Title: Robin Hood: Anyone played this one? (or similar theme)?
Post by: Trond on April 21, 2025, 08:45:48 PM
I just got this one in the mail, in near-mint condition. Flipping through it makes me think that this one is actually looks like a really nice setting, with clear drawings of towns and buildings. A bit more hefty than the Vikings module which is also not bad BTW. Not much use of magic rules, but then I did not expect that either (perhaps nuns can have memorized prayers that in game terms function like low level healing spells or something).  Have you used this module, or something based around a similar theme? (Robin Hood or RH-ish)

I got that around 10 years ago and still haven't had the chance to run it. Which sucks because it's such a good book and it's Robin Hood...not exactly a hard sell.

I never even knew it existed until now. Robin Hood is one of my favorite classic characters, and I have thought about doing a Robin Hood campaign before. I'll have to track it down. Maybe I'll use it if I ever get around to running Maelstrom: Domesday.

There are a few copies on eBay for about $50, my suggestion is to buy one ASAP.

I didn't even know that existed, but very glad to see it.  Just last year I re-read Howard Pyle's The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood for the ?th (I've lost count) time.  Never used Robin Hood in a game, but I did stat him out once (using BRP rules) with the idea that players might magically summon him into their own campaign world.

Another book for my reading list.
