Given that I have never heard of any of this the best conclusion is 'a wizard did it'

:-) True - living in the real world too long has dulled my imagination.

For some reason I left this up for a few days before finally writing this comment. This was a nice quick play, and for that it did really well. I'm still certain I missed a few things and might come back to find the rest of them, but what I did find, I enjoyed. The choice of who you take onto your team is really great. Don't really have anything bad to say, except maybe show what your teammates stats are somewhere. 99/100

Can't wait to see what happens next!

Also, maybe I'm missing something, but does the chain whip you can get at the start serve any purpose?
Gavin Fri Nov 30 04:27:06 2018
Originally Maggott's starting whip only does 1 point of damage, the chain whip does 2. There would be various other stronger whips lying around to offset this.

One of my goals for 2019, second only to that demon game Leiber claimed existed in all dimensions, is to continue with this. However I have to say the recent Fighting Fantasy audio dramas have been more inspirational than the second mission, currently at 8000 + words and counting.

The second mission of New Day Rising is now available at https://www.wattpad.com/721262807-new-day-rising-another-world
Short, fun, quite different though, compared to the "prequel", which i played awhile ago. Yet I would love to play the next chapter (will it happen?).
mcg Wed Nov 20 20:48:55 2019
"Will it happen" on this site, I meant.
Gavin Thu Nov 21 04:07:55 2019
Mission 2 is available here in text form if that's what you mean.
mcg Thu Nov 21 15:54:45 2019
Thanks! Downloaded it already.
Gavin Fri Nov 22 07:17:41 2019
Thanks I've had no feedback at all on that

I have the sudden hankering to continue Mission 3 Set in Stone, for better or worse. Guess I can only play Might and Magic Heroes so long.
Fonz Sun Jan 26 10:44:54 2020
Brilliant, worrisome.
Gavin Fri Apr 3 17:36:36 2020
It's the lock down, and while my primary goal is reading and secondary goal is online wing chun tutorials, tertiary will be continuing this. If I get to it.
Ren Xuan Thu Apr 9 10:35:49 2020
well this one is better than others!
Gavin Fri Apr 10 20:34:24 2020
I thank you for your kind words. The lock down and the fact that Serenity is on TV reminds me two of the characters are straight lifts from there. Guess which ones kids! Meanwhile, as for mission 3, I have written, a bit more.
Gavin Fri Jun 5 09:34:25 2020
Been taking a break from writing mission 3 of this to write about sailing ships instead.
Laura Thu Feb 11 19:07:55 2021
Interesting, randomly came across this and quite enjoyed it

A mildly amusing diversion.

WTF Rev. Tome triggered a magic nuke!

So, I think this little adventure might be a bit underrated here - but that is probably because a lot of people are disappointed about the contrast with Outsider!, which you know I find a bit overrated on here. I would certainly say that something like "This gamebook is set in the same world as Outsider!, a century after its events. It does not follow the same style or themes." as opposed to a flat "This is a sequel to Outsider!" would be VERY helpful in managing expectations. Only to a point, granted - some people are just not ever going to be on board with so much 4th wall breaking or will toilet humour and the Silmarillion in the same ref, but that's what it is.
I should say that at one point (524?) Kalashnikov is misspelled as Kalashkinov. It's also funny that entering the black dragon's room with that dragon's head still in your inventory somehow fails to automatically trigger combat.
Two moments which no-one else seems to have mentioned yet, but which I found interesting.
It was a really nice touch when
SPOILER
if you kill the red dragon (any reason in particular why he and the black dragon have Russian/Slavic names, while the green dragon is Hispanic?) with Jori present, she tells you there was a spell on that scroll and you had apparently nearly killed yourself with it, but if you manage to overpower him without her present, you'll see that it was just his disgusting poetry, and she made up that whole story to get you to stop.

Lore-wise
SPOILER
Children of humans and dark elves have both pale white skin and white hair? From that line by Aria's mother ("babies pink and blue") I assumed skin colour would be inherited from the elven side. And up until that, my best guess was that she was one of those truly ancient dragons who shapeshift perfectly, and the duel would actually be a battle between two massive dragons. Oh well, that was neat, too. I should try to see if you can continue the story after she gets unlucky and melted by Voivodan.
END SPOILER
I wonder what is the main reason why the second part hasn't been digitized in 4 years and counting. Are there some deal-breaker complicated mechanics? Or does FFProject just have a backlog this large.
To answer the question of why the second part is not playable online it's just because I haven't got it done yet. It's more awkward than most because the mechanics are much more complicated than the software was made to handle, so there's a certain amount of effort involved in simplifying it and still having the result make sense, and that's what has sapped my resolve and left it half-finished.
Gavin Thu Aug 10 07:26:54 2023
Possibly the second part isn't very good even by my own admission. Continuing got to the point where it was no longer fun to write. I thought I've spent three years continuously reading and listening to stories about sailing ships, why not write about that? So it goes.
