Land of the Dragons

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Dragon warrior is one of my favorite video game on NES. In fact, I've the Dragonlord pseudo on a lot of games and forums. My boardgame collection was in the 70/80's, so my daughter show me Carcassonne three years ago, and I've probably the most complex Carcassonne game of the world with about 4000 tiles. The 10 008 game play was just with base game. I've created some expansions with new tiles, new mechanics for the game. Also created cards expansions with the Zipang card game. Also created solo and 2-4 players mode for the werewolf game.

Knowing a good place for games parts, the time to create my own game has come.  

I will show you the game to the beginning to the end. 

It's a game using about 120 tiles, 300 cards, 60 dices and 34 plastic/resin minis.

First, the tiles. I will use already made tile at the beginning to save time.May be personnal one later.  

10 castles (6 for the players and 4 for the Wizard castle)

3 cities

6 villages

6 dragon's nest to put the starting dragons.

10 lakes

20 mountains

20 woods

20 savannas

25 lawns

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Second, the minis.  

I will choose 6 warriors and 2 bad guys from this twinples.

Adding companions for the quest.

And the bad dragons to protect the bad guys. 

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Third, the cards: 6 kinds

The lawn with small beasts

The savanna with bigger one

The wood with more terrify beasts

The mountain with strong monsters

The lake with various monsters

The shop to get your weapons and everything

Cards are ready for the PnP.

Ooh, this sounds intriguing. I LOVED Dragon Warrior as a teenager. It was the first RPG I ever played, and it opened up a whole new world to me. Afterwards I started playing the Final Fantasy series and Ultimate series.  Sill, I will never forget enormous fun my family had with Dragon Warrior. Even my mother was playing it. We each had our own game file and competed to see who would finish the game first. (It was me, I believe). 

So how does your game work? What are the rules? Looks like you have put a lot of thought into it.

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

It's the beginning.40 euros for the tiles and minis, 80$  for the ink of the PnP of the cards. With the dice tower and sorcerer ks done, I should be ok to progress. But I've not finish to introduce the game.  

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Player's dices

D6 for level player and D12 to move

At the beginning, you play with one D6 and one D12

 

First you roll the D12 for the tile you can move

1 and up: Castle, city and village

2  and up: lawn

4 and up: savanna

6 and up: wood

8 and up: mountain

10 and up: lake and wiward's castle

If you don't move, you get half the life point going up.

The D6 are used to fight the monsters. Play one dice for level one and 3 for level 3.

(just need one black dice, should get it very soon)

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Monsters's dices

Monsters from the cards use D4 to D30, the dragons: D60, sorcerer D80 to D100 and the wizard: D100 to D160. (missing D14, D16, D22)

There's the the monsters'life counters

Money: 1/5/10/25/100

 

 

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

This could be a warrior and companion life counter, may be...

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Set up of the game:

Each player receive one D6 and one D12, some money (to be tested) and a marker for the last castle/city/village visited.

 

After placing the first tiles:

Adding the wizard, sorcerer and dragons. (don't have all the minis at this time nor the tiles)

In a bag, put all the mountains and lakes tiles, draw tiles to make another circle around the damned land.

Add wood, savanna and villages for the next circle.

Add lawn and cities for the next one and finish all the circle.

Each player put his castle connect to a lawn tile.

Each city, village and castle should be more than two tiles away.

 

[Konas 4,279]

@Serge Darveau Looks cool. Can't wait to see how it progresses.

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

After the set up off the game tiles (the look will be different every game except the center). The first player rolls the compass dice to move the 6 dragons of one tile.

After, he rolls his D12 to leave his castle. At level 1, only one dice, so forget to go on the wood or mountain tiles. Going on the lawn tile with a 2 roll and over or the savanna tile with a 4 and over roll, you pick up a monster card from the lawn category.

You could get a card like this; (I will not use the card above, may be copyright so I will make mine during the winter)

D4 monster card means he rolls a D4 to attack you, have 4 life points and you will get 4 coins for the win.

The warrior rolls his D6 and the monster his D4. Warrior life will be ajusted with the playtesting. If you get 3 on your first roll, leaving one life point of the monster, you could add this monster for your companion if you're not dead  

Fighting monsters give money to buy weapons to increase attack and defense, but you have to reach a city (5 weapons cards choice) or a village (3 weapons cards choice). You have to change city/village to get a new weapons cards choice. Using the marker for it.

Somethime, rather than a monster card, you could get some items.

Keeping the defeat monsters cards, you could trade it to upgrade your level by adding another D6 on your attack and get more life points. Points for the next level will be playtesting before.

So it's only the beginning of the game project.

 

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Adding two dices of fate with the attack dices. 

++ monster hits first twice

+0 monter hits first

+- attack in same time

00 both attack blocked

-0 warrior hits first

-- warrior hits first twice

[RomyCat 1,050]

Wish I could play test it. Looks fun.

[Lindsey 758]

Feels and looks like Dragon Warrior! How long are games on average?

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Still making the components of the game, so no testing yet.Everything on card won't change, but you can change the life points of the warrior, dragon, sorcerer and wizard, the points needed to upgrade level, removing easy or hard cards of the game, so it could be easy to difficult. Special quests could be add.

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

Your order has been received.

Thank you for your purchase!

I will received pieces and tiles from Germany in less than two weeks.

The six warriors will be:

The sorcerer and the wizard:

I remember how much Romy liked this game. She gave it to me for my birthday cause she wanted to play it so much and needed a reason to spend the money on it But I did end up enjoying the game anyways.

[Serge Darveau 1,210]

All the pieces have been ordered, also D9, D14, D16, D18 and D22 dices.

So time to make temporary playtesting cards before to create the PnP cards for it.

Is that a pumpkin monster that I see? Did you get Tgpumkin’s permission to betray him as a monster? Do you have to pay him a royalty fee?
