Arnold Hendrick's Barbarian Prince is a solitaire story driven fantasy adventure game.
Barbarian Prince has a fierce reputation for being hard to win but still a fun game to play.
Most of the Dwarfstar back catalog are now available in authorised PnP editions and BP comes in its original format and also in a fully revised graphic edition.

Barbarian Prince Graphic Redesign Counters
Todd Sanders made a wonderful graphic redesign of Barbarian Prince. I finished all but the counters back in January. Finally got the counters done in Feb. They were done on a die cutter that a friend has access to.
The location counters I decided to make round so they fit perfectly in the hexes on the map. Much nicer looking then squares!

3rd Game: Barbarian Prince
● Info: Solo RPG adventure game
Reason for making this game? Simple, I fell in love with Todd's revamped artwork.
● Materials: 14gsm paper
1mm cardboard
● Technique: Printed every single files (HQ option on printer) on 140gsm. I've had troubles splitting the A3 map size into two A4 size, my free adobe reader didn't provide the option. Tried it with other softwares (forgot the names but it was mentioned here on BGG), but it requires image file instead of PDF. So Todd has been super kind enough to help me out to solve the problem. Thanks very much for going through all the trouble, I appreciate it.
So far, that's it for now. Will update the progress.
●●● Update 1: I've now laminated, trimmed and round cornered the two A4 maps, character tracking sheet, enemy tracker, travel tables and items.
●●● Update 2: I love looking at the thick maps of my just completed Pocket Civ, therefore I decided to extend the love to my Barbarian Prince project as well. I've substituted the already completed laminated maps with a new map that is mounted on a thick cardboard. It looks and feels better. Not to forget that I also taped the map (before cutting) with a clear tape to give a layer of protection.
I finished the project with cutting out the tokens that is backed with the same cardboard, and also taped (before cutting; refer picture below). Components and maps are then sorted for a photoshoot. Finally, tokens are then bagged and stored.
It's amazing how simple it is to make this game. With minimal components and little time, you can easily make this one in a day, except that I took like 2-3 weeks to get everything done, silly.
● Photos:
● Status: Incomplete Finally completed. Yeay!

which seems to be all the hotness right now 
Great job, Todd!
Just started making this yesterday. Everything's printed, now I just need to laminate the map and trackers and I'm off to have a grand adventure!
I had purchased some mounted gameboards from spielmaterial some time a go, and I was hoping to mount the map on one of those. Unfortunately that would've required some resizing of the map to make it fit properly. So I'm just going to settle for a laminated map for now...
EDIT: And it's done, now all I need is time to play

Just homebrewed the new-vision version of Barbarian Prince. The map is printed on some nice 192gm/m2 cardboard stock, the player-aids are done on regular 80gm paper then laminated. The counters are cardboard mounted and the rule books ring-bounded and I am using some spare wooden cubes as game markers. The new manual is wonderfully redesign and my easier to navigate than the old version. Playing it now.

My re-visioning of Barbarian Prince
(at least the photos until BGG approves all the files [and a note, there are multiple files in each of the eventual file sections. if you are interested in crafting a copy of the game, wait until i give the all clear])
Complete game and all components. Character/Followers tracking boards and the 4 map boards are full sheet sticker paper mounted to 1/8" hobby plywood. The tracking boards use heavy book tape hinge them together. The rules/events books i have re-designed for easier readability and have included both single and double sided versions.
I painted a barbarian miniature for my build of the game and also used some building meeples I had to represent the castle and temple locations on the map.
The 6 double sided travel table cards, each mounted to double thickness card stock for a heavier feel.
Close up of the Character and Followers tracking sheets. Instead of pen and paper I am driving the re-design with eurocubes and counters (so you can know who is in your party of adventurers and what they are carrying). Much less bookkeeping and more in line with the kind of bits we use in games these days.
The new Followers, Location and Item counters for the game with reference numbers to the events and rules. If I've added anything to the game it is these.
Everything packed away in one 9x12 box
much much thanks to those who have collated, added to and corrected everything before i decided to re-design the game. i hope my design might spur some new interest in it.

i will use a bunch of eurocubes in different colors for each of the tracks

I will go with Barbarian Prince. I got a copy of it when I was just out of High school and it was great to play while I was working the night shift for an answering service. Many times I ended up dying on the very first day of the adventure but would start all over again. The randomness made the game change every time. I am surprised that no one has made a small computer version of it (or I have not found it)

This is a classic and favorite of mine so I made it first. BP was truly a "pocket boardgame" as the game included a metal miniature (Cal Arath), fold up cardboard hex game board, rule book, event book, dice and tracking sheet.
Still very popular and still a very good game.

Excellent condition inside and out. This has the two original dice and the pewter Barbarian Prince figure. There are a couple of spots on the box with extremely minor crushing, but this is hardly noticeable. A nice copy of this long OOP game.

Another Dwarfstar micro-game from the early '80s, Outpost Gamma. Excellent condition inside and out.

Some time ago, I began the first of many "Solo Game" periods, where I'd make a mad dash for interesting solo titles. For some reason, I really enjoy them, though I have to admit I go in and out of it (sometimes I won't play a Solo game for months, other times I can't sleep until I finish 'that last move') It was during my first of these "Solo jaunts" that I learned about Barbarian Prince. I'd heard about it in "Murphy's Rules" (which has several comedic references to the game) but I didn't realize it was actually a solo board game; had always figured it for a role playing game.
ANYWAY... enough of my blather.
I picked this one up in a Math Trade run by BGG's own Jack Kaye. It's a relatively rare game, and this particular piece was is more rare as it includes the sought after metal Barbarian Prince miniature, in true 25mm scale, which sometimes sells for far more than the game itself.
I haven't got this game to the table yet, but I do hope to do so, soon. One thing holding me back is that I'd like to paint the Prince, but I've currently got an Israelite Army on the table, followed by a pair of Blood Bowl teams... you know how it goes if you're into miniatures! So, this may wait until I've had time to paint up the Prince, and then it's off to FANTASTIC ADVENTURE!

Re-Design
I've been working on a re-design of this game for a couple of weeks now. This has been a fun job for me. In part, I undertook the re-design to research this type of story game and be able to take it apart and put it back together, to help with my next game design.
My goals have included making the rules and events books easier to read, designing a set of counters to assist in-game bookkeeping and re-designing the map for visual clarity.
I am modest enough to say this re-design is not in the same class as the amazing work on other venerable games like Merchant of Venus and Magic Realm, but I think I've done the game justice.
