Hi David,

I have found generally games that use a physical token for metagame rewards, such as chips or dice, work really well for handing out rewards while not interrupting the play flow.  Because you can hand over a token while someone is talking, or you, yourself are talking, it's a good way to communicate on a parallel level.  And, finally, because it's a physical token, the person doesn't have to shift gears to mark down something on their sheet- they just put it in a pile or in a cup while dialogue is still happening.

Hi David,

As one of the players mentioned in the Lendrhald game and the Telvar game, I would be remiss not to link the online summaries of the aforementioned games, written at the time in 1998:

http://blog.telvar.net/defenders/

In particular Dave is referring to summaries # 27- 34.

Incidentally, that's quite good recall for a game that happened 10 years ago that you were new to!

The entire site of summaries (including various parties of different time periods) can be found at:

As for impressions on the gameplay, I generally think Dave is spot on.  I'll have to mull over these discussion points.  Good work on Lendrhald so far!

I would love to reply to your PM, Dave, but I can't seem to send personal messages?
