[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9567858, member: 42856"] That's totally possible. I am not adverse to gamebook have several possible stories in them, as long as there is no inconsistency appearing in them. Of course, given the nature of gamebooks, such attempts often leads to inconsistency unless they are handled, as you say, as failure states. BTW, about Beldon wanting to kill us for our Kandian blood... it can't come from Mum, since she's Beldon sis, and therefore if she had, he would, and I know racists aren't the smartest guys around but still, he would probably not hate person of the Kandian species as we say nowadays, so that means that Landor descent from Kandia/Bukhod himself, much like Dalris? Wait... Dalris had a priviledge relationship with Landor. Landor is Kandian. Dalris is Kandian. Perth is an anonymous archruid... if he doesn't claim to be Kandian himself, but only a druid IN Kandia or OF Kandia, he'd advise him to undergo a paternity test. We're very very charismatic in the family (due to us being complete jerks), what can I say? Also it would probably be very bad news for Carr, when we think of it. Because it's located on top an an old [S]Indian burial ground[/S] Bukhodian crypt. Also, isn't Tikandia the name of the older civilization? Shouldn't it be a Kandian academy if we go by how the bard speaks of herself? Or that he didn't bother to inform Beldon about this modification. Landor: "Hey Beldon, can you fetch my sceptre, it's on my desk" Beldon: "Yes pal, no problem" Beldon [I]has its life sucked by a defensive dweomer of doom[/I] Landor: "Damn... I should have remembered... Time to recruit another apprentice." In the past, i was infuriated by bad choices leading to unavoidable death several sections away, especially with several branches leading to this death. I felt cheated. But nowadays, I am only bothered by instant, unpredictable death section like "Before you are two unremarkable, identical doors. Do you open the right door or the left door? The left door? Too bad, you die." Video games have been infamous for having speedrun (unintended, generally) path to win them by bypassing 90% of the plot. I can see it happening, if somehow we don't talk to Thayne at all, just get to academy, skip all lessons and get our sceptre, so we are on track to be an archmage with no magic. That would be fun since I am pretty sure book 2 will assume you're a wizard, Harry. [/QUOTE]
