Wondering if you should read this companion to the Darksword trilogy?
24 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
Darksword Adventures was originally written as a role-playing game supplement based on the Darksword trilogy. As a result, I very nearly bypassed it, since I am not interested in the gaming aspect of Darksword. After thumbing through the book, I decided to buy it and I do not regret it.
Although there is a lot of gaming info in the book, it is easy to skip. Included with the gaming information is a lot of history and explanation of magic in the Darksword world. Anyone who enjoyed reading the trilogy should find this information helpful and interesting.
This book is not essential, but if you are thinking about re-reading the trilogy someday, reading Darksword Adventures first may help to fill in some holes and improve the experience.

Rock, Paper, Scissors?
8 May 1998
Format:Paperback
What's the deal with using rock, paper, scissors to resolve conflicts? That really threw me. The background material was excellent, but the actual game mechanics seemed awkward. But I never actually got enough people together who wanted to play, so I don't know first hand how well they work (or don't work.)
Great companion book!
6 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is a must-have for anyone who is a fan of the Darksword Trilogy. It really gives a great deal of insight into the workings of Thimhallan and its magic.
The game itself is a bit cumbersome to play but still a lot of fun. I, for one, would love to see an updated version. Perhaps in hardback. If you actually play the game, the book itself gets worn out after a few sessions.
