Yes, that sound pretty fun, and rather simple as well. Sent from my Mac.

Re: [Audyssey] role playing games, ios development, card mechanics, etc
Hi Jeremy, Ahh, hero quest, now that's a game I haven't heard of for ages, that and space crusaders used to be one of my favourite board games years ago. It was simple but really good fun.

Re: [Audyssey] role playing games, ios development, card mechanics, etc
Hi jeremy. That is actually something of the kind I was thinking, when i suggested Talisman, sinse talisman works very much in that way using cards and board configurations to make the dungeon differently each time. I've actually wanted an accessible version of a board game like that for years, particularly because my brother regularly plays talisman with his friends and loves it, so I would be absolutely %100 behind that sort of idea and definitely pay for a game like that.

Marty, You might have a look at how the old HeroQuest board games worked. That might be a model for a roleplaying game that might be a happy medium between your dice/card/board game model of building and the more in depth RPG that people would like. The brief description is this: in the old HeroQuest games, you picked one of four characters a dwarf, a barbarian, an elf, and a wizard. Then your character navigated a board with passages, rooms, doors, traps, and monsters. However, the board was set up differently for each game by placing elements in different configurations. This could be accomplished by a number of methods: 15 or 25 maps for instance, or a random card/corridor placement that uses some simple rules to avoid dumb arrangements. The characters would use dice to move a certain number of spaces on the board, or to resolve combat. There were very few extras such as spells, or monster abilities to fiddle with, and one could create a fun game by varying up the purpose of the quest: sometimes you had to escape the dungeon, sometimes you hunted a large boss monster, sometimes you had to find a specific item. The game was limited by its format, but I know I played many happy hours of it once our school outlawed D&D groups. This might be a good compromise between Dark's suggestions and something more complicated. It also had a clear set of rules. However, it'd be fairly simple to set up essentially the same system by developing a list of possible traps, spells, monsters, items, etc. Heroes were allowed to keep items from previous adventures.
