Hi all

a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I used to play wargames/RPGs , and one that came in the old Dragon magazine around 82 was a game called, the Search for the Emperors treasure, very light but lots of fun, especially with multiple players.

Fast Forward to this year, now Im an old geezer, my Daughter and I had finished the demo of the xbox360 game Too Human about 25 times, and she loves TH, but I only let her play act 1, or tootle around in the world tree level, she was asking if we had any dice games like TH as she is too young for D&D ( her words not mine)

SO I got working on this today and after a few hours, I managed to get it made, and it plays out pretty much like TH, except my camera is gods eye and you get Epic Gear quicker


as you can see from the images, Grendel looks a bit nicer, so much so that the object of the Hall of Heroes run is to RESCUE GRNDL from the bad goblins!


to explain, the top left number is the amount of dice rolled, and for the creatures, the bottom right is the amount of hits required to *crunch* them, you hit on a 6 ( on a D6) unless it says for example 3+ , which would be roll 3 dice and hit on a 5 or 6 ( the + makes it +1 to each dice)



The blue polarity goblins freeze you if you crunch em in melee and you skip a turn, but the enemies still get their attack on you . The loot all goes into a cup of some sort, and you grab 1 loot chit per creature you crunch, except for leaders and trolls , which are 2 each . On the map the challenge areas have a dice icon, that means you have to defeat the creature in 1 attack roll , otherwise you get 1 loot for the enemy, and then none from the shrine.



On the weapons, Top left is damage added to the base for melee, and the ranged weapons give you a free attack, at their dice rating ( 1 , 2 or 3) or better if they have a + after the dice level ( epic cannon FTW!)





on the character sheets the top left is the base dice available ( 2 in Freyas and Baldurs case) top right is the armour rating , which you get to use once per each fight ( IE if you have the helmet that gives you 1 armour, you negate the first hit taken that combat the rest will damage you) and the bottom left is how much life they have before the "Nurse Knight" shows up . The life icons are copies of the 360s life guage too, full green, 75% green, 50% yellow and 25% red




for setup, you put a troll upside down on each T, a Leader on each L and a goblin on every G , you then put all the green gear face dwon, pick one , put the rest in the loot cup, with the health orbs then you move 1 space at a time crunching cyber cardboard Goblins until you rescue GRNDL the poor little gorilla droid





oh, for ruiners, you keep track of every time you hit a creature ( every 6, or 5 or 6 with a + weapon) and once it hits 6 you can use the ruiner, which lets you roll double dice for that 1 attack round ( any successes dont count to reknew the ruiner level ) and the 2 spiders are the chaingun one that adds 2 ranged dice for 1 round of combat, and the shield one which lets you ignore the damage from any round of combat ( you use the shield BEFORE the enemy rolls)

and last and not least, My daughter insisted that you could go to Aesir and buy gear, so every 5 dollar (bounty) chit lets you go to aesir and trade the cash for 2 loot items, keeping the one you want , or you can trade in 5 loot for 2 new picks out of the cup and keep the one you want.

phew , so there you go, Im a total geek, and we had a lot of fun rescuing GRNDL, he was so happy, he let us keep the epic sword........awwwww


bye for now
