Blood Sword quick flip through - Two Shelves of Gaming Episode 22

Time for another video I think! I needed to test out my camera and microphone kit for an upcoming filming job, but rather that just filming me saying 'Testing 1-2-3, Testing 1-2-3' over and over, I thought I'd do something a tiny bit creative. So I got out my un-played Bloodsword books written by Dave Morris and illustrated by Russ Nicholson to give them a quick video outing. I've talked about these fine books before, but here they are in the flesh. Interestingly while they inhabit the same game World as Morris' RPG 'Dragon Warriors' the combat system is different using only D6s instead of the full polyhedral set. On the subject of which, the combat damage in this game can be eye wateringly high. No 2 stamina points of damage per round here folks. As the example in the video shows, you can be up against an opponent who deals 10d6 worth of damage here. Yes, you read that right - 10d6! As such these books can be lethal and unforgiving with the player or players needing to choose clever about the type of characters they use and tactics they employ. Talking of which the game's USP is the use of tactical maps that transform the game from a book only experience to one in which you can use minis and a small board if you choose. In either case this line of books are widely available as print on demand so give 'em a go. If you dare.....
