You've got to get used to this, Tammy. In a room full of single males, none of whom have respectable mating prospects, the mention of anything remotely female, with two legs and no feathers, tends to send all sorts of long-forgotten glands and organs into overdrive......

Gavin,

I wasn't trying to rush you for Mission 2, I hope that didn't come across as me doing that. I'm just excited for the story to continue and am really hoping for something to develop between you and the fighter, but I do understand that circumstances change. Don't let naysayers get you down, there will always be people that find something to complain about. With that in mind, this was excellent and most of us enjoyed it immensely. I hope all is well.

To quote time immemorial however, there wouldn't be a film then. Ie without the protagonist having some contrived reason to sell their soul, I have no book.

I wouldn't want to give my soul for the friendship of any band. It's a waste of time pursuing friendship if it's not freely given. Hopefully, people should just click, that's it. If not, then move on. I watch these films and it's cringe-worthy the protagonist does all they can to join some kind of 'exclusive social club' - Jocks or spoilt rich kids - looking down their nose at everyone else. And I don't believe in all that 'love at first sight' nonsense. at first sight, yes.

One interesting scene was in 'Rebel Without a Cause'. During a 'Taurus the Bull' scene in the planetarium, Jim Stark (James Dean) portrayed a hopeful, playful grin, then a deflated disappointment, finally ending with a shrug when realizing the high school gang didn't take to his humour. They were at first shocked by his spontaneous bull's bellow, then muttered a few insults to the newcomer. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Jim's earlier attempt to socialize was somewhat misplaced and his association with troubled loner 'Plato' proved more sensible. This was the first teen angst, coming-of-age movie of its kind, where youngsters struggle to find their place in life.

The friendship of a goth metal band I invented would seem an odd price for a soul in real life.

I might change their name to R Type though.

@ Gavin. No, I didn't. Good luck in transferring your concepts to an adventure, look forward to reading it. And my ideals still stand.

I liked the mission quite a lot Gavin.

It was a sharp, short adventure and I liked the banter with the dragons. The comparisons to Outsider are unfair, this book is just fine on its own merits. Also chuckled when:

END SPOILER

Could have been a bit longer or fleshed out, but I did enjoy the character designs - especially Jori, Shira and the black dragon - and the protagonist is interesting as an ex-necromancer as well. Would enjoy seeing a follow up with the same cast.

The randomness didn't seem too unfair or egregious, and freshened up the combat some.

@ Gavin,

My Mother is, thankfully, still alive - besides which, I'm sure she wouldn't want to return to the Earthly Plane, resurrected or reincarnated or incorporeal state. Been there, done that, move on to the next level of existence. As for the Gothic friendship, not sure what a G-Type is, and Goths are continually fatalistic so they wouldn't make good conversation. If it's nothing I can't (and should) earn for myself, then I've no wishes to be granted.

Maybe another tale.

Your last name is FAUSTIUS. That is all.

Mother of all demons, LILLITH offers you a bargain. for the small price of your soul would you resurrect your mother, or buy yourself the friendship of local up and coming goth metal G-TYPE?

Live in fear.

I wasn't really sure where to post this or if I should be using the contact link instead of the guestbook, so if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me or just ignore.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to get an ssl cert running on the site? They're free now (with let's encrypt), but I'm not sure how the specialized software for the gamebooks would handle one.
It'd be really nice if possible; I've taken to typing https as the prefix to any address, and its always a little alarming when firefox says a site is insecure.

Thanks but, mission 2? The one review above was sufficiently above as to briefly make me consider quitting altogether. This was only a brief thought, I would still consider continuing on its own merits, but I've not written anything for a long time and my circumstances have changed permanently. Perhaps I might write again one day.
