Hi all,
What started off as me emailing a few people for interviews snowballed into me trying to hunt down literally EVERYBODY online who has had some kind of connection to gamebooks. So I've made a few changes to the line up. I have sent off interviews and already got some back, so this is what the line up currently looks like. Basically, if I have my way, the April A to Z will be like an assembling of The Avengers for gamebooks.

This is getting very exciting. I'm looking forward to April with great anticipation. Until then, happy gamebooking!
Good luck in this challenge!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed your new Gamebook (the Fool God). It is posible to play it "as it is" or do I need especial rules?
Also, good luck with the temple of the Fool God!

Hi Ikaros! Glad to see your comments again. Temple of the Fool God uses 7.5 edition Tunnels and Trolls which you have to buy but you can get the 5th edition rules for free here http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=54407
ReplyDeleteand they are not too different. You cast spells from WIZ in 7.5 edition. If you played as a warrior, these rules would suffice.
Thanks for the info!
