I'd like to float a topic for discussion: This site should have a Patreon to allow those who enjoy reading and writing gamebooks here to support it. While some content creators on Patreon have different tiers with exclusive content, I am imaginging instead a single "Support this Site" tier with a minimum of 1 gold coin (or other relavant currency). Any funds would go to maintaining the site and incentivising its continued existence. This site would still function the same way, and writers (such as myself) would still be using this site as a free publishing platform with no expectation of return. While the webmaster has expressed to me in the past that he maintains this site as a hobby and is motivated by interest in gamebooks, I think what I am proposing here is reasonable as it does not require any additional effort and is unlikely to end up funding the purchase of a private island. Thoughts? |

In principle I don't have an issue with this, but I'm not convinced it would accomplish anything. It's probably what I said before on the subject, but I haven't attempted to raise money, either by advertising or by soliciting donations, because I'm pretty sure it would only ever generate a small fraction of the costs, while potentially antagonising anyone who has contributed creatively on the understanding that the site is non-commercial. If necessary, I could probably save more by shopping around different hosting services, but there is no pressing need, and until there is I'll just continue to think of the costs as my donation to the internet, from which I get plenty of free entertainment. Of course if I thought I could get a private island out of it I'd already have done it. |

@ Dave, Very difficult, but not impossible going by the stars on this thread. Some gamebooks - published or otherwise - are fiendishly challenging and take a fair bit of working out! |

It would be nice if fighting monsters if you lose to a minor one, you just had point deducted from your attributes instead of being killed! spent to bets part of hour collecting, fighting, etc got killed by a very low level animal! very annoying!!! |

A good play, but very very hard to get the final outcome! you have to get everything correct or you die every time! so missing other options |

Are we sure the main character wasn’t crazy? Seems a bit of a nut! Good read. |

Due to New Day Rising one ending is now canonical, though prior to 2012 I would have preferred the Preacher ending. However like Eddie Vedder with Alive, the meaning of my own work changed for me. |

@Paul Agree agree agree. That bloody statue from Demons of the Deep took forever. |

Please DON'T have monsters that kill in one hit or ruin plot critical items, that just turns a fight into a slot machine. Also low skill high stamina is tedious, not exciting |

Right, finally got around to the Happily ever after ending! |
