Hey guys, not sure if anyone is still active in this forum but really appreciate all the effort put into here, especially pouncingpanda's effort to continue and complete "Blood of the Mandrakes" One quick note on instant death paragraphs, I read a few reviews of FF books and by far one of the worst seems to be #30 Chasms of Malice, which I haven't played. One of the many complaints was that there are about 50 instant death paragraphs, so to concur with what philsadler said ealier, even 40 is 10% of total paragraphs which seems to be still too much. Perhaps 25-30 would be fair, which amounts to about 6% to 7.5%

Even aside from the instant death sections, there are sections where you die if you roll a double or from losing a one strike combat.

Oh Jesus. Did anyone actually play those sections honestly? I just ignored such blatant, unfair, unplaytested bullshit.

Has anyone kept on his hard drive pouncingpanda's Blood of the Mandrake PDF by chance?
