Dungeon Saga: Previews und Beta Regeln

Mantic Games zeigen weitere Bilder zu Dungeon Saga und außerdem sind die Beta Regeln online.

Since the very beginning of Mantic Games we’ve tried to be as inclusive as possible.

From running the Kings of War Beta test way back in 2010 to fan-additions made to our Mars Attacks game, the community and their feedback has been central to the way we create our games.

With Dungeon Saga, this has been no different. From way back when we did Dwarf King’s Hold – our original dungeon crawler – and the feedback we had on that game, right through to the Dungeon Saga Alpha rules that you were able to play and feedback on in August 2014 when we were running the Kickstarter campaign, we’ve been collating feedback the whole time.

Recently we held a beta test at Mantic Towers and as we said in the last update, there were plenty of great suggestions on ways to improve the game. So much so we held back the beta rules, improved and iterated on them, and put them together into a new format.

On March 7th we’re holding a second Dungeon Saga playtest day at Mantic HQ, which you’re invited to attend. Just email dave@manticgames.com if you wish to attend.

A face-to-face playtest day is great, but we want all of you to get involved and, as promised, we’ve put the latest iteration of the rules together into the files below ready for you to download.

About the rules

In this folder you will find the Rulebook, Scenario Book, plus all of the stats and cards you need to play the game. You’ll need to mock up your own counters, tiles and find a few models to play with.

As you can see, the rules and the layout are not yet complete, and your feedback will influence the final design of the game.

The maps for example are currently just photographs (and, as they’re a little hard to read, we’ve also included a folder of higher-res imagery so you can get a better look at them).

REMEMBER – THESE RULES AND THE RULEBOOK ARE STILL IN DEVELOPMENT AND FOR THE CORE GAME ONLY. That means that there may be some things missing.

Giving feedback

We are looking for feedback on a number of specific topics:

• Are the rules easy to understand?
• Is the game easy to learn?
• Is the game fun?
• What did you enjoy about the game?
• What didn’t you like about the game?

We’ve set-up a board on the Mantic Forum dedicated to giving feedback on the rules, scenarios and rulebook.

Games Developer Jake Thornton has also set up this Q+A post on this Quirkworthy blog for any questions on the Dungeon Saga Beta Rules.

If you want to have a say on the rules then you must submit your feedback by Monday 9th March. This feedback will then be collated and taken into consideration.

Alternatively you can submit feedback to dave@manticgames.com.

Mantic Games ist unter anderem bei unserem Partner Radaddel erhältlich.
