I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Erudite, and I have not played DQ since 1981-82! I was first introduced to the game with the original boxed set with three...
Welcome Erudite, Your comments concerning DQ rules/setting are fair enough imo. Personally, I always felt like DQ had a slightly North African feel about it,...
... It should be noted that the bulk of material on here is lots of peoples different idea's of a fantasy world mashed together. I wouldn't recommend using the...

Hi Lev, I used to have the Thieves World boxed set, way back when. It was lost long ago! So sad... I took a look at the nz link; I guess the Alusia product...

Yes! I managed to score "The Enchanted Woods" by Jaquays. I have heard that this one was one of the best adventures by SPI for DQ. I should see the three...
... Low-ranked characters are adequate for the Blade of Allectus. The Palace is suitable for a range of characters, but I'd say a little higher is best. ...
I agree with Jeff. I've run all 3 with freshly generated characters to veterans. It just depends on what part of the adventure you run them through. DQ is much...
I'll try to keep the change in play style in mind; I note that defenses to not really scale as much as they do in DND. Using the right tactics and teamwork...
I started, and I guess my entire group did, with the Palace of Ontoncle. We were actually in it for our first few months of DQ'ing:) It's still my favorite DQ...
