Opinions vary!
If you are checking the 'zine out in print for the first time I think #2, #5, #8, and #12 are in some ways the most 'representative' issues, whatever that means, but there it is.
Every issue is someone's favorite, however. :-)

I couldn't really say which issue is best, but I know that I've used a lot of material from #5. It has some great adventures and some setting pieces and some character classes, etc. I have all the issues, though, and continually mine them for inspiration.

I loved issue #5 because it's probably the one I felt most a part of making. Also #4 which had the very neat Arduin theme.
I'm also kinda curious whether anyone's used either the lizardmen I did in #5, or the magic weapon drawback chart from #4, in game.

If I had to choose only one it would be issue #11 mostly because of the Glorantha material. Stafford is well respected in my neck of woods. Back when finnish language Red Box came out about same time came the finnish boxed set of Runequest and so to me Glorantha though I played few games and return to it in form or another every few years became sort of road not taken. I think I will incorporate much of the material in this issue to spice my current campaign (Going through ASE1 module). I really like the rules for ducks and dragonewts. Illustration through the issue are particulary delightful and whimsical like one where the adventurers find a duck with viking helmet apparently locked inside a chest. The epic Conan the Barbarian or Cerebus the Aardvark style illustration where the duck fight against horde of pig-faced orc-broos is another really fancy one and reminds me that the in the long lost copy of my runequest box there were rules for orcs. One thing I noticed was the awesome fight scene illustration of duck vs. penguin. Have any of you played the finnish roleplaying game Ikuisuuden Laakso by any chanse, it is all about warrior penguins. www.nordicrpg.fi/julkaisut/ikuisuuden-laakso/Other material is top notch too, like the tables, vampire character class will definetly see use if any PC gets vampirized, there is too much old WoD players in my group to ignore the potential of such situation. |

Thanks for the feedback, Moe! That issue turned out well I think. I'm going to go check out the penguin game now...

I think the early issues have that shiny, new excitement thing going for them, but some of the later issues might actually be a little more consistent. I don't know...I just sort of digest it as a whole.

If I had to pick one I would say my favorite was #8. It was the first issue I encountered so that's where the shiny new first time experience kicked in for me. It was the Erol Otis tribute issue and it blew my mind with all the awesome it contained. #11 is up there too too, but that's just because I'm biased by it being the first one that had some of my art in it. I've bought them all in either pdf or print form (or both) and they all have something cool in them.

My favorite issue at this point will be #14, just because I finally got it out. I am working away, it is at the top of my pile now.
Moe, do you think that Valley of Eternity would work for younger children, or is it too 'heavy'?

Moe, do you think that Valley of Eternity would work for younger children, or is it too 'heavy'? I would not recommend it to young children as it is rather grim, violent and dark. It's just too harsh for kids. Setting has a lot of tragic pathos, but it is written recognizing the inherent silliness of penguins as characters and there is for example short entry on matter of penguins holding weapons without having thumbs. That sort of odd combination of sort of silly but done on straight face reminds me a bit of ducks of Runequest. According to Juhana it has strange amount of teenage fans which would be the youngest age group I would recommend the game. I'm pretty sure Juhana would answer any questions on it if you mail him. |
