Terrible mechanics, impossible to win even with 12 luck because it's tested ALL THE TIME.
Obviously this was never play tested. Not so much a FF adventure as a novel with annoying and impossible dice rolls.

@Anon,
I apologise for the frequency of dice rolls. However, it's not impossible to win as the above stars testify. Granted, TCOD is fairly hard to complete - but surely that's better than a really easy gamebook? How many fans have complained about such? Also, please bear in mind that, while it's a hobby done out of choice, amateur writers spend many hours and much effort completing their work. Even paid and published authors/artists have feelings. I've been through all this before and now I'm going to say this for the last time: CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM PLEASE!

Douglas, whether the comment was constructive or negative you learn from it. Why wasn't the gamebook liked? Maybe there's room for improvement next time. I always seem to get terrible reviews on stuff I've worked very hard on but I try to improve myself and try to understand what it is that made the person who read my gamebook dislike it so much? Of course, now I could really give a rat's ass about it all but I guess getting negative remarks on your work can strike a harsh cord.

Did you complete it Tammy??
Also I'd love a review of the book.

I've been bogged down with overkill working hours and sleep. I'll try to get to it next week if possible. Sorry about that Mc.

Quick question: Anyone know of any fan made Fighting Fantasy set in the Old World and more specifically, Gallantaria? Asking due to possible inclusion of material in a book.

After consulting Titannica, discovered quite a few Jonathan Green titles are set in the Old World, besides those written by Stephen Hand, also as co-writer with Jim Bambra 'Dead of Night' and Keith Martin's 'Vault of the Vampire'. Sorcery! was also set in the Old World. However, the website doesn't mention any fan-written gamebooks within the 'Old World' section. Not sure if any fan-written titles were developed as prequels or sequels to any of the above publications. Perhaps somebody knows something...? I'll have another check.

Just checked the list of 'Fan-written Fighting Fantasy Adventures'. There are eight titles I've found, listing them below:
The Race From Earth End (Sorcery! 2.5)
Legacy of the Vampire (Sequel)
Groovy Mortals
Honour and Glory
Isle of the Cyclops
Outsider!
Realm of the Vampire (Sequel)
Tales from the Bird Islands
