Including hardball? ;) Sure, but that's well known :-). I was searching for mystaran games mentioned maybe just one time in a book or gazeteer, so glantrian bowling and wizards and warriors are good suggestions. If wizards and warriors is a chess game, assuming it has more or less the same moves and pieces corrisponding to the RW one, what pieces could have? maybe king and queen are warrior queen and wizard queen and so on, bishop would be cleric, rook could be named war machine or dragon and the knight could be the thief, while pawns could be named soldiers and magelings. Maybe it should have two more pieces, dwarf for the warriors and elf for the wizards, and have some regional variants too. Mystara should have some dice game too. I'll think about it :-) bye Francesco Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 May 2006 01:14:50 -0400 From: Dan Eustace Subject: Re: dice, card and chess games of Mystara The one that comes to mind is Spider's Web from M5. Details are not at hand at the moment, but I have the gameboard & pieces and can dig them up. From what I recall it was a variation of a RW game called mill, and was a recurring theme in the adventure, based in Thothia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francesco Defferrari" To: Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 12:09 PM Subject: [MYSTARA] dice, card and chess games of Mystara > I'd like to know if there are card, dice or chess mystaran games mentioned > somewhere in canon or uncanon material.. anyone knows something? :-) > I tried several times to devise a card game using the deck in the player's > survival kit, but failed.
