Way of the Tiger! and Blood Sword has a lot of options, but I guess if you can't think of options for combat, it's probably best to just make them short.

When I first started playing FF in the mid 1980s I couldn't believe you had to keep rolling dice over and over again, and quickly decided not to bother.Paltoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961821462981797028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417337570309175061.post-88436186512882990082015-06-29T15:27:58.425+01:002015-06-29T15:27:58.425+01:00That's interesting.

Maybe if they'd included a cool-looking d12 with each book...<br /><br />My beef with the combat in every gamebook I've played is that there are no decisions and it takes way too long. Drinking a potion to prevent death isn't a decision, it's a gimme. Even DestinyQuest has virtually no actual decisions in combat, and every combat lasts dozens of rolls. Even my nephew, who is more easily amused, got bored quick, and we went to automatically winning combat, which ruins the excitement of getting/choosing new equipment later.Horace Toryshttp://horacetorys.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.com
