Originally published during the adventure gamebook boom of the 1980s, Dice Man has never been reprinted in its entirety before, but now the complete run of the popular magazine is presented in this massive collection.
Using dice and a pencil, you will become Judge Dredd as he faces off against the Dark Judges, or guide Nemesis the Warlock as they race through the Torture Tube, or help Sláine steal the Cauldron of Blood from the Tower of Glass!
Written by John Wagner, Pat Mills, and Simon Geller, with art by Bryan Talbot, Garry Leach, Graham Manley, John Ridgway, Kevin O’Neill, Mark Farmer, Mike Collins, Nik Williams, Steve Dillon, David Lloyd, Glenn Fabry, and David Pugh, this is the definitive collection of these fantastic dice-based role-playing games.
Choose-your-own-adventure type stories evolved into the excellent Fighting Fantasy book series, and ‘The Way of the Tiger’ gamebook series, but Diceman took it to the stratosphere, and stands as one of the best things under the 2000ad banner.
Playing as Torquemada running around in a Bosch painting, or selecting your Blitzspear speed in the Torture Tube, each story has an allround fun feel about it.
Highly recommended.
User name checks out.
I have most of the originals but will be picking this up soon. Might as well do it while I remember.
I have all the originals from 1986, but was very tempted to pick this up.
Mainly because it would be 1.4 kg of the most condensed thrill-power available.
