Post your book to the webmaster:

info@ffproject.com

And he may put it on the download page and maybe even make it into an interactive adventure as well. However, he normally only does this books in the FF style.

Windhammer Competition

Offering up Warwheel for this year's Windhammer competition. Somewhat more traditional than last year's Gem Runner (now revised and available here as a PDF) but it will present a challenge not seen in a long time...

Just send it in document form or zipped up or win-rarred and that's that.

My two cents on the question of how to turn in the gamebook: if your in word 2010 (or 2007 for that matter) you may want to save your file as a word 2003 document or earlier, as there are a lot of people who use the older versions of word. I can't speak for the webmaster, but it might be an extra step worth taking.

'...but it will present a challenge not seen in a long time...'

I can't wait to see what this will be.

I'm looking forward to Windhammer this year even more so than in previous years. It seems that many people are talking about it on the twitterverse and also the Tin Man is involved. Good times.

Server Migration

Apparently, on Monday June 4th, the web hosts will be "performing a migration of this server to a new server which features more powerful hardware."

So if odd things happen next week, that's probably the reason.

Hi.

On audiogames.net recently, one of our members notified me of a site who provide games which, while not actually gamebooks in the traditional sense of Fighting fantasy, lone wolf etc, are near enough too them to make little difference.

The site is http://www.choiceofgames.com/

As you might imagine, these are games that are based on the old principles of cyoa. However unlike the original Cyoa books, (and indeedunlike a couple of cyoa websites I've found online), they are written by serious, professional authors, with the intent that they use the cyoa format to explore characterization and conflict.

Each game has stats, and the players choices alter these stats. The stats are largely what makes up whether you succeed or fail at choices, but rather than being rpg like strength, dexterity etc, the stats are used to defign your character.

For instance, the game choice of dragons, a game where you play as! a dragon has a brutality vs cunning stat, that decides the way you go about life as well as your prowess in open battlee. The game choice of broardsides, a naval themed game set in the time of napoleon, has a reputation stat to determine just how well your fellow navy officers regard you, as well as a loyalty stat to defign your own commitment to king and country.

So, it's characterization that is really the thing here, rather than random choice, ---- heck there are even games in the intreague and romance genre (though romance set around court politics and complicated political power play).

The site choiceof games site also offers the game scripting tools for writing your own games, as well as hosting a good few user submitted choiceof games in addition to your own.

The games are freely available online, but can be bought on several other platforms including Ios, android, and even kindle. Also, as will be obvious from the fact that I came upon these with relation to audiogames.net, they are accessible to screen reading software as well.

Hope people enjoy them, sinse the quality of the writing in those I've tried is great!!

All the best,

Dark.

Choice of Games is pretty neat, I posted a link to the site on here a month or 2 back.

Hi Phil,

Sometimes, when I need to check something I've written but can't remember the particular reference, I use the 'Find' box. The words you type in might be 'wounded soldier', a name, or something else unique to that scenario. It could result in several or a dozen instances - but I've found the 'find' option quite handy when checking and/or correcting work in my gamebooks.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to take a moment to say hi, and invite people to check out a project I'm working on.

fightyourfantasy.blogspot.co.uk/fightyourfantasy.blogspot.co.uk/

This is a blog for the Fighting Fantasy series, which I had a large collection of when I was a kid. Over time I've wanted to build up my collection again, and intend to do play-throughs of each book as I gather them.

So far we have travelled through 8 of the books, with many more to go. So please join me on the adventure.

Best wishes, all.

I actually did try the find option but I still couldn't discover the correct location :(

Oh dear...then you'll probably have to go through it from the start until you stumble across the right reference. No other way! Painstaking - as Vampires often say!

Planet Of The Spiders

After much procrastination, I just started the adventures by Ulysses Ai, starting with "Wrong way ...". I just finished "Planet of the Spiders". They are much better than I had hoped, and wanted to just say thank you for providing them here free of use. I look forward to trying the rest.

Great job Ulysses!

@Glen.

Thanks. Hopefully I'll have Episode 7 ready for you by the time you get there (read slowly!)

@Glen- watch out for the Hyper-Trout. It's evil. The other books are basically just a walk in the park compared to that one.

Thanks for the warnings!

I have a few questions. It seems like in several places the online version of the gamebook differs (or is just broken) compared to the written gamebook. I have a terrible memory so have forgotten most instances of this. Should I note them here?

One particularly frustrating one at the moment is:

All these things make the online version quite frustrating :(.
