Re: [RPG]: Daughters of Darkness, reviewed by Lev Lafayette (1/3)

I've enjoyed Lev's reviews so far, and have generally agreed with them even. But this review is where I part company from you sir.

Daughters of Darkness, in my opinion, was just plain bad from start to finish. It was, in my opinion, an utterly uninspired piece of work. I can't imagine what Avalon Hill/Chaosium were thinking -- did they have no other RuneQuest manuscripts to hand? Why didn't they use the slot in their list to publish more Gloranthan based adventures, rather than this shoddy piece of work and endless, repetitive lists of troll gods?

I have kept all my RuneQuest material from the 1980s/1990s, even though I haven't touched it now for more than a decade. I think the only product I tossed out was Daughters of Darkness, and if I had my time all over again, I would do more than toss it out -- I would bury it at a crossroads at midnight.

Cheers
Sir Harrok
