As in agp... a gp... that could be funny in an alternate universe, mebbe (in an infinite multiverse, <b><i>everyone</i></b> can hear you scream?).<br /><br />The English and the French in a <b>fantasy</b> setting? Are you missing something? I guess so, seeing as you've asked. <i>Battlelore</i> is set in a fantasy variant of medieval Europe: a <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uchronia">uchronia</A> in fact- apparently a specific kind of alternate history.<br /><br />The 'historical' elements therefore serve to locate the uchronia in its time period, thus setting the baseline for the conventional elements of the game, and defining it as classic high medieval fantasy. They also provide a hook for some of the scenarios. But don't be mislead into thinking that this makes <i>Battlelore</i> a historical game in disguise. It's not. Lore (ie. the classic D&D-style fantasy stuff) is so central to the game that <i>Battlelore</i> is a poor cousin to C&C:A if you play without the Lore deck. ;)"A bit political on yer ass!"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14159828235164365125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15376630.post-47273440748107393002006-12-08T17:42:00.000+00:002006-12-08T17:42:00.000+00:00OK, so Battlelore is the fantasy one, yes?
