With all the talk about the choiceofgames, I thought it might be fun to have a discussion about the gamebooks over on www.ffproject.com. The site now tracks endings, an will tell you when you reach the optimal one, so how many have people done?
Over the years I have finishe Trial of Alabar's tomb, Rebels of the dark chasms, Bad moon rising, Impudent peasant, The Black lobster, The cold heart of Chaos, Isle of the cyclopse, Hunger of the wolf, Guarden of bones, Tomb of the ancients, A strange week for king Melchian the dispicable, Nye's song, Escape newberg keep, and just the other day sharkbate's revenge. I've also nearly finished (as in got to the very end but failed), soul tracker, the ravages of fate and in the footsteps of a hero, but I need to complete those properly. Liekwise, I keep trying with wrong way go back because I want to try the rest of the series, but end up in severe trouble each time, which is why I haven't played other books. There are of course lots more I've had a go at and done less well, such as diamond key and a shadow in the north, not to mention the nastiness of hellfire, but I don't think that is too bad going. So how have other people done? Btw if people don't know ffproject, it is a site who have a very good selection of gamebooks by various ameter authors often using some varient of the fighting fantasy rules. The site will handle all the dice and stats for you, you just need to choose links. It's been going for at least 10 years and new books get added frequently. Of course they range in length and quality, and in genre from modern day horror to fantasy and both serious and commic sf, but they are generally very good fun, and several are exceptional in quality, I'd definitely recommend them, indeed I once did a podcast review of Impudent peasant from the ffproject site which you can find on https://www.sendspace.com/pro/6gsse9 So what books have people completed? Beware the grue! Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
