Facebook Dungeons and Dragons Tiny Adventures

[kboleen]

Anyone playing D&D Tiny Adventures on Facebook? It's a series of small adventures similar to the old text driven computer games of the 80's, six to eight encounters in length, and very simple, little or no fluff; but strangely addicting. The only downside is five to ten minute breaks between encounters for some reason I haven't figured out yet. Also, it seems to be just a big advertisement for WotC's Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition. But I can overlook that; it's not like you have to go to their website to play.

I couldn't get a link to cooperate so if you have a Facebook account, just search for d&d tiny adventures and it should pop up.

I used to play when it first started but got bored with it after a couple of weeks.

It gets boring over time, I was addicted to it for a bit too.

The waits was what killed me, coupled with the extreme lack of involvement from my side.

ya its pretty boring. They could have done a much better job.
They should make one that you actually play DnD with people on FB.
Would be better than that Farm crap.

I like it...I'm "playing" it right now in fact.

I'm pretty sure they don't expect you to wait around and watch it all the time. I like to check it every few hours or once a day to start a new adventure, and read through the old one. Doesn't take much work, and it plays while you do other stuff (like work, school, etc.).

Also, one neat thing is that you unlock different stuff each time you retire a hero (level 11). So there's always a little something to keep you coming back.

I read the FAQ and the reason for the waits between turns is to assure people don't play it constantly. It's meant to be a filler inbetween work, or school work, or anything else people might be doing. I have it "playing" just about everytime I'm on the computer now. I think the wait enhances the drama (for lack of a better word) of the game and what to expect from the outcome. And above all, it is free.

I played for awhile, got kinda bored of it. It would be cool to see a heroscape game of some kind be developed for facebook. Heck maybe a pretty simplistic for of scape top down just hex spaces with numbers in them to represent height, make them different colors, have symbols for trees, and use hex shaped pieces (picture of the figure), could be kinda cool.
