Ash, hope you nailed "Hellfire". Sounds like you got stuck at that section where several spells are needed in swift succession to get through the adventure. I enjoyed it, but had some issues:

Isle Of The Cyclops

I planned a 200 ref sequel called The Valley of Bones but have never got around to writing it. Maybe one day...

If you like that style of adventure though, join my Fabled Lands Yahoo group. As well as the Fabled Lands adventures, there's my 100 ref adventure The Hills of Phoros which was an entry in Wayne Densley's 2008 Windhammer Gamebook Prize.

cheers

Isle Of The Cyclops

Hi Darkness,

No unfortunately I didn't. I did plan out 200 refs for the sequel to Isle of the Cyclops (called 'The Valley of Bones'), but never actually started writing it.

At the moment I've got too much on my plate to start writing it now, though it may still happen in the future. After all, a lot of my adventures here were originally planned years ago and only finished relatively recently.

Having said that, if you like the style of Fabled Fantay, you might like 'The Hills of Phoros' which was my 100 ref entry for Wayne Densley's 2008 Windhammer Gamebook competition. You can find a copy here:

although you have to be a member of the group first.

Did Andrew Wright ever write any other fable fantasy (apart from Isle Of The Cyclops)?

Hi Ulysses, what is the name of your next gamebook? :) I cant go to Museum with you.....too far. :P

asgardian Wed Jul 8 00:40:52 2009 General Chat	Just a thought - as Mark J. Popp's site features solutions to the original books, why have solutions for the online versions as well? I'd be happy to map out the solution to Hellfire.
	Thanks for the offer, but I don't intend to put solutions on the site. I'll continue to leave this kind of thing in the hands of the authors or anyone else who wants to respond to requests for help.

Tachikoma Thu Jul 2 11:22:44 2009 General Chat	Love the site, brings back great memories of sitting in the garden as a kid reading Firetop Mountain :) Sadly though it has caused something of a midlife crisis and I have now bought books 1-30 on ebay :( Fantastic games here though, thanks for all your hard work and I was wondering if you ever considered releasing them all on disk for purchase?
	The idea of an offline version of the site has been suggested before. However, as it's not a straightforward or interesting task, it won't happen. Also, the rise of broadband means that most people now should experience the same performance from the site itself, so not many people are likely to want it on a disc anyway. Thanks for the kind words though, I'm glad you like the site.

@ dark
There is a yahoo group that around the fabled lands series. I think they have pdfs of it. I actually have the physical books myself but am reluctant to have them leave my possesion.

Hellfire

Ah, nice to come back to this site and play "Hellfire". The same old chestnut still applies, however, being that you need maxed out stats (SK: 12; ST: 20 + and the all-important L: 12) to survive the constant tests. Still, it is fun.

I have an idea for a story and would happily write it if someone can transpose it into computer format.

Soul Tracker

Hi.

Thanks Gaetano, I'll try soul tracker again and choose other options. I genuinely wasn't sure whether the ending was intended to be that way, ---- or whether I'd in fact missed a better ending.

Knowing there is a better one I'll have a look.

About the flap fabled lands jarva project, unfortunately, it interfaces very badly with screen readers. I've talked to a programmer I know, and he stated it would take quite a rewrite to get things working correctly as it wasn't created with accessibility in mind.

that's why I'm looking into getting hold of the actual books. Thankfully, people (actually two people separately), have been kind enough to send me coppies of the first book, which is good.

Soul Tracker

Great site. Brings back great memories. Really enjoyed trying some of these new books online. Really liked the humour of Beggar of Blacksand and Lair of the troglodytes.

Not played them all but Midnight Deep seems more in keeping with the gamebooks from old. Personally found Outsider quite annoying/boring/unsatisfying. Not really my cup of tea I suppose.

Again great site.

PS @Dark. The fabled lands were written into an open sourced java interface. It similar to this site.

Soul Tracker

Is there actually a way to save the city in soul tracker?

I got to the end, and tried both options, ---- Darkheart's campeign hq, and the wearhouse, and both times quite literally all hell broke loose and the ending was rather grim and dysmal.

I wasn't sure if this was simply the way the book ended, ----- I don't know if the author is planning a sequal, or whether I missed something somewhere along the line which would give a slightly better outcome.

the problem is with the hole tone of the book being depressed goth meets ghost busters (I deffinately could picture Wesley snipes in the lead roll), I wasn't certain if indeed this was meant to be the end.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Yes, it's definitely possible.
