Thinking about it the...Glad you like D for Dungeon. Thinking about it the possibilities for expansions to the core rules could be endless - B for Bugbears and Beasties, T for Traps, M for Magic ;)<br /><br />Think I originally read your rules wrong and gave the goblins two go's at each dice level (like your Giant!). As they seemed a bit tough I ended up playing them as intended.<br /><br />The natural 12 is a good idea - I played a great game called Havoc a while back which had the concept of exploding 6's. If you rolled a 6 you got to roll that D6 again and add the score to your total. <br /><br />How about doing something similar - if you roll the highest score for your attack dice you knock your opponent down a dice level and get another attack with the possibility of rolling another exploding 6, 12 or whatever. <br /><br />Rolling a 1 in defence as an instant kill is good too - would that just apply to baddies? Might be a bit sudden for the young'uns to see their character die so suddenly!<br /><br />I'll have a go and see what works if I get time - back to work on Monday though. :(Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542564069442839838.post-6102711985117436402012-11-02T22:24:44.640+00:002012-11-02T22:24:44.640+00:00Hey, that's great you had a go with them. I...Hey, that's great you had a go with them. I'm a happy geek, now :)<br /><br />WRT the dice, that's exactly right; d20-d12-d10-d8-d6-d4-dead, or whatever your starting Max. Dice might be.<br /><br />I was rethinking missile weapons and wondered about allowing a natural 12 (or whatever the top score a missile weapon can get is) might knock down two dice levels? Or perhaps even if missile attack is maximum, and defence is a 1 then an instant kill? For little 'uns I don't want to introduce exceptions to the main ideas if at all possible, but I'm going to continue pondering. Let me know if you try either of those and how it goes.<br /><br />"D for Dungeon" might work...Rabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066364524817373862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542564069442839838.post-16938339348428914862012-11-02T18:45:16.609+00:002012-11-02T18:45:16.609+00:00Good to hear the boys were keen to tread the depth...Good to hear the boys were keen to tread the depths again! <br /><br />Can I just clarify the rules again - had a bash with them with my lad the other day (he also didn't show much awareness of the dangers of splitting his force!). Each time you lose a round in combat you go down a dice level - e.g. D12 down to D10 and so on until you reach D4 and death?<br /><br />Does this mean the crossbow never kills an opponent outright unless they're on their last legs, just knocking them down a dice level if the attack is successful. Love the range rules by the way.<br /><br />As for names, what about Dungeons and Dice, Dicing with Danger/Death, D4 (D for) Dungeon. I quite like Goblinquest though!Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542564069442839838.post-59922719468381655312012-11-02T18:43:44.871+00:002012-11-02T18:43:44.871+00:00Cheers Gareth.

I was rather leaning towards Goblinquest myself, so that's 100% in favour (a bit like a Soviet election) and motion carried.Rabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066364524817373862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542564069442839838.post-81563442211160581312012-11-01T20:45:13.287+00:002012-11-01T20:45:13.287+00:00Goblinquest sounds pretty neat!
