Ok, I know there’s already been all kinds of arguments and crap about Runebound in Trashdome so I don’t want to open up old arguments.  But with the latest Trashdome comparing Sci-Fi to Fantasy, I figured I’d take a crack at talking about fantasy adventure games.

I love adventure games, and I own several of them. Runebound 3rd edition is probably the only one that has the decency to end on time. If an adventure game could offer single session (not campaign) gameplay in an hour, that would be great.
