This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone played this gamebook? It looks like a bigger and slightly more complex FF book, where like an RPG you get special abilities, items and improve your character. You also have maps where you choose your quests, from novice to difficult.

Sounds cool. Wondered if anyone had any thoughts on it.

I heard some good things about it, and I love gamebooks. But the quality of the prose in the free samples on the web page put me off. The page count is really high, and it seems like there's a couple of pages of padding before each choice the reader gets to make. You might like it but I got a bit leery.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.

Although the page count is high, i didn't notice hugely large paragraphs when i flicked through it in the shop.

It's pretty good, it's a bit MMO-like in that each section of the game has a map(There are three main sections), which leads to a number of mini-adventures (Colour coded by their potential difficulty); each mini-adventure is like a ten-to-twnety section Fighting Fantasy game. If you lose all your HP, you get dumped back to town to try again. You collect items as rewards for quests, which buff your stats, and can choose a character class later on.

I got most of the way through the first map (One boss and the final quest yet to do), and thought it was great, but just haven't had the time to get back into it; this is my fault, not the game's.

I'd certainly recommend it to a gamer.

Picked it up today. Looks like there's a hell of a lot to do in it.
