Elle, that published gamebooks (Lone Wolf, Fighting Fantasy, etc.) and the modules were printed in the same booklet format, costing 1/3 of a D&D module.<br />If you know D&D, Das Schwarze Auge is not a great rpg, let say that the first edition was basically a rip off of D&D... two original elements were that you must remember the formulae of the spell to cast them and that a cartographer is mandatory to play the game, while in D&D players may choose to draw their maps or not.<br />I read that newest editions are much better than the original.Luca Lorenzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753738496048471583noreply@blogger.com
