Just wanna say this is a great site, loved House of Horror!

That could easily stand alongside any of the original Fighting Fantasy series and not look out of place.

Great site!

Aiken:

Glad you enjoyed it.
Don't be too concerned about what items you have obtained. Items are only carried between gamebooks by exception. From The Dead World there is only one item that will be carried through to Episode 7.

I just wanted to say thanks to the administrator(s) and contributors to this site! I stumbled upon it while doing an internet search of the FF and CYOA books I enjoyed as a teen back in the mid-80's, and was surprised that there's still interest in this medium of gameplay. I immediately jumped into Hellfire, as that was the first entry I saw in the list of titles available, and felt the same thrill I had 20 years ago. Admittedly, I've had to peruse this entire Guestbook to get clues to a certain section I'm stuck on (fairly well documented by other readers here), but I'm glad I did.. for another reason entirely.

It was kind of heart-warming to see so many other people here not just interested in reading these style of books, but creating new titles in their own right. I'm serious.. in this day of advanced electronic gaming systems I not only expected little in the way of information on anything FF-related, I expected the whole genre to be practically dead and buried.

So, I really have to tip my hat to you all! Thanks for breathing some life into my trip down nostalgia lane.

The Dead World

Hi Binki, thanks for your comments.

I wanted to have the mutiny carry through to show how far people will go in a desperate situation, then have that contrasted against normality when it is suddenly reimposed; that is: when the rescue ship arrives as promised and suddenly everything they did to survive is shown to be unjustified.
While the WWGB series is mostly about humour and is not trying to make any great statements about the human condition, in this adventure I added a lot more descriptive language and of course the mutiny to add a new dimension to a story where otherwise not much happens. There is of course the back story of what happened on the planet and why the trap was built in the first place, but that is never revealed in full. The key thing I wanted to show was desolation, and what arises from the human heart when all the distractions and pretences of society are removed. It's then we find out who we are. The main character in this adventure is undergoing transformation after all, and this adventure is a step in that process

The Dead World

Hello Ulysses.
First of all, I must thank you for the whole serie of adventures.
In The Dead World I have found some number of bonuses, don't know which ones are major. I prefer to get golden sword and Skill bonuses.

A small bit of disappointment was a character inability to prevent mutiny.

The Dead World

Hello all.

Since there's not much discussion going on at the moment, may I ask for people's experiences of The Dead World? Has anyone found any of the major bonuses? Any feedback in general?

(P.S. An update on Episode 7: I've just had to expand to 400 references... it will still be a while coming.)
