...").
I know I'm not the only one to get lost in this world!
