I've recently picked up Defenders of the Realm here in the UK and I just wanted to take my hat off to Richard Launius and say a massive thanks for designing one of the best games I have ever played.

I own a hundred or so games (am in the process now of clearing the decks a little and selling a few) and I have to say that I haven't played a game in a long time that is as engaging, exciting or addictive as DOTR.

I love everything about it from the theme to the artwork (Larry Elmore rocks, I'm a child of the 80's and remember his stuff from D&D).

The mechanics of the game are fast paced and really keeps you on your toes, knowing that a wrong decision will have you swamped in minions and taint crystals in no time.

Keep up the great work and I look forward to the future expansions.

^This.

I plan on buying every expansion for this game as soon as it hits the online store, so hurry it up!

I feel exactly the same way - my copy arrived on Friday and I can't heap enough praise on it! Defenders offers something many co-ops don't give you: real meaningful choices.

Thank you for the nice compliment - you are too kind.

I am glad that you enjoy Defenders of the Realm. It certainly remains one of the most fun games I play, and that is after hundreds of gaming sessions.

Welcome to the Realm, we can always use another great hero.

Richard
