About This Game Only the foolhardy would risk an encounter with the unknown perils that lurk in the murky depths of Darkwood Forest. Yet there is no alternative, for your quest is a desperate race against time to find the missing pieces of the legendary Hammer of Stonebridge – fashioned by Dwarfs to protect the villagers of Stonebridge against their ancient doom.Computer gaming was in its infancy and it was the early days of tabletop RPGs when Ian Livingstone's The Forest of Doom exploded into bookshops in the early 80s, proudly displaying Iain McCaig’s iconic cover.Relive the adventures in Darkwood Forest, lovingly updated for PC, Mac and Linux. Presented in full colour with realistic physics-based dice rolling for battles, auto-mapping, an auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping.This Standalone edition of The Forest of Doom gamebook comes specially themed to suit the adventure. The Forest of Doom is also available to purchase within the Fighting Fantasy Classics library. Please note that purchasing one does not unlock the other and will need to be re-purchased if desired in the other format. 6d5b4406ea Title: The Forest of Doom (Standalone)Genre: Adventure, Indie, RPGDeveloper:Tin Man GamesPublisher:Tin Man GamesFranchise:Fighting FantasyRelease Date: 30 Oct, 2014 The Forest Of Doom (Standalone) Activation Key Crack First up I am very pleased to see these books getting re-released as computer games, and a reasonable price too!There are some technical issues at the moment (dice rolling off the screen, dice falling 'into the distance', potions vanishing), but generally a solid implementation.Regarding The Forest Of Doom specifically though, I just didn't find it a good Fighting Fantasy book personally; you have to hit no less than 4 specific locations getting through the forest in order to actually complete the game - and you cannot go backwards, so if you choose any of the 3-4 other parallel routes for any key location then your game is a bust.This wouldn't be so bad if other routes were deathtraps or other endings, but the book\/game is fully fleshed out with other encounters so it feels like you are actually making headway... only till you reach the end and it summarily declares you failed and get an arrow in the head.I just don't like this model of Fighting Fantasy personally, and much prefer the books were you are heading towards an actual finale and the challenge is in getting there & getting there in a fit state for the last challenge.. And I'm 12 again, on an autumn afternoon, drinking root beer and having fun in an Ian LIvingstone story and - it's wonderful. Trust no one and let the dice fall where they may!5\/5.. If Fighting Fantasy was such an amazing series, perhaps minds will be blown when these fans read Joe Dever's works - most of his Lone Wolf CYOA books are available for free online (legit) with his permission, so there's no reason to be wasting money on what is a rather bland story and CYOA game here.If you are a hardcore Fighting Fantasy fan, or just kupo for the CYOA genre in general, then yeah there's fun to be found here, but this a book that can be read in 10-15 minutes flat and really shows its age for the type of game it is. Pick it up on sale if you must, but don't expect award-winning writing here.. Forest of Doom is a gamebook originally released as a paperback in the 80's under the Fighting Fantasy Gamebook series. The game mechanics, text and all of the art from the book itself is intact and laid out very well along with some music to set the mood (which can be turned off).For those who are not familiar with gamebooks, they are literally a cross between Dungeons & Dragons and Choose Your Own Adventure books. You "play" the game while reading the book and choosing different paths with usually a goal to reach in the end. You roll up stats for your character: Skill, Stamina and Luck and also keep track of your equipment on a character sheet. An automap is also featured and very helpful on subsequent playthroughs, because beating these books on the first try is extremely rare. Combat is done by rolling dice adding your Skill score and comparing it to the creatures result. Higher score hits. This is repeated until someone wins. Other factors come into combat as well...items, luck, escaping, multiple enemies etc. The game can be quite difficult in later parts of the game when creatures tend to be a lot tougher but by then the hero is usually quite capable for themselves.Most books tell a typical D&D like story and sometimes items or quests are involved to resolve a mystery or defeat some evil foe. The books were quite popular in the 80's and have had a recent resurgence, these games originally appeared on tablets and only now are making their way onto Steam.As a final note, I can't recommend these games enough especially for old school RPG players out there. There's nothing quite like sitting down for the night to unwind and relax and playing\\reading these on a big screen TV....along with a nice bonus...achievements! A dream come true for me. Excelsior!. Really true to the source material and full of nostalgia. Sad to see a typo a few pages in. Check your work, people! Check it SO many times. Other than that, a pet peev admittedly, a beautiful rendition of a fantastic gamebook. There's also an 'about' section in the extras that tells you about the creators. Very cool.

Faerie Solitaire Cards Repaint: First repaint of the cards is done (I've been wanting to do this for over a year+): http://i.imgur.com/KpO3I.pngNote: The sizes of the art on the top are the full sizes, but they will be scaled down a bit to the bottom sizes so that they fit better on the cards. This art is not final. If you see anything which bugs you please let me know so I can fix it. I see a bunch of stuff which I want to improve on, but overall I'm pleased with the improvements.New full size is 750x1070 vs the old full size of 75x107. These cards are 75x107. The new full sized cards will make it possible to display the cards in game at larger sizes without losing detail. Also, I made sure to paint them at a large enough size to allow me to get some real decks of cards printed! :D As soon as I get the cards perfect I'll make it possible to buy real decks of FS cards for a limited of time.. 1,887 wishlists. ?? days until release. 94.35% toward goal.: Wishlist!https://store.steampowered.com/app/348910/Faerie_Solitaire_Harvest/We're making the release date a little sooner.
