Whoever did their own LW Game Books?

[Sir Brad]

Back many (many Many) moons ago, when I lacked Physical and Intellectual Maturity as well as the Emotional and Spiritual I still lack today (what can I say I'm a Too Smart Over-Educated Kid in an adults body) I wrote some Magnamund "Game Book" Adventures, just short ones 80-150 sections, well of late I found the Exercise Books I used for the Drafts along with the ones I'd pasted the Typed Finished product to, now dispite the Aging to the Paper and Water Damage to some they where still (somewhat) readable, so I gave them a Play.

Fro the product of a 12-15 year old's Labors they whern't half bad, but compared to the works of Mr. Dever some where just strait out shocking, but reading them today I'm inspired to try and re-write them, I had three Series my "Errant Knight" A "journeyman of the Crystal Star" both set in the same time frame as books 1-5, my "Kai Novice" set post Book 12.


So has anyone else done their own Magnamund Game Books? and how did they turn out?

I started and got distracted by other shiny things

But we did our own mini-adventures over at TotS. Say, do you still have the first one, Beo?

 

[beowuuf]

Which ones were they?

Oh, wait, you mean the funny ones? Yeah, they are linked on the forge (well, the first one is, the second one is a text document linked elsewhere).

Writing Wolf's own trilogy and the start of Eternal Valor/Sarra's ones should also be there actually!

Hi guys

My 3 gamebooks are hosted on www.larkinweb.co.uk and are:

Destination: Sommerlund
The Fires of Helgedad
The Vengeance of Vonotor

They continue the series after Book 28 (well, at least until the official books come out!)

I need to rewrite them at some point, especially the Fires of Helgedad, as that isn't my best work and was a bit rushed. It's finding the time to do them properly

Still there are all there if anyone wants to read them and I'm happy to link / send them ToTS

I didn't write gamebooks, but I did do a boardgame on the events of the first two books. Cant remember much, but I used the pieces from the game War&Peace (it had a lot of rather generic pieces in 6 colors) and made a hex map of Sommerlund and Durenor. The darklords were masses of militia and Sommerlund were fever, better troops. Cannot remember if I had a "Lone Wolf" piece, but probably did. IIRC it played out "historically" with the darklords being closely defeated by Sommerlund.
Apart from the hex map, all the rules were in my mind. And the hex map probably looks very dated by todays standards. I did have a lot of time on my hands back then...now (at least today) I have barely time to write about it.

I always wanted to do one, but I never got round to it. I did do Book 8's bonus adventure though, so I suppose that's part of a gamebook

And that's more than I managed Wolf! I did want to do a bonus adventure though, just have to be contented with the fan-fiction I guess
