I'm really glad I found your channel and this review. I was wondering about existence of this type of solo rpg for quite a while now and was surprised how old it actually is! Thanks for including the historical background and a very clear gameplay demo - keep up the great work :)
I've not seen THIS particular version, and it looks awesome! Watching again, I thought river crossings worked a bit differently.... 1) First, you make a Lost roll using the value of the terrain table you are in currently. 2) If you did not get lost, you make a second roll using the Lost roll on the River table. 3) If you do not get lost, roll for an Event in the terrain you landed on.
I'm glad that I've found this video. I am a bug fan of Barbarian Prince and was trying to find a way to play it nowadays. Thanks for sharing this redesigned version. It is great!
Definitely a good idea to stay N of the Tragoth river for a turn or so. This allows you to get horses from the Royal Mercenary Guard. Horses affect movement rate and become essential. Plus you can claim their lunches!
That redesign looks awesome. I was only aware of the Todd Sanders one. I hope this one usees all the same corrections. I was looking for an excuse to print a new version. I also like the amaller footprint trackers and modular map.
Check out the Dr Who adventure game built on these rules. It is free online. Barbarian Prince is one of my favorite games in childhood as i used to play with family and alone.
Thanks! It is actually not too difficult to print booklets compared to other DIY work. I recommend checking some saddle stitch video if you are interested :)
@@MelvLee I downloaded them but they seem to be larger than what you have on the table, specifically the tracking, events tables, map etc. Yours seems to be compacted into cards.
@@joeinfantryman They should be in the dropbox that I created (different from Gontinjo's google drive). Maybe try this link? www.dropbox.com/sh/nknjo2c8gw3dvjp/AAC_6WE-gNl4Yd2Y4Z-o4eCaa?dl=0
Great Video - I still have my original game (minus the metal figure). Still like to play it.
I recently found your channel. Thanks for showing this old gem off.

Mel, thank you for another overview of a very interesting and influential game.

This is one I'll definitely have to try out. I can understand why it is highly spoken of.

Thanks for that!! I am not aware that is possible! Talking about learning something new about a 40 years game!
Thank you SO SO MUCH!

Great setup might have to borrow the files for a travel setup

Great review. Any chance you can share those wonderful card size files; they look great and would make the game even more compact. Thanks in advance.
Yes! the links are at the bottom of the video description :)

@@MelvLee Yes, perfect. -Thanks again.
this version is beautiful.
I wish there were some reactive world state however.
Great video! I can't seem to find the Events book in the drives, could you help me? TIA
Do you know more games similar to Barbarian Prince? and thanks a good video
Yes, Star Smuggler is quite similar! Also the Drifter (I have a video on it) if you enjoy Western theme ;)
Great overview. FYI the link to the game download is empty.
Thanks for the update! For some reasons the link works for me, Maybe try this?
