New Loot!

The Society has freshly acquires two new items to it's collections.


First there's this new boardgame called Marnon. It originates to 1970's with the name Wizard's Quest but Marnon is the name for european/scandinavian release at late 1980's.

In Marnon the players oppose eachother as kings struggling for the rule of the island of Marnon. Each king commands his army against the others, orcs and a dragon, while wizard Peacemaker aid each side. One who discovers three items of power first, wins the game. Items are Crown, Ring and a Treasure Chest.

The society playtested the game with the Inner Five, and game took few hours. Even though it basically rolls around the luck with dice, Marnon possesses quite potent amount of strategy as each player tries to balance his forces for defending and for conquest, as bloodshed around him grows turn by turn. Nice!

Marnon proved to be extremely entertaining and became instant-hit with strong classic-status.

Another article freshly plundered is propably the last Dungeons & Dragons 3.5edition book that Society will ever purchase. Local "hobby shoppe" Fantasiapelit still had one copy of D&D 3.5e Rules Compendium!!! Book greatly features all the essential rules of 3.5edition as a quick reference and thus it is a welcomed addition to Societys D&D games. Well done!
