Non-notable game. The only available sources seem to be books by the game's creator and trivial mentions at a few game-related blogs. Fails WP:GNG. - Mr X 22:23, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have added one really good source, so I suspect there is more out there. BOZ (talk) 17:37, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will also note that User:Brainy J added a couple of ref ideas to the article's talk page a couple months ago. I don't have access to either, but I would say this makes the topic WP:GNG-worthy. BOZ (talk) 18:11, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep More sources would be great, but we've at least one very good one and this game has been fairly important in the history of RPGs (he says of personal knowledge). Will change to keep if anyone can find an additional solid source (I can't find anything on the talk page?). I can't find anything on-line that's a RS, but that's not shocking given the age of the game. Hobit (talk) 15:38, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep: you can use this review from RPG.net as well. Searching around it appears this game is widely believed to have exerted a lot of influence on later RPG battle systems.AioftheStorm (talk) 18:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
