A Fighting Fantasy Journey
Book twenty nine: Midnight Rogue
I have fond memories of Midnight Rogue from childhood. I was drawn to the idea of playing a Rogue character who is a thief going through an initiation to join the thieves guild. It was also great to revisit port blacksand one of the best locations in Allansia. Written by Graeme Davis who worked on warhammer fantasy role play and I get that feel playing this game. We have to choose sone thief skills and limited by how much we can stash in our swag bag.Artist John sibbick does the cover and interior art and captures the atmosphere very well. We slso get to see our hero on the cover
We are sent on a mission to find the eye of the Basilisk a rare gem owned by a merchant named brass who pops up in the book Blacksand. I guess this book hasn't been reprinted in recent years because we don't want kids aspiring to be burglars like I wanted to be
We get to explore the city and we get a map to search for clues to discover the gems location 
Jib jib a living alarm. There is a mini available of this which I need
Not the old snake in the lick trick. I love seeing your own hands on lots of images trying to steal things. Sneaking around people's houses is a great change from hacking your way round a dungeon 
We still get a bit of a dungeon crawl to reach the gem. 
No cheating in this game....not that I was...honest
