Everyone asks for Melanda

As months pass, i keep receiving comments from people interested in knowing more about Melanda rpg.

See for instance the latest comments here and here.

Now i realized that it is sold out even on Noble knight website (here).

There are so many vintage role-playing games i should write about, but at this point i can't disappoint the faithful followers of my blog so i have decided to start highlighting Melanda on these pages.

In what forms i'll do it, i still don't know. Cover to cover? That would be wonderful, albeit maybe too painful for me.

Unfortunately i'm going through a long period where i don't feel like posting much (you may have noticed it, apart from the recent uncovering of Prince Valiant rpg which alone is worth one hundred posts...), but when i see fellow players and enthusiasts eager to know about an out-of-print rpg, asking for it...you always succeed in making me feel as during my golden years of collecting obscure rarities through ebay and the like.

So i promise that i'll start something in May, keep your eyes open.

Prince valiant (1989)

After having unearthed "The Compleat Warlock", "Spawn of Fashan", "Proportional combat system" and other exquisite obscurities, it's time for another little gem coming from 1989.

Judging from a couple of reviews which can be read on Amazon website, it seems this game deserves the attention of us- senior players and game masters.

For instance, Mr. Aaron Zirkelbach tells us: "By far, the most underrated RPG of all time"- and someone else informs us that "Prince Valiant" is "quick, clever and virtually unknown".

You can read both reviews here.

What makes a player good?
