£ímdallíon probably first originated from a board game called Hero Quest, which some people may remember. A long time ago, some friends and I would sit around and play that game for hours. Eventually we ran out of quests that were written in the quest book that came with the game. So to solve this problem, I created new additional quests with additional stories based on the plot to the game. This continued for so long of a time that the plot I had created took on
life of its own and no longer resembled the origianal design for the
game. Later years as we got more into AD&D and video game RPGs our game
was set aside due to lack of time. But, because of AD&D I got the idea
to recreate the old plot again using AD&D rules. So that was how
£ímdallíon originally began. I decided that £ímdallíon would make a
better video game than a board game. But, AD&D rules are too complicated
and advanced to use in a video game and did not work well in £ímdallíon
either. So I invented a new set of rules which slightly resembled the
less complicated rules of Hero Quest which we played so long ago. Soon
as the plot becaming larger I added more and more rules based on the
simple original so that eventually the entire game was something
completely original. £ímdallíon went on for a few years and the first
two and a half volumes (See The Story So Far) were played out on a
board. Unfortunately as everyone got older we didn't have time for the
time consuming £ímdallíon anymore. Still I continued to write the plot
and rules. That leads us to today where I have created this website to
host all the ideas I have created and so that other people may become
interested in it and offer suggestions and help. So remember to take a
look around and if you do have any comments or suggestions I would
appreciate it if you E-Mail me at the address below. Thank you and enjoy
your stay.
