At last! The unanticipated sequel to Wrong Way Go Back has arrived! Jam-packed with 81.667% more references, and a whopping 400% increase in combat encounters!
Ulysses Ai's new gamebook is ready for online play. It follows on from the end of Wrong Way Go Back, but can equally well be treated as a standalone adventure.
I've ideas for an adventure which is also set in the modern(ish) day, possibly a series, set in a supernatural world. The idea is a reinvention of my 'I am Zombie'. It features several races, including Ghosts, Demons, Zombies(Two breeds, ghouls are the basic shambling groaners, revenants are self aware and suchlike, but are plagued with insatiable hunger and indestructibility), Vampires and Werewolves. It will feature government 'Men in Black' battling them, and I hope to mix archaic magical-lly elements with more sci-fi ones. Anyway, Dr. DeMencha, I must agree with Gaetano. You should try writing. An adventure in which you play as a senile guy would certainly be original (In similar ways to my other plan, an adventure where you play as an alcoholic down-and-out angel who got cast from Heaven for smoking.)
Your post is a little unclear. It looks like you're submitting the background for a story, but you want anyone who uses it to ask you if they can use it before they do?
Why not try your own hand at it? It it's your first time writing, try creating a simple 50 section gamebook. Think about whatever it is that you personally enjoy about gamebooks and try incorporating these elements in your story.
I'm a Docter not a writer so heres an idea for all of you. Please ask me to use my IDEA first though. Your a modern day pirate with a ship. Recently you've been having doubts about your profesion. You set for answers for the unexplained. BUT also about yourself.............For when your angry you see red and things bust in flames. So strapping on your two handguns you set of into the unknown............
to make the woman tell you about Kianmay, you need to be carrying the flute. To get the flute you need to get the Primordial Crystal from the Wolf, tell the Crow you are not a Champion of the Light, then choose the form of the Primordial Crystal such that it becomes the flute. I can't remember what choice yields the flute, but it should be obvious what it isn't.
Perhaps fightingfantasy.org was around before ffproject, but I was stating my preference of ffproject. Oh, and when I mentioned a 'series' I meant longer than a trilogy (I thagot mixed up, thinking that a two part story's a biliogy, a three part story's a trilogy and after that it's a series...in fact I'm not sure if that's true, I'll look it up). Anyway, I was just saying thanks.
Well, there certainly seem to be a few problems at the minute! Since I'm feeling more philosophically enlightened, having discovered meditation, I'd like to give my 'Reference 1,000' speech to Andy. Thanks for the site and all the time you have and o spend on it. Thank you for inventing the 'online gamebook' which makes this site so superior to the other ff related sites, and thank you from all of us for posting our gamebooks here.
Ulysses. Thanks for your message. Recently I've been tring to focus solely on Rise of Skarlos which is roughly 1/3 done. Having canged the title, I cn proudly say that it's shaping up well. It is now firmly in the same seriesas Shadowcaster, featuring many of the same races, characters, places and concepts. There will be several Shadowcasters in my tale now, and a FAITH score to determine your faith in Oiden (Which is required to complete the adventure). Stuart's book sounds fantastic too, meaning that FF project's first multi-part series may be growing.
As you suggested, I'm trying to focus solely on it. When I finish, I may rewrite the Wrath of Cain or finish I Zombie.
Again on the 'Reference 1,000' speech, also thanks to all those who've contributed to this site either by posting things in the guestbook or sending in gamebooks.
Thanks very much for the praise. However, I don't think I should let the 'firsts' you mention go unchallenged : though I think I had actual working gamebooks first, http://fightingfantasy.org predates this site by a few weeks. And surely the first multi-part series on this site was Hellfire / Riders Of The Storm. Furthermore, when I add Planet Of The Spiders, there will be a second.
In Outsider!, when you have to kill the kingpin, how do you get to him. Trying his gambling fails, trying his vice gets you killed and to get him via drugs you must fight several nigh indestructible foes. Even with a zombie bodyguard and chemicals from Fiorentino I can't seem to get to him.
