My other writing isn't published anywhere at this time, but rest assured when it is I will be drumming up interest through every avenues available to me, so you should hear about it sooner or later.

With the errors you've noted, as the only place these gamebooks are published is here, I suggest you use the Contact email and send your notes to the Webmaster. Depending on the number and how you have referenced the errors, he may take the time to fix some of them. Either way, thank you for noting the errors.

Hi Ulysses!
Thanks for answering in-depth to my (admittedly lengthy) posts!
As I said, I enjoyed those gamebooks a lot.
They definitely are a great series already, with or without further entries.
But, of course I'd greatly enjoy further episodes!
As for being great at starting things and not finishing them, I'd counter that nine(?) gamebooks on this site say you're great at starting and finishing great stories with complex mechanics and funny writing.

You mention you're writing other stuff now, not gamebooks - may I ask?
I enjoyed reading the series, did wonders to take my mind off things. I figure I might enjoy checking out your other work too, if it's published somewhere?

I think while playing those gamebooks, I noted some minor errors like a missing word or similar stuff that a spell-checking software won't notice ("water" instead of "waiter" etc). I was doing some proofreading in other contexts at the time, so I was in the habit, and at some point started jotting down notes when I came across something like that. If those might be useful to you in order to straighten some of those minor kinks, I'll gladly shoot you a mail. If that kind of thing is rather more hassle than it's worth, all good of course, too. Let me know :)

So, here's to hope for another entry in the series at some point!
Cheers

Lindenbaum Competition

@Ulysses

Yes, entrants can vote for two main reasons

1) Since you have to vote for 3 books, even if you vote for yourself (which I would expect all entrants to do), you also have to vote for 2 others.
2) Wayne always let me vote.

I'm not voting, but I will be providing feedback.

Very interested to start reading the entires.

It has only occurred to me now to ask: As an entrant, am I allowed to vote?
I wasn't planning to vote for myself, although politicians do, so I guess it isn't unheard of.

Lindenbaum Competition

Voting is now open for the 2021/2022 Lindenbaum Prize. Voting is open until 10pm GMT on the 5th April 2022.
You can get the gamebooks at www.lloydofgamebooks.com
Voting
The Lindenbaum prize is awarded to the entrant who receives the greatest number of reader votes. This prize relies on votes provided by readers who have read enough of the entries to make a considered choice as to the relative merits of the gamebooks submitted. It is expected by the sponsor of this competition that votes will be provided on this basis. For 2021-2022, the voting system applied as follows:
A valid vote must be forwarded by email to Lindenbaumprize@gmail.com. A valid vote must nominate the three gamebooks most favoured by the voter from the competition entrants. A vote with less than three nominations cannot be accepted. A vote forwarded with more than three nominations will only have the first three accounted for in the voting tabulation.
Only one voter email is allowed per reader. All votes will be checked for duplication of email addresses.
Feedback to the authors may be forwarded to the competition sponsors at Lindenbaumprize@gmail.com. All feedback given will be provided to authors at the end of competition as a part of the email notification of results.
Voting will close on the 5th April at 10pm GMT!

Lindenbaum Competition

Entries have now closed for the 2020/2021 Lindenbaum Prize for Short gamebook Fiction. Sixteen authors have been accepted for this year's competition and their entries are currently being adapted to the standard competition PDF format.

We have an amazing array of gamebook goodness with 16 entrants!

It should be noted that as the number of gamebooks has exceeded 14, the competition rules now require an extension on time for the close of voting date will be extended to the 5th April and winner announcement dates to be extended to the 14th April (2 week’s delay). Due to the large number of entries submitted and my decision to hyperlink the books there must also be a short extension of time for all entries to be properly converted to the standard competition format. Due to this delay all entries will be available for free download and review from the 15th February.

All information regarding this year's comp including full entry guidelines, competition schedule and prize details can be found at http://www.lloydofgamebooks.com/p/the-lindenbaum-prize-for-short-gamebook.html.

This is a cool idea for an adventure but endlessly picking what direction you go in without anymore information is tedious and repetive

The choices are random, but I can understand there is quite an interesting back story there.

I'm happy with solutions being posted, in the past people have found optimal actions I wasn't aware of.

Guided by the Elders, the leaders of your society on D'Karr, your people have gathered and stored in the Wall of Knowledge all that has been learnt about your world and what is simply referred to as "the space beyond". As a Level 2 construct, you have yet to be allowed even limited access to the Wall, being instructed for now to simply gather more crystals for use in information storage. While your fellow constructs are content with their role and alternate between work and hibernation, you are not...

Do you have a Google Drive link? If not I don't really want to put my email on here, so could you use the 'Contact' sidebar above and ask the webmaster for my email?

Thanks!

@Phil,

I just dug up the document where I'd written all the walkthroughs. How should I send it to you?
