Hi Tom.
that sounds more along the lines of tabeltop wargames than the sort of
tabletop rpg I was thinking of. I've never really had access to such things
myself simply because overview o the board and the various units is a
pain, ---- plus, while it's something I'd like to try, I will confess it
doesn't quite rab my interest as much as the exploration, rpg style games
like talisman or skull mountain.
One game I do! remember being awsome was atmosphere, where you played with
the video of the gate keeper who also gave you lots of hastle throughout the
game and created music. You played as various characters such as hellen the
polterghist, elizabeth bathroy the vampire and barran samdi, and had to
collect keys as you went around a board like a grave yard, awhile picking up
various time and fate cards monopoly style.
the really interesting thing in atmosphere (apart from the creepy music
provided by the video), was also the time limit, since there was a clock on
screen and after an hour the gatekeeper won the game and everyone lost.
There were even time cards that you could activate at certain times to steel
keys off other players or similar.
Later varients of the game even had player battle mode and the like, though
sadly everything was in print so I never really got that much access to the
thing.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
