Goblinquest - sample quest available
« on: 28 February 2013, 03:37:02 PM »



With a young king intoxicated by the ideals of chivalry, brave knights undertake daring adventures throughout the darker places of the kingdom. Sharp swords and well-forged armour protect them, and solemn vows keep them dedicated to their goal. Dare you take up the challenge of such a quest?

After months of tinkering, I’ve finally got my dungeoncrawl rules to the point where they are ready for sharing, and I’d like to share them with you. I wrote them specifically to introduce my five year old into gaming with me, and with the idea that a bright eight year old could DM (or be the Minstrel, in Goblinquest terms), so the mechanisms are simple. Simple without, I hope, being simplistic.

It is designed to be played on a square-tiled grid (think D&D tiles, dwarvenforge, Inked Adventures tiles, space hulk...) and I hope to have a sample adventure up for download at some point over the weekend.

You can download the draft rules, character cards, and some sample item cards from my blog, >here<

If you fancy a bit of old school dungeoneering (and who doesn't?) why not give them a go? Oh, and please give me some feedback on how it goes for you so as I can make them even better!

Cheers,
Rab

I have just downloaded them.

Only had a cursory glance so far but I reckon they could be a lot of fun for me and my 8 year old daughter.

Thanks :)

Ooh, I shall download/peruse/play test with my 6 year old son.  He loves Heroquest(tm) so I'm sure he'll love these.
Thanks, in advance of use, for sharing!
Smile!  It's not that bad!

I've knocked up a Draft Quest for you all to have a bash at. Download it from here, or from my blog as normal. Enjoy!

Thank you so much Rab. I just downloaded both and will read them soon, I hope to have as much fun with my kids (when I have some) as you are having; watching you and your children play together is very inspiring.


Cheers,

Thank you, Damien, we're certainly having fun  :D

Of course, you could treat it as a beer'n'pretzels game; it isn't compulsory for kids to take part in every game of Goblinquest  lol

Played goblinquest with my eldest Sunday before bath time. We had a blast, I'll post a battle report later when I get the time. Well worth a look.
