Barbarian Prince is a solitaire game of heroic adventure in a forgotten age of barbarism and sorcery. It also has a reputation as the most deadly solo game out there.
In this first video, we have a quick overview, set up the character and take our first steps into the world of Barbarian Prince.

This came out the year I was born. Yep, a prince was born alright! :)

@lone_adventurer Месяц назад

Haha, well you should know that things don't normally work out for the Barbarian Prince 😉

@wettamlhorus1363 Год назад

Very interesting. I can't wait to follow the adventures of the barbarian prince. Thank you for these beautiful fun discoveries. Good game to you...

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Thanks for watching - I'm looking forward to the adventures too!

@batshevabattu8560 5 месяцев назад

I’ve never played any roleplaying game so I’m watching this to see what it’s like… It’s so cool… but almost as complicated and eventful as my real life… almost! 😂😂 Really cool to watch though, thanks for that!

@lone_adventurer 5 месяцев назад

Haha, honestly this is probably not the best one to start with! Great game though and certainly a good one if you want a game to match the random brutality of real life ;)

@batshevabattu8560 5 месяцев назад

@@lone_adventurer 🤣 To be honest, I can only be luckier in life than playing that game… I’m thinking of playing it so my life feels easier in comparison! 🤣🤣🤣

@Chaoclypse Год назад

Duuude! I was just about to make some videos about how to integrate this with the Black Sword Hack RPG. It's BRUTAL though!

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Oh that sounds cool! Black sword hack new edition is so pretty - was definitely tempted by it! Yup, super brutal. You feel a real sense of achievement if you manage to do pretty much anything 😂

@soloramblings Год назад

I remember playing this when it came out in Ares magazine. Glad to see what is old becoming new again. The re-skin is really nice. It looks really good all freshened up. I'll have to download it and give it a go for nostalgia sake.

@lone_adventurer Год назад

It's very cool that a game that has been around as long as this still feels relevnat and is still fun to play! Thanks for watching!

I bought the original box set at The Complete Stratagist in Davy, Fl way back in the early '80's. It came with a neat looking 15mm mini that looked similar to the box illustration.

Righteous! Thanks for making another great video.

No problem - thanks for writing another great comment 😁

@Robert-fw1we Год назад

Excellent! Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of this. Since you asked us to point out any rule mistakes, you forgot to check for "e002 Mercenary Royal Guardsmen" while north of the river. Keep it up!

@lone_adventurer Год назад

You'll be seeing more 🙂 thanks for the heads-up re the Guardsmen!

@glowingturtle9673 Год назад

Great video! Love this game. It actually inspired me to make a western version called The Drifter. Thanks!

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Oh cool - I've got copies of The Drifter and Star Drifter waiting in a print shop online basket as we speak 😁

@glowingturtle9673 Год назад

@@lone_adventurer Oh wow, thanks! I hope you get some enjoyment out of them.

@Genghis-Pawn Год назад

I've long considered making a PNP of this one, but I would like to put some time into making a nice, larger copy of the map matching the original design, and never quite got it to where I like. Might check it out again...

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Agreed - it would be lovely to have a great big, nicely printed map. Not sure I'd have the table space for it though :)

@Genghis-Pawn Год назад

@@lone_adventurer I re-found the map variant I'd most like to print up. I can't post links in youtube comments, but search for Android Arts + Barbarian Prince, then scroll ~80% of the way down the page to find a link to a re-worked map that's absolutely glorious.

@rylklee Год назад

This might not be possible, but the looks of the map has me thinking it would be possible to adapt the map in wilderness survival to use in BP.

@Daniel-Strain Год назад

Love it! Looking forward to the next one thanks :)

@michaelhill6453 Год назад

Yep, I owned this, I think it was 1983? It had a nice board and a lead figure. Nice.

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Yup, 1983 sounds about right. A shame you don't still have the original edition!

@artistpoet5253 Год назад

I'm amazed that I never heard of this game before. Was it a UK release only? Kind of feels a little like Tunnels and Trolls solo game books.

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Not too sure where it was released. I only know about it because I trawl youtube for videos about games like this!

@palo569 Год назад

how do you bind your books from pdf?

@lone_adventurer Год назад

I just use these plastic slot things that you slide the pages into. If I remember, I'll include a closer look in the next video!

@nodtothestrange1008 6 месяцев назад

Did you get the rulebook printed and bound at a shop, or do it yourself? I'm curious because I'm from the UK too and I always see Americans talking online about how they print their rulebooks at shops like Staples over there really cheaply, but when I asked my local print shop for a quote to print and bind a 100+ page rulebook they quoted over £1 a page. Crazy!

@lone_adventurer 6 месяцев назад

These rules I printed out myself. It took a while, though, and honestly they are not particularly user-friendly as they are! I often do printing using doxzoo, a by-mail printing company here in the uk. They are great - can recommend. Check out one of my print haul videos to see the quality. I'm actually about to print myself some new copies of Barbarian Prince with them, as it happens - someone has put together some really nicely-formatted copies, which are available in the Barbarian Prince facebook group.

Could you help me, where to find this kind of map? I only knew the original, big A3 sized version.

Hi Lone Adventurer !! Many people warned me that this game was very difficult to win. In fact almost impossible. I have tried and I always fail. But aside from that, there is one thing about the dynamics that I don't understand: what is the reason for such a large map. In the end, everything depends on being lucky in the dice rolls and being in one hex or another has no influence. I mean you have the same chance of finding a good treasure by searching in a ruin near the north or in another near the south. Or the same chances of being attacked by wolves in a forest in the east or in another in the west. That's why I don't quite understand the motivation to travel across the map. I don't know if I'm applying the rules wrong or if I've missed something. I admit that I don't speak English very well and I may not be understanding the rules when reading them. How do you see Lone Adventure?

@lone_adventurer 11 месяцев назад

Hi there! Indeed it's a tricky game to do well in, but that's one of the reasons many people love it 🙂 In terms of moving around the map, I would say one of the main reasons is getting to the different settlements. Some of them have unique rulers and associated events that might happen - like Drogat castle and Huldra castle. Also, there's temples you can get to and desert regions that take some time to reach! But I'm far from an expert on this game, even so, I hope that helps!

@wbbartlett Год назад

Getting lost crossing a river must be the height of wilderness incompetence! You're on one bank or the other. This prince is definitely a pampered palace dweller!

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Haha - good point!

@HyperRogue-pp6di Год назад

I think it might represent failure to find a good place to ford the river.

About the combat result table, my impression during the play was that the unpredictability makes it more fun. Sometimes you roll low, but the outcome is good, at other times you roll high, but the outcome is not so good. It surprised and made us laugh a lot (we played together with a friend). I just wish there were more games like this.

@lone_adventurer Год назад

Completely agree, the randomness in the combat is fun! There are a couple of games like this, I think. Most prominently, there's Drifter and Star Drifter (neither of which I have played yet).
