Hyaku no Sekai no Monogatari: The Tales on a Watery Wilderness is published by ASK, which was released in Japan in 1991.
You roll dice and traverse the land, entering towns, passing through forests and killing small woodland animals, finding treasure, spending treasure, losing treasure, and enduring fetch quest after fetch quest to become strong enough to accomplish the scenario’s main goal. There are two ways to win: Accomplish the main goal (there’s three scenarios: slay the dragon, find the legendary treasure, and rescue the princess), or have the most points (gold, equipment, etc) after all the rounds are over. Random people will give you experience, you always tend to find items lying around on the road.. It’s always completely random and fun. Battles are pretty typical RPG stuff, you pick the option to fight, magic, etc. and the combat only lasts a turn before it’s the next person’s turn to play. It’s great fun, so play the damn game.
