In an adventure notebook you can also make notes so that you don’t forget anything, which is very practical, especially if you take a longer break while reading/playing. There are further fields for money (40 shards at the beginning), possessions (up to 12) and some other things like titles and honours. This is 16 at the beginning, but you can lose points through fights and gain them back through healing, whereby the maximum value of the life force can never be exceeded unless you gain a new level.
In addition, there is of course a field for the life force.
as a “guild member”, but you usually move up in the course of the adventure. There is also a level, you start at 3 out of 12, i.e. On your action sheet (also called hero board in other gamebooks) you pencil in your name, profession and the value of all skills. The art of thievery: Sneaking, hiding, picking locks.Nature Knowledge: tracking and knowledge of the wild.Sanctity: gift of divine power and wisdom.Charisma: your talent for making friends.what strengths and weaknesses you have.Įach character has 6 skills, only with different strength values. The profession determines the initial values of your abilities, i.e. Now that’s what I call a hero! 🙂 Professions and SkillsĪs I said, you can also invent your own heroine or hero, the only important thing is to choose one of the 6 professions. In the end, I decided to play the adventure as Damontir: a mage on the brink of madness, plagued by memories of a past life. Thus Jaluda is very vindictive, Damontir power-driven, Silas rather work-shy and Graumalkin cunning. Moreover, they are not necessarily classic, purely good heroines. Well, there’s something for everyone, isn’t there 😉Įach character is briefly introduced and, interestingly, they also pursue different goals, which of course has consequences for the adventure. In “The Sea of Terror” these are for example the warrior Jaluda the Black, the priestess Arcadia Ego, the mage Damontir the Mad, the bard Silas Worrier, the villain Graumalkin Blacksmith or the wanderer Varkung from Metriciens. Objective: Choose one of 6 heroic characters or create your own and set off on adventures in the fantastical world of Harkuna.Ģ of the 6 characters in “The Sea of Terror”Ī special feature of the Fabled Lands Books is that you can choose your character or even create one from scratch.Īt the beginning of each book, 6 illustrious characters are printed for you to choose from.Year of publication: 2017 (original English edition 1996).Game type: Fantasy role-playing game, connoisseur game.However, this review and our rating is uninfluenced and not agreed on content.

FABLED LANDS BOOK 3 SERIES
Have a look at our review of Destiny Quest – The Legion of Shadows, where this is explained in more detail 😉īut back to the Fabled Lands books and the Legends of Harkuna: What makes this gamebook series different? How is the adventure structured? What are the advantages and disadvantages?. If you are just wondering what we are talking about and are reading about game books for the first time – they are basically a mixture of role-playing game and fantasy novel. So it doesn’t matter which volume you start with! Nevertheless, you can take your heroine or hero with you from one adventure to the next, with all the skills and equipment you have acquired. Unlike most gamebook series, however, the Fabled Lands Books are not chronological. Once again I have tested a gamebook series, this time actually two books in one book, because the 2nd anthology of the Fabled Lands series Legends of Harkuna combines the volumes The Sea of Terror and The Valleys of Darkness. In the Fabled Lands books, the main character is none other than yourself and you experience adventures in a fantastic world! The Legends of Harkuna series also offers different characters to choose from and can be played in any order!
