About a week ago on an other forum I found out about the Re Issue of the Loan Wolf Books by Mongoose Games and someone pointed out Project Aon.
but on to the point of this post, that night after complaining about how both my copies of the Magamund Companion where MIA, anyway no sooner than half an hour after I found one of my copies along with Six Game Books I wrote in the late 80's all in Exercise books, all have my atrocious handwriting (I'm Dyslexic) except the rewrite of the first one that I submitted as a school assignment it's typed on Foolscap, I got an VHA (Very High Achievement, equal to an "A") for it, but reading/playing it now I realise that it is shocking, also have the notes for revised copies of the rest of the books and notes on the next four. so far I have "Knight of Summerlund" with three books finished, one rewritten and two in planing a Magician one finished and one in planing, and a Border Ranger Book with an other in planing.
I almost feel inspired enough to Rewrite the lot of them, and likely would if I didn't have so much on my plate at the moment.
The Basics where excellent, just the execution was lacking, If I can find the time some time soon I may post more.
For the Knight I had Six Weapon Skills and Nine other Talents/Skills to choose from, you could only take one weapon skill out of your original three selections, their where also "Renowns" you could achieve by getting all the Skills/Talents in the set, completing a "Renown" gave you bonuses to the use of the Skills in that Set, or just your CS & EP for the Combat related "Renowns" (all Skill use was randomly determined).
The Knights Story was simple he was injured in the Siege of Holmgard and could not join the Combined Armies chasing down the Fleeing Horde, now back in Good Health and with what meager Supplies and equipment the Royal Armory can spare you are sent forth to find out about Darklands Stranglers and Human Bandits, you end the first book at the Manor of your Betrothed to find out her Younger Sister (and your True Love) has bean kidnapped by Fleeing Darklanders, and that leads in to Book 2
the Magician is the "True Love" of the Knight's story who during her Captivity has discovered a Plot to Assisanate the Son of Baron Baleon Medar who is to soon Wed the Daughter of Baron Avan Caldar in Anskaven, You must Race from your Home to the Northern City to undo the Plot, she starts her adventure with the Special Ability of "Spell Casting" and two of nine others and three spells, some Special Abilities give Bonus spells, those that don't are more useful in other ways.
The Border Ranger was the worst of the lot being a kind of a mix of Kai and Knight Lite.
As I said if I can find the time Soon I will post more if folks are interested.
