They are generally told in the 2nd Person perspective (ie YOU turn right, YOU fight the orc). They are often based in a fantasy or sci-fi genre. There is no guarantee the hero will achieve a successful conclusion.
Why are gamebooks great compared to games or books?
Gamebooks are great compared to games or books because you have a sense of freedom & control not present in books & they require little playing space & no other players (usually) making them more intimate & less demanding than many games.
What is your favourite forum/group/online community for gamebooks?
Project Aon is my fave online community for gamebooks.

What has the internet community brought to gamebooks?
Project Aon has revitalised the Lonewolf books & created a richer, shared experience for a previously solitary pursuit.
What’s the best thing that has happened due to being in a forum?
Being able to play all the 'Grey Star' books was a great perk of coming onto this Forum.
