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.

If anyone is interested in reading a review of David and I's game (Dungeons & Delvers: Black Book) here is a really nice one:

It breaks down all the important aspects and even talks about the art.

Nice review! But I'm still a bit unclear on the WHY people should buy it if we already have a dozen fantasy RPGs. Please elaborate on what your game does IN ACTUAL PLAY that makes it worth running a campaign.

Is it on Amazon? If not, why?

Here's the RPGNow link

It's cool that the POD options come with free PDF.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by what the game does in actual play. Do mean key differences in the system that would make it feel different from other systems?

To try to answer it though, I've only really played Dungeon World and some Dungeons & Dragons, and to me Black Book is just simpler and more intuitive (especially when compared to running/designing for Dungeon World). Hopefully that helps. :)

As for Amazon, we just didn't think to do that, but we can look into now that you brought it up!
