#8-#20/31
Finally got back into this, just couldn’t leave the challenge uncompleted, though obviously I’m cheating by rehashing classic 80s sword and sorcery movie characters as Heroes for Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2e. For this instalment, we look at the following:
KRULL (1983, dir. Peter Yates)
“A world light-years beyond your imagination!”
“This it was given me to know, that many worlds have been enslaved by the Beast and his army, the Slayers. And this too, was given me to know, that the Beast would come to our world, the world of Krull, and his Black Fortress would be seen in the land…”
