It's a D&D-branded "Choose Your Own Adventure" style book called Endless Quest: Into the Jungle, and is apparently one of a series of four by Matt Forbeck.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]I never had a Choose Your Own Adventure Book, though I was a big Fighting Fantasy fan back in the day. This book is pretty much the former format -- you read a page or two of narrative, then make a choice which page to turn to, and carry on reading. I'm sure you know the drill.As you may have noticed, I don't really do reviews; but I am always happy to share cool things I see (to be honest, that's basically been my career for 20 years now).These books are Dungeons & Dragons branded. There are four; I have Into the Jungle, but the others include Big Trouble, Escape into the Underdark, and To Catch A Thief. This one has a big badge on the front which says "YOU ARE THE CLERIC!", and a quick Google tells me that each book has a different class: [ATTACH=full]111944[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]111945[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]111946[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]111947[/ATTACH] The series is called Endless Quest, and they're all set in the Forgotten Realms. The interior is glossy, and full of lavish colour illustrations; a step-up from those old CYOA books.On my first attempt, I met a zombie T-Rex and then got catapulted by goblins in a giant net and died. Sucks to be me, I guess.[ATTACH=full]111948[/ATTACH] This is where I died. These are aimed at kids aged 8-12, and there will be hardcover editions also, according to the letter accompanying the book. They look like a good gateway product into tabletop roleplaying.Check back on EN World on Friday for our day-release review of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, and our in-depth follow-up a week later.</blockquote>
