Somewhere #9 Somerandomdude, Feb 7, 2010 This. I have Firetop Mountain and I tested this, and this is way better. Better dice, no annoying labyrinth mazes, great storytelling... it's worth the money, trust me. djflippy Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2009 4,441 0 36 #10 djflippy, Feb 7, 2010 Obviously a killer idea and the implementation looks great, which I've come to expect from Tin Man Games. Can't wait...although, I've proven that I can, since I've been waiting since the front page article dropped.

Just seems to me like if I want to play a game I'd rather play a game. And if I want to read a book I'd rather read a book. That said, I'm curious about whether there's something I'm missing, and wouldn't mind at all trying this out. Is there any chance of a lite? goiMot Well-Known Member Oct 21, 2009 5,079 0 0 Physician #20 goiMot, Feb 8, 2010 out in US and Canada! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
