| 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. |

| Been taking a break from writing mission 3 of this to write about sailing ships instead. |

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

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. |

| 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. |

| So yeah, this series really didn't work out.... |
