Mage Tue Oct 19 03:40:43 2021 Shrine Of The Salamander 
|
Ah, this is one I can always get back to. Once you find out which are the most useful spells, the win-rate is close to 100%, even with minimal stats. And it's the last of the books that I'm fairly familiar with. The rest of my nostalgia playthroughs will likely take much longer... |

Mage Tue Oct 19 03:23:17 2021 Riders Of The Storm
|
And done with the sequel! |
|
Mage Tue Oct 19 03:01:16 2021 Curse Of The Yeti
|
Refreshing not having to deal with being screwed by the dice. |
|
Mage Tue Oct 19 02:46:29 2021 Midnight Deep
|
Enjoyed this, but still wish this could have had 3 different successful endings in accordance with the 3 alignment paths that you can choose in the beginning. |

Mage Tue Oct 19 02:13:25 2021 Impudent Peasant!
|
Short and sweet. |
|
Mage Tue Oct 19 02:08:22 2021 Hunger Of The Wolf
|
Nice prequel for Scorpion Swamp. |
|
Mage Tue Oct 19 01:58:33 2021 Bodies In The Docks
|
Finally! Took me way too many tries and I needed max values for most of my stats to barely scrape out a win! The lack of healing/restoration (even Doctors have a very tight limit on his First Aid skill) and the fact that most opponents have highly-inflated STAMINA compared to the average gamebook, AND the fact that you always encounter enemies in pairs, really ramps up the difficulty level. Even with Max SKILL and combat bonuses from Knife usage, there's way too many opportunities for opponents to get lucky on the dice and whittle down your STAMINA in a single battle (and leaving you weak to later fights without the chance to heal up). |

Hi Stuart. Good on you for resurrecting a gamebook writing competition - it's a really good way of encouraging this specised form of writing. I just read the discussion above about feedback and voting during the Windhammer competition, and agree that having encoyraging and useful feedback is important. I note that the rules for this year are set, but I'll add a couple of suggestions for the future: 1. Rather than just a voting system, a panel of experts (anyone who has actually written a gamebook) who provide feedback, with the voting used as a 'people's choice' award for the best entrant. 2. The Expert Panel can additionally choose winners for categories like: 'Most Adventuresome', 'Funniest', 'Best Under 30 Chapters', etc. Whatever you think is best to encourage. |

Mage Mon Oct 18 09:56:08 2021 The Cold Heart Of Chaos
|
And a short one to round out Day 1 of my nostalgia run here... Although I think this one is more difficult than the "easy" rating that was assigned to it. |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 09:21:50 2021 Isle Of The Cyclops 
|
Tales of Bird Island can't be completed, so I guess I'd have to make do with this one. And after spending the last game trying to complete the Rich Challenge, I hereby nickname my hero the Island Hyena Hunter. |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 08:13:48 2021 House Of Horror
|
Great prequel. |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 07:35:50 2021 Hellfire
|
Woohoo! Completed once of the most difficult ones on the first day of my nostalgia trip. It can only get better, right... |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 06:58:36 2021 Beggars Of Blacksand
|
Very fun, but feels kind of underdeveloped. Or maybe there's just a bit too many red herrings that look interesting but don't really have any significance on the gameplay for plot. Still great fun. |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 06:07:31 2021 Bad Moon Rising
|
Easy.... |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 05:52:36 2021 The Black Lobster
|
This one wasn't hard to win, but I thought I'd try for the harder troll-slayer path....just barely made it! :D |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 05:44:23 2021 Rebels Of The Dark Chasms
|
Am I right that 1 of the 2 paths in the very first section already leads to a delayed failure? Kind of a waste to devote so many sections to what looks like a doomed adventure. Also, the companions feature is interesting, but also a waste because the optimal/true path doesn't actually make use of them.... |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 04:22:38 2021 Sharkbait's Revenge
|
Not bad, but a couple more LUCK bonuses to be gained would have been nice.... |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 02:48:35 2021 A Strange Week For King Melchion The Despicable
|
Always an entertaining read, no matter which of the many paths I take! :D |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 02:27:09 2021 The Trial Of Allibor's Tomb
|
Wow, this one took me several tries, even though I still had quite a bit of memory about the "true path". Starting with the Potion of Fortune is always a big bonus for this one. |
|
Mage Mon Oct 18 01:26:47 2021 Waiting For The Light
|
I still wish there's some kind of in-depth psychological analysis for this on the paths you choose. Interesting content, but it's hard to feel good about "winning" when one doesn't really understand why or how. |
