Re: TFT Books We'd Like to See
Your poll should allow for more than one option to be picked.
While I certainly have a first choice, it's not the only thing is like to see. |

Re: TFT Books We'd Like to See
Bestiary gets my vote, but after that, the mass combat thing is my number one priority.
I'd also like to see rules for naval engagements (more than two or three ships -- mass combat at sea) and good, well developed rules for mounted and aerial combat (we've got some basics now, but I think there's room for improvement and more detail there). |

Re: TFT Books We'd Like to See
So, on adventures, I'd like some more programmed adventures. Really, you know what would be neat is a huge programed wilderness adventure core map with about a dozen sub adventures. Something epic. Yeah it's huge but it could be broken down into the core outdoor map and individual instances.
A treasure guide would be nice. In The Labyrinth doesn't really have guidelines for what should be in a treasure as far as I can see, though I got the book Tuesday and am still absorbing it. I'd also like miniatures, particularly the Metal Magic ones I remember being advertised in the day. Sorry, can't get through one post without mentioning miniatures. (1 point flaw)

What would be nice would be a deck you could shuffle in of characters who each have one ordinary sort of magic item, that they've then worked into an awesome shtik. Like say a small sailboat with slippery floor enchantment to let it sail overland.

Re: TFT Books We'd Like to See
A big solo adventure with sufficient branching that it has lots of replay value would be pretty cool, indeed.
Decks of cards, while they might be neat, are not books. |

There are way more cards than one would need for even an unreasonably long dungeon crawl, so I haven't thought of replacing cards, except for Encounters (between rooms) which are discarded when resolved. What's more fun is to label the exits of a room with the numbers of the rooms they lead to. It's like numbered paragraphs without the pesky intersections. The downside is that I'd need to actually design an adventure, and render it in card form, and that takes more time than I have these days. :/ Maybe in a month or so it will be polished enough to share. |

Re: TFT Books We'd Like to See
Illuminati style maps. Indicate a free arrow on the current map and draw a card to place there. When you return to a cleared out room (or stop to rest for 15 minutes in a resolved room) then roll a die and on a six draw an encounter card.
Once you've reached six rooms in roll a die for each room added and on a 6 place an objective card instead of an ordinary room card. Resolve the objective (only one per dungeon) and escape with the goodies. Also place one of the six random objectives if you run out of ordinary room cards. ----- What could help players would be a book of adventurers with common options worked out: Human Hero Knight Nancy Gale ST 9, DX 12, IQ 11, MA 10 Very fine rapier(1d+2+1), Main-Gauche(parry 1+2 hits) Acrobatics, Acute Hearing, Courtly Graces, Dancer(mundane), Fencer, Knife, Literacy, Sword Middle Class clothing, $130 in other goods. Option 1: Move up to five hexes and attack with rapier at adjDX 12 for 1d+3 damage. -1 DX to be hit and Main-Gauche stops 3 hits from each melee attack. Option 2: Move up to five hexes and shrew attack with rapier at adjDX 8 for 2d+3 damage. -1 DX to be hit and Main-Gauche stops 3 hits from each melee attack. Option 3: Move up to five hexes (or shift if already engaged) and parry with both weapons. Melee attacks need to roll five dice to hit at -1 DX and the double parry stops five hits from each successful attack. Option 4: Attack in HTH with Main-Gauche at adjDX 16 doing 1d damage. Option 5: Head attack in HTH with Main-Gauche at adjDX 10 doing 1d doubled damage that ignores target's armor protection.

One way I've determined the difficulty is length of the adventure. More rooms, opponents, and traps, etc, the more difficult, so... My deck can be played with a map or mapless. In map mode, you difficulty is handled by map size. One scenario is to assume the exit is either a one-way Gate or otherwise inaccessible and you must explore to find the exit. The other is to be able to retreat back to civilization whenever you determine your group has had enough. In mapless mode, you keep drawing rooms and defeating them until you draw a card that has "Possible Trap or Exit". In map mode this indicates the room has a trap, in mapless, it's the exit. You can have (in my room deck) 1, 2, or 3 of these cards. In either deck, some rooms are non-threatening (read: empty, or weenie treasure, something of that nature).
