I guess it would have to be Allansia based. Also there are problems with having the necessary stat levels to even have a chance of victory in certain books. But I think some kind of campaign of around 10 adventures could be attempted, using stonebridge, blacksand and your other ideas! There would need to be some kind of mechanic to allow improvements to SKILL, STAMINA and LUCK, perhaps after each completed book a statistic can be increased... I really need to post my own ideas in a blog and do it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244825942034612802.post-62421298309453267312013-12-03T12:58:05.205+00:002013-12-03T12:58:05.205+00:00Thank you!

Those sound fairly mutually exclusive, but I suppose you could, if you wanted to, argue that they can still be combined and the condensed nature of the texts doesn't tell the full story (e.g. you are a captain who earns fame and reward towards the end of the war; shortly before it finishes you are captured and turned into a Moonrunner; as soon as the war ends, you get your life back, but you spurn fame as you don't feel comfortable with it, especially as you unwillingly betrayed your comrades). Bit of a stretch, I admit, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hand left things ambiguous on purpose.Paltoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961821462981797028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244825942034612802.post-21951075561152873182013-11-23T16:44:18.943+00:002013-11-23T16:44:18.943+00:00You're right about the desperation thing - I s...You're right about the desperation thing - I should have checked the book rather than relying on memory. But now that I have compared the texts, there's an even more obvious difference. At the end of the War, the hero of LotSW was a captain, and had gained some degree of renown (p. 23). Ther hero of <b> Moonrunner</b> was still under Gruul's influence, and not even fully human, at the time the war ended (section 30).Ed Jolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293815550517824166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244825942034612802.post-12992711518488542432013-11-23T15:33:12.719+00:002013-11-23T15:33:12.719+00:00Good points, which make it less likely that the tw...Good points, which make it less likely that the two heroes are the same. I don't think the hero of LotSW is quite so desperate as you suggest though, and the fact they are both veterans of the War of the Four Kingdoms is an interesting detail (although I suppose many warriors in this period would have been). And, yes, MR comes after LotSW as the Kauderwelsch story indicates.Paltoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961821462981797028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244825942034612802.post-44619111383316654422013-11-23T15:21:21.776+00:002013-11-23T15:21:21.776+00:00It's not clear that the hero of LotSW and MR a...<i>It's not clear that the hero of LotSW and MR are the same individual, but they could be interpreted as such I think.</i><br /><br />That seems a bit of a stretch. The hero of LotSW is an ordinary down-on-his-luck sword-for-hire who accepts what he believes to be a <b>Scooby-Doo</b>-type 'expose the fake ghost' mission because he's desperate for funds. The hero of <b>Moonrunner</b> is a driven man on account of his wartime experiences, a renowned bounty hunter with a zeal for justice, a mildly fanatical obsession with tracking down certain villains, and a wide range of special skills.<br /><br />A tenuous case could <i>almost</i> be made for having the hero of <b>Moonrunner</b> go into decline after achieving the goal he'd sought for so long, neglecting his special skills to the extent that he stopped being able to use them, and being saved from the gutter when the events of LotSW force him to clean up his act and become a hero again. But <b>Moonrunner</b> features the reanimated corpse of the Kauderwelsch who dies in LotSW, so it can't be another FoD/CotSW 'the later book actually happens first' set-up, and we're stuck with irreconcilable character differences.Ed Jolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293815550517824166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244825942034612802.post-36271848257727158972013-11-22T22:33:40.053+00:002013-11-22T22:33:40.053+00:00Yes, I did think of adding that one.
