This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Robin Hood: Anyone played this one? (or similar theme)?

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.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

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.
Playing: Mongoose Traveller 2e
Running: On Hiatus
Planning: Too many things, and I should probably commit to one.

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.
I know how the illegals feel. I'm an alcoholic & they keep setting up these random DUI checkpoints. You have no idea what a chilling effect this has had on the alcoholic community. I know people who are too terrified to even drink & drive anymore. I am literally shaking... mostly in my hands...

Another book for my reading list.
