Specially designed for comprehensive ease of play, APPLE LANE sets a new standard for fantasy role-playing games, presenting not only treasure and gore but situations and non-player characters of humor and interest: perfect situations for turning on players new to gaming! GRINGLE'S PAWNSHOP: a crafty old Rune Lord needs a few Adventurers to guard his shop against more than he had divined... THE RAINBOW MOUNDS: the Posse sets out to clip the ears of Whiteye and his gang: they find more in the hideout than Whiteye knew of...

3.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to Runequest, August 26, 2009

This review is from: Apple Lane: Two Beginning Scenarios - Gringle's Pawnshop & The Rainbow Mounds (Runequest) (Paperback)
This was the scenario that first introduced me to Runequest. Its simplicity is both a strength and a weakness. While it is easy to run, easy to understand, and easy to adapt to new players. On the other hand, it is not the most robust or interesting scenario. Still, it is so well written and focused that it is the perfect scenario to use for players first campaign using the Runequest system. While the retro, typewritten feel is cool, this one could use a modern re-write and updated graphics.

Now if I could just remember the words to that song our DM wrote to the tune of Penny Lane..."In Apple Lane there is a trollkin with an arbalest,and a Pawn Shoppe owner with a tale of woe..."
