It always seemed to be about great adventures not great big piles of rules.

Well said - if I can't summarize the rules on a sheet of A4 I really don't want to know!

I'd second that!

Great boards.
I seem to remember getting eaten by a T-Rex on that island, in my youth, 20 years ago.
I still play DnD every wednesday night. Now ADnD and the amount of rules books have got really out of hand. We still play with the second edition rules with all the complete fighter books etc. Instead of the original two DnD books we now have about twenty.

Those adventures were included???

What a rip-off here in Germany! We had to buy them seperately. And Thanks to a bring and buy at Bj?rns Do or Dice this year I managed to get my copy of Keep on the borderland after - what? - 25 year or so!

I sold loads of my D&D stuff a few years ago, but have buying a few bits back from Paizo in PDF format recently. At $5 a pop that's pretty good value IMHO.

No differences in the two besides covers. It was a general "we can do better art" thing.

Uti: Wow, those boards make me want to go back and play that again.

I've been setting up the boards for Saturday. Some new pics of act three 'Shipwrecked'. Apologies for the quality it's too dark and there's not enough room to get around the board in the spare room! Hopefully I'll get better pics on Friday.

After escaping the Sargasso, the party's ship is wrecked by a storm. They wash-up on a beach surrounded by dense jungle. But they are not alone...

Yeah, I'm that guy. But how did the mini game turn out?

Cheers Hitman!

Zeb - The game went really well - but I mis-timed things completely, so we never got to the beach! The next game is now October - so a while before they actually reach landfall... :(
