2018 had me going to the wayback machine when I purchased some old Choose Your Own Adventure books. I was pretty excited about them and when I bought these books, I got 5
of them:
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
Citadel of Chaos
Forest of Doom
Deathtrap Dungeon
City of Thieves
I've covered 4 of them on the blog
now, but I've already played and completed the last one which is City of
Thieves. I died. It was as bad as Citadel of Chaos. When I died I backtracked a decision and
still died. So, I backtracked two and
died. Some of these books are apparently
just difficult. Also, they were all very hack and slash fantasy based. To that end though I've
had enough of average old fantasy adventures so I've got five new books on order
to do this year so I'm going to list those and say a little about why I chose them.
Starship Traveler
-Supposedly you bounce around
different planets in command of a starship.
Appeals to the Star Trek geek in me.
Appointment with F.E.A.R.
-Apparently, it’s a superhero book
where you get to choose your powers and fight an evil organization. Sounds good and it’s a pretty meaty book.
Armies of Death
-Okay this one is fantasy but
apparently it makes you the general of an entire army and I'm curious to see
the mechanics of how this one is designed.
Freeway fighter
-This has been described as
the Mad Max adventure book. I’m good
with that, bring it on.
Space assassin
-Sounded kind of like a Space Hulk dungeon
crawl. You’re on a space station trying to
stop someone from throwing a virus at your planet that will extinguish life. Let’s rock.
The point is, next year I'll have 5
books to do and 4 will be in the sci-fi or post-apocalyptic genre so that will
be a fun change of pace. I hope you all
enjoyed reading about my many deaths in the Fantasy world and are looking
forward to the many deaths in the sci-fi one.
