The books are slightly oversized (think Fabled Lands large size) so that they can be spread open when you play.Ī FREE sample pdf of 140 sections from Book 1: The Valley of Bones is currently available to download from the Legendary Kingdoms website. Book 1: The Valley of Bones currently consists of 900+ references, which may be further increased if the upcoming Kickstarter campaign proves successful. The gamebooks feature glorious cover and internal artwork by renowned artists Claudio Pilia (background artist for Game of Thrones) and Robin Smith (2000AD: Judge Dredd, Slaine, etc), provoking the desire for exploration, which is at the heart of the series. Do you become revolutionaries? Avoid politics and explore winding dungeons? Become obsessed with magic, and desire to find all of the spells and weird secret areas in each book? Or perhaps you want to romantically entangle your characters in a gloriously complex love-triangle? You can even abandon party members and leave them to their fate and hire a new adventurer. Your party doesn’t always travel together, with the game’s mechanics allowing you to do things as a team or as individuals. Legendary Kingdoms reflects, in gamebook form, the type of unpredictable events and circumstances present in a good D&D campaign. You can buy your own galleys and galleons and explore the oceans, fighting off pirates with the Naval Combat system. If you become a landowner, or are promoted to a general, you can also fight with entire armies using the mass-combat system. You’ll create new regiments by either mustering your own troops, or forming alliances with other kings and lords, and using their troops in battle. It is possible to transfer troop regiments between books (if you control enough costal cities), so the deadly warriors you train in one book can fight for you in another. This ambitious series includes full-party combat and a full spell-casting system. You can proceed to explore this enormous setting, which is divided into six books, in any order, increasing your party’s skill, wealth and renown, allowing them to then take on more challenging adventures, including a world-spanning final quest to thwart a terrible evil that could end all existence.Įach of the six Legendary Kingdoms gamebooks cover a distinct geographic area and feature their own main plot (which you can follow or ignore), dozens of adventure sites, and lots of cities, character-building moments and secret areas. Each book is also the home of a particular pre-generated character, and you can undertake their personal quest if you wish to complete that character’s arc to gain bonuses and special items.īook 1: The Valley of Bones takes place in a desert wilderness where tyrant kings oppress the teeming masses in a land strewn with ancient artefacts and ruins. But their grip on power is fragile … and the citizenry are ripe for revolution.

A terrible secret lurks in its forgotten grottos and sky-touching mountains.īook 6: Drakehallow is a gas-powered hell of furnaces and sorcery. The population cram into over-packed, crumbling cities for fear of encountering the monstrous creations of their depraved industry.
