Official Release of 'To Be King' Fantasy Adventure Game

After 30 years of designing, multiple versions and countless revisions and modifications, I’ve finally publicly released my magnus opus, “To Be King”.

This module is a grand fantasy, adventure, campaign style board game inspired by games like D&D and Talisman but without the need for a game master. And with the billions of possible combinations of events that can take place during a game, it’s vastly replayable. My friends and I have been playing with private versions for decades and we still play as often as we can.

The To Be King module page will have a main ZIP package which contains the base module, 2 map file extensions and a rule book in HTML format. Additional map file extensions will be posted and I’ll create new ones occasionally.

I’ve set up a To Be King Main Page on my website with files, info and screenshots and a TBK Forum dedicated to the game (as well as other stuff). I have a Ventrilo server that TBK players are welcome to use. Details in the ReadMe file in the game package.

Being as I’m retired, I have a lot of free time and an open schedule. I’ll be glad to join you for a campaign or two and I’d be glad to teach new players and offer assistance.

Let’s have an adventure!

Two new map file extensions have been included on the module page and the web site - Map06 and Map07

Enjoy!

I’ve added new map extensions 8, 9 and 10 to the module page and the main website for TBK_5.5.1. I probably won’t make anymore for this version unless there’s a request for more maps or custom maps ..I can do that, too.

If anyone’s interested in playing or learning how, feel free to drop me a note. I’m always up for a game.

Thanks for sharing your great work. I enjoy creating AI art just for fun, especially since even my stick figures look bad. It’s nice to see AI art enabling you to share this game.

Thanx for the note. Yeah, the game’s been sitting in limbo for so long. It’s a real treat to be able to fill it with art and get it out there for people to play it.
