ood introduction to roleplaying games. It facilitate if the dungeon Master is used to play ordinary roleplaying games.

My own house rules (inspired by ordinary role playing):
1)  The DM (Dungeon Master) is autocratic in all rule interpreting questions.
2)  If DM finds it necessary, he may leave the rules and temporary replace them if he finds that it should favour the game play.
3)  The PC (Player Character) may break the rules, if they can motivate it and the DM finds it can favour the game play. Smart and fun solutions shall always be rewarded, at least the first time.
4)  STY=0 lead to unconsciousness. The Rp will be dead if STY<0. If STY=0, the other PC may try first aid once each (succeeded if D6=1) or a healing potion or healing magic is done on the unconscious PC.
5)  Watch for treasures:  D6<5  (alternative:  not a white shield)
6)  Watch for traps:  D6<6  (alternative: not a black shield)
7)  Equipment may only be bought BETWEEN 2 tasks. It can be sold back for half the price alternatively sold to another PC for an optional price.

There is another Swedish expansion "The Return of the Evil Master" with 4 zombies, 8 skeleton, 4 mummies and new parts to the game board, as well as a task book with 10 new adventures.

This is still a very popular game, although impossible to find in any stores. If you are looking for this game, then it's easiest to try to find it at an auction site like:    www.ebay.com
