On the main map, higher-level characters will call up reinforcements -- a level four paladin can call forth three other mounted knights to fight at his side for instance. However, if he descends into the dungeon below the map, his knights disappear and he fights alone.
Because of this, it's easy to quickly ramp up huge armies on the surface, while you can only adventure with small parties below ground. Neat design tricks like those give the game the right feel without overcomplicating it. There are only two resources to worry about: shards, which periodically fall from the sky and litter the main map; and gold, which can only be found in the dungeons below. A successful player has to manage both, but unlike most real-time strategy games, you can't just send a bunch of peons to fetch stuff while you worry about other things.
Scouring the dungeons below requires a party of adventurers who can topple bad guys and loot chests -- it helps to have some muscle, some healers, and at least one high-level rogue to disarm traps and pick locks. You'll have to control them directly to make sure the job gets done. Gold naturally trickles into your coffers, representing tax revenue from your city, but not fast enough to spare you from the need to adventure. In the single-player game, you can often "paint yourself into a corner" and run out of a resource, particularly gold.
It's not hard to overdevelop your city, then inadvertently lose your whole adventuring party to a cataclysmic battle, at which point you'll be stuck waiting before you can build anything.
Sometimes you're forced to just restart the mission, or you find yourself waiting around. And there is a lot of waiting in the single-player game, waiting for new units to spawn, waiting for them to call up all their reinforcements, waiting for them to cross the map to where you need them -- occasionally I found myself checking my e-mail as I played.
The single-player game definitely feels more like a slow, deliberate role-playing adventure than a nail-biting real-time game. Resources aside, there are tons of interesting strategic decisions to make. Rather than building buildings at random, your city layout influences the types of heroes you can create. Your units get bonuses if you cluster buildings together, so you have to decide which classes you want to focus on.
Also, you can use experience you gain in the dungeons to level up whole classes of characters. During any particular adventure you'll only have enough XP to get one or two classes to max level: which ones you choose to emphasize has a huge impact on your strategy. Moreover, during each mission you'll find items and artifacts that your characters can use, and there's a whole rewards inventory to manage between each level.
All told, there are dozens of different ways to play the game. While the single-player game may have its starts and stops, when it works, it works great: you'll feel like you're canvassing through dark dungeon passages or leading a massive army into battle, often within the same mission. The campaign bogs down in places, but there's some good gameplay in there. While Dragonshard's single-player game can be hit or miss, in multiplayer skirmishes the gameplay really shines. The pace is absolutely frantic.
In my earlier first impressions I said playing multiplayer was like trying to play two pianos simultaneously. Or, more accurately, like trying to play Dungeon Siege and Battle for Middle-earth at the same time on the same machine.
Against the computer A. But against other human players, it's a real joy. Gold can be used to pay for extra training. Some drawn trackers I use behind the DM screen, to track all the fun details in combat. I drew a character sheet for my home game, and thought it was nice. I hope you like it as much as I do!! Discussion of value and methods for adjudicating stealth evenhandedly. Revised character sheets. One page has no spellcasting, so it has a whole column for features, and lots of space for attacks and equipment.
A non-casting class can use this one sheet for everything. There are two versions - skills listed alphabetically and by attribute. A spell page with a table for listing spells and their details such as casting time, duration, if it requires concentration or is a ritual. A spellcaster just adds this to the first sheet to have everything they need. I did not include magazines.
I hope that anyone takes this and improves it and re-shares it. I will probably try to update it as they release more stuff. If I missed anything let me know and and I will add it. If you have suggestions feel free to drop them to me. Hope this helps someone. I took the Journey system from The One Ring as well as a bunch of hazards for that system from online forums and modded them to work with 5E exploration games.
I'm mainly going to use it with a "pathcrawl" game on a large island, but you could really use it for whatever you'd like. User Information. Add a copy to your collection Record information Record a play. Average Rating: 8. Browse 50 Images » wrong image?
