Very random, 0 level characters going into a dungeon. Choices felt extremely minimal - a few things were provided to choose but after that it was simply endure. Several times the game ground to a halt while symbols were figured out as to what would do what. The characters never felt like they were good at any of the actions that were presented, and one of them was simply failing at most everything that they tried to do.

Played the basic "Thankless Task" scenario with two people and we were running out of locations before time. Rather annoying that we couldn't defeat the lizardkin foe because they would always run away before we could defeat them. Almost every time there were three of them and we would kill two (2 players) and they run away thereby preventing us from completing the quest.

Really impressed with this Scots designed dungeon crawler. It plays quickly, is scaled and balanced, and I would say near perfect for solo play. A typical quest will see some combat, but this is pleasingly low key, and other skill or luck based tests hold sway. Play is quite tense and even exciting at times. Gorgeous artwork. Easily understood systems. Original monsters and loot, and even environmental effects. Because it relies on 3d6 rolls there is a hint of old school D&D flavour and fun. Frankly, we have not laughed as much in a while. Tonight, while my camp troubadour partner rolled 6 x 6s and took out enemies with his axe, my hopeless urchin kept rolling so badly that his javelins were causing blue on blue hits. I think there are a couple of mechanisms (alert/surprise) too many, but this will not worry most people. The big plus is that it is less than £20 for the starter kits which, these days, almost seems like a label gun error. I can offer no higher praise than saying this is pretty close to how I would do it myself.
