Description

This is the first part of a computer trilogy of Germany´s most popular and successful P&P-RPG "Das Schwarze Auge".

You can create a party of six characters to explore a lovely crafted world called Aventurien. Each player is represented by a very detailed skill and attribute system, which is as complex as the well known AD&D game system.

In the first part of the trilogy, it is your task to stop Orkish hordes from plundering human settlements in the borderlands of Aventurien. Therefore you´ll have to recover a mysterious sword forged by cyclops, called "Die Schicksalsklinge (=Blade of Destiny)". Little is known about this sword and it will take a while to discover it and its secrets.

Trivia

Die Schicksalsklinge featured a strange save function. Anytime you saved the game, all characters lost one experience point (which is not much, but still noticeable in the Schwarzes Auge RPG system). Saving a lot would weaken your characters considerably. Needless to say, this method was extremely unpopular. (I don't know if I'd call that "strange"; it seems deliberately constructed to discourage people from saving the game too often as a cheating device. --Editor)
