Originally published during the adventure gamebook boom of the 1980s, Dice Man has never been reprinted in its entirety before, but now the complete run of the popular magazine is presented in this massive collection.

Using dice and a pencil, you will become Judge Dredd as he faces off against the Dark Judges, or guide Nemesis the Warlock as they race through the Torture Tube, or help Sláine steal the Cauldron of Blood from the Tower of Glass!

Written by John Wagner, Pat Mills, and Simon Geller, with art by Bryan Talbot, Garry Leach, Graham Manley, John Ridgway, Kevin O’Neill, Mark Farmer, Mike Collins, Nik Williams, Steve Dillon, David Lloyd, Glenn Fabry, and David Pugh, this is the definitive collection of these fantastic dice-based role-playing games.

    Review:

    This is something different if you are interested in the 2000AD comics and want to have a new experience with the characters.

    I would say it is half way between reading a normal storing and roleplaying as you have to maintain a character sheet with figures, but not so complicated as a traditional pen and paper RPG. Maybe this one is good for a gateway book if you are getting into those sorts of games or if you already play those and want something a bit different.

    This is also ideal if you don’t have a lot of people to play with and want something just to entertain yourself for an hour or so.
