Those of use who have read both could start up a quest or two in next to no time. Also, those of us who have used a D20 system will find some skills and rules familiar. You will just need to learn the new rules made for the RPG. The game rules are very simple but they are still very well explained and examples are given for combat (the only vaguely complicated part of the rules.) Those of us who have already read the Fabled Lands gamebooks will already have a good knowledge of the background of Harkuna and the basic rules. It is also easy to see which chapters you may want to miss out if you are anxious to start a game and don’t want to read what the setting is all about. The contents page is very detailed, listing all of the headings in the book, so it is easy to see what the chapter is about. Game information is presented in a clear systematic way so it is pretty easy to find on a page.
I found the sourcebook a very easy and interesting read. Now, Greywood Publishing plan on releasing a sourcebook for each of the twelve Fabled Lands books with the Sokara (the land from book 1) book out in September and the Golnir (the land from book 2) book out in December. However, the gamebooks have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity with beautifully designed apps, reprints of the first four books and now an RPG version.
Twelve gamebooks were planned but only six were published.
The idea behind the books was to create what is now known as a sandbox setting.
#Tropes fabled lands series
Fabled Lands was a series of gamebooks written by Dave Morris and Jamie Thompson.
