Like in Sorcery! Where you can dig a cesspit for someone.
Otherwise you could trade time or health for money. Nothing blows up or burns down if you end up working in an office for fifty years before starting quests. A bit like working in a supermarket for a few weeks so you can save up for your machete and pith helmet.Īs time isn't a factor in a Fabled Lands, i.e. Get lantern, sell lantern, get lantern, sell lantern a few times and you can get some equipment. There is a repeatable encounter that lets you pick up a lantern for relatively small risk. Like iAnd when I started in Book 4, I did do some grinding. Reply DeleteĪnd when I started in Book 4, I did do some grinding. Once you have some blessings, and maybe a resurrection deal, that's when you start exploring the nastiest corners of Harkuna. I'd imagine that starting in Book 5 will lead to a nasty fate at the hands of the priests of Eibon. To be fair to Book 2, some of the "bad things" don't kill you which lead to other adventures. If you stick to the roads, you'll be OK at low levels mostly, but stray from the path and the Big Bad Wolf will get you. Starting in later books you do get a higher rank, but you don't have the equipment or blessings to survive unless you do "undead problem solving", as in "I got killed three times here because I didn't have the keyword "Excalibur" so I'll avoid the death cave of doom for now.īook 2 is deceptively deadly. It's a) the easiest b) quests are easier to find and c) any deadly dangerous places are clearly flagged. Realistically, you want to start with Book 1. That was tough, but I had a lot of fun going into the Steppes and trying to come back alive. I started with Book 4 as that was all I had. What's been your experience of the books? Did you start out in The War-Torn Kingdom with a 1st rank character? Did you need to cheat, or were you able to make your way in the world? We need to know! But if it's really the case that the books are so tough that a starting character can't even get going, that's a serious flaw indeed. We always knew the FL books would be trickier to balance than any ordinary gamebook because there are so many possible routes through. Well, that gave me and Jamie pause for thought, I can tell you.
#FABLED LANDS DICE NEEDED SERIES#
I want to enjoy playing the series but I want at least a measure of possibility that I will survive!"
"What do you suggest? By the way I bought all six books at once. I don't like a cake walk but this is way too tough! I think you guys could have made weapons and armor and other stuff cheaper, and given characters more money and a better chance at fighting enemies. One player suggested using a level 6 character and playing book one with that character - which would work, but that seems to be cheating. It's unfortunate because I really do like the game and want to play it. "Also, how is a level one character going to get two hundred shards to buy a boat? I don't even see opportunities to steal or to earn money. It's disappointing because I like to play fair, but no matter how hard I try and how careful I am I get killed off. The monsters are too powerful, you start off with sixteen shards, and there is nothing available in the Fabled Lands for anything under twenty shards except maybe a ferry ride. "I have played books 1,2,3 and 4 and lose without a reasonable survival possibility. Jamie forwarded me an email he got recently from Johnathan Finfinis, who makes a pretty important point about the Fabled Lands books:
