I manged to get the tape daeck versionof thsi old game more for purpose of wanting to own a copy of this game ( It's a collecters Item.) rather than wanting to play it. which it is alittle annoying after awhile.
Anyway, 2000Ad Online have all those 2000ADd related emulated games ready for download somewhere on their website.
I'll look for exact page it it was on later.

I figured you liked or would like reading Slaine ( Being part of 2000AD.) and I remember you commented that you had alot of difficulty obtaining old Slaine Progs and graphic novels.
I guess it's handy to not like something that you may have trouble finding in easy distribution.

You must confuse with someone else. The only comics I was suggested to buy from Toothill is Warrior Dawn but I did't bought it yet because I am no true comics lover (though I have Druuna and bought the Conan's Dark Horse reprint).Standing-Stone said:
I just came to know Slaine with the RPG in fact.

well, You did say it here that 'your not a true fan because you don't collect the comics.'
( I what you said.)

Hi,
I am not a true fan because I don't have any of the comics, nor did I know about it before Moogose published the game.
Anyway it has much Celtic things in it, much more than Gurps Celtic Myth for example. Earth has a real power; it (she) gives the EP (that is the magic point) through dolmens as well as the warping which makes warriors invicible. Druids have power of the blessing/cursing and elements very unlike D&D.
The setting is totally Celtic. Main villains are the Drunes, a decadent tribe, and the Fomorians, as well as EL-creatures.
There are rules for Enech (honor/reputation) and taunting before battle (reminiscent of the Braveheart movie).
In fact the Slaine D20 were somewhat different from the usual rules (there are magic points for spell casting and these points are limited - usually 6-12) and it shouldn't be difficult to play them with RQ rules.
I don't know if many material will be published under these rules but I suggest you buy the horned god campaign (in 4 96-pages books). It is about collecting magic stones and unifying tribes against a king that don't want to retire.
If you look in this forum, you'll easily find some review/comments about the game.

I myself I would not be giving this game the time of day without being haivng first been well aquainted with it's background story.
( I what you said.)

Your quote is right.Standing-Stone said:
I bought Slaine because I was interested by the Celtic setting above all and knew that it was different from the usual d20 rules.
I don't know if you have any of the Slaine RPG books, but they are well wirtten at explaining everything. Ian Sturrock did a great job indeed.

think you both are right but coming from completly differant directions as slaine has 2 man camps of support
the first are those who love the slaine comics(2000AD) and that is fine and most have vast stores of old progs to use as source material(ian sturrock was of this camp)
the second group is those who love the celtic backgroumd as slaine is the best celtic game by far and these people normally have books of history,celtic novels and a love of all things celtic to draw as source(belive mogoose acolyte is more of this group ie cult books + more about fey,not following canon for adventures etc)
both these strands are right and a bit of cross over is great but both play the greatest celtic game ever invented which is still being added to,so be happy everyone is differant and pity the masses who have yet to discover slaine 8)

I played the emulation for abit and didn't like it much. The control was terrible and the sprites weren't very inspiring.
