Anyone remember Dragon Dice? The ad is from 1995. I made a offhand joke about them earlier today ... and then decided to do a quick google search. I was stunned that Dragon Dice are still being produced, there is another game made by the same company called Demon Dice (featuring collectable d6s which are all demonic units that fight for Archdemons of Hell), and there is a facebook group for Dragon Dice players. https://sfr-inc.com/ocart3/index.php?route=product/category&path=60 Anyone know the story on how this game managed to survive?

I might still have my old Dragon Dice somewhere. What a weird thing to survive for 30 years.

Helical Nightmares posted:Anyone remember Dragon Dice? We just had this discussion a few pages ago. ASL, Netrunner, Dragon Dice, Spellfire, Overpower, Jyhad, and a bunch more games have been “rescued” and rereleased. Dragon Dice never really got a good run so I am happy to see it finding folks. A lot of the rights to old dead games like that are cheap if you can figure out who has the rights. For example, Netrunner was in rights hell for a long time due to five rings publishing and the cyberpunk ccg. Android: Netrunner was amazing at FFG but CD Projekt Red wrecked the Cyberpunk 2020 license five rings had had that wotc had buried.

Goddamn, they kept Spellfire going?! As the one person in the world who really liked Spellfire (in my defense, I was like 11), I don't know how to feel about this.

I played dragon dice for a while when it came out. It was quite a good game iirc. Sold my dice when finding them after moving into a new flat coincided with reading a post by someone wanting to buy DDs.

Didn’t the company that bought Dragon Dice have to rewrite the rules a fair amount as there was something broken in the original?

Kwyndig posted:Power words were so goofy in previous editions of DND because they were one word casts but they took up space in your spellbook like an X level spell, which meant you wrote down the power word, then left pages intentionally blank due to spellbook rules. The explanation given in 3.5e at least is that when you're preparing spells for the day, you're actually spending a lot of time pre-casting the entire spell, mentally running through the pages of words and glyphs and so on that you have in your spellbook. Then that final action when you actually cast the spell during the day is the final trigger. So that's why the Power Word is, yknow, just one word. You did all the other words and stuff earlier.

Probably, the biggest issue that both the physical game version(both the original Japanese version and the slightly different American version*) and the GBA version had was that they were arguably too random even for a game centered around dice, the odds of potentially going multiple turns in a row unable to do anything because of bad rolls was way higher than it should have been, a new version would need to have some safeguards to minimize that issue *the two biggest differences are that the Japanese version replicated both every monster having its own unique die as well as the show/manga gimmick of the dice unfolding into the dungeon tiles, the US version instead went with every tier of monster using the same type of die and went with regular dice and seperate dungeon tiles because the unfolding dice didn't roll well and were kind of fragile

The rules and dice balance definitely needed some work. I feel like twenty years later, though, we could probably come up with a decent solution, possibly involving a small case of modular dungeon tiles to use with non-unfolding dice.

Exactly, heck toy engineering has probably reached the point where doing the "cube unfolds into the dungeon tiles" gimmick would be achievable without the fragility of the original attempt(but yeah using regular dice for the actual rolling), though in prior brainstorming I've done regarding a new version one thought is to mitigate the "bad die rolls resulting in multiple turns of being unable to do anything at all in a row" factor would be to have players generate some of the tokens for doing actions automatically that way even with bad rolls you would be able to do at least one or two basic things every turn(or even multiple things if you saved them up over multiple turns)

Obviously I think the Barbarian is gonna win but making people think that is half the point of being an unassuming wizard. Also, it's "based on the art", and the barbarian is mid-battle while the wizard is idly reading a book. If the art was the barbarian sitting in a tavern, squinting at a merc contract through a tiny pair of cracked reading glasses, and the wizard floating on a ribbon of light with glowing eyes and a determined look conjuring a barrage of rainbow energy beams my answer would sure as hell reflect that.
