Don't know about that. I've read criticism before on other books here about being too wordy and I often agree.

Anyhow, has anyone ever tried starting from the "end" and going backwards? Did you think it worked out in the end? I'm trying to find the best way to do this. I'm about 20 refs in by now.

Hunger Of The Wolf

Really good book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I often wonder if an actual barbarian would refer to himself as a 'barbarian' though.

This was one the good ones to be honest. It never got frustrating, the difficulty felt just right.

Having a good time! I still prefer house of pain so far but it’s very fun.

Typos:
Ref #: 74
... you steal yourself

# 293:
... to a ancient

# 250: ... although you’re that the...

# 100: ... closely the door...

# 3: ... just continue to stand at the all

You sometimes spell glow stones and sometimes glowstones.

Deaths:
#1: death by skull tentacle
#2: death by devil horse
#3: death by dwarf trial fight
#4: death by shade

Player 1 to 3 on novice, now playing on medium.

I have some things that put me off a bit, let me know if you’re interested. It’s nit picking just so you know.

I'm always interested!

Typos:

#79: watches you with as you

Died 3 more times: cavern monster, cyclop, shade (again).
SPOILER

After you swim past the lake monster and you get to the gem, it says that you take 3 health potions to avoid triggering the trap and take the gem. I didn’t any potions left. I mean, I didn’t take the gem but I think it might be a good idea to rephrase the alternative: either trigger the trap in getting the gem or leave it where it is. To make you take a single choice here based on something you don’t necessarily have feels out place here.

I felt that the death where you walk into a mouth and die was a unfair. I realize the mirrors give you a vague warning about this but it’s unpredictable. The other sudden deaths are reasonable but I thought this one was unfair as in: left or right? Left. Ok you’re dead. I know the stalactites gives a vague hint but it’s very vague.

Can you give me the reference number of the 3 potions trap?

I can’t say. Normally I would ctrl+f to find ‘lake’ or ‘three health potions’, I’d be able to give the reference in minutes that way. I only have access to a tablet at the moment so I can’t. If you can’t find it, I’ll look for it on a computer.

By the way, you haven’t mentioned anything about the typos. Do you correct the original script, does it help to point them out? Because I write all of them on a piece of paper so I was wondering it it was helpful.

I'll correct the script and I'll send it to Andy (the host) and ask him to upload it.

Found the ref 97. I've put this bit into it now:

Unless of course you don’t have three potions left. In which case you dare not try to take the gem and leave without it.

Good idea! I think I like deathtrap the most now. I really look forward to your next book. I would personally buy it if you published. Have you considered submitting it? It’s way better than the zombie one recently published. I think you’ve honed your craft to be a pro now.

I keep track of my death and I must be closed to 20 now. Some things I liked a lot:
SPOILER
The mutant enemy was a great idea.
The concept of competitors who do their own thing.

I think if you could tweak the combat system in your future book, that’d be great. Just some slight alterations. Another cool idea is if you did something like sorcery, linking two books together.

House Of Pain

Question:
1. How many fears in total do I pick: 1 primal and 3 basic correct?

2. Do you think it’s cheating if I ‘skip’ over the first part before getting into the mansion? I mean, I don’t read the reference because I’ve read them before, I just skip from one number to the next. Online, it takes seconds as I just click but in a pdf I need to scroll through the text to find the reference.

I’d like to know how you think it should be handled. If I skip, I’d take the same route, add the same amount of fear, and get the same object. It’s streamlining the whole thing.

On the other hand, starting from the beginning might be the way you intended it to be. I don’t cheat and I want to get through it the legit way.

Looking forward to your take on it.

I have the sudden hankering to continue Mission 3 Set in Stone, for better or worse. Guess I can only play Might and Magic Heroes so long.

This game is great, it's like returning to firetop mountain and my childhood, I don't think I could write this well, 4th death at the hands of a wererat's necklace (it even copies the stupid death accurately).
