[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 518459, member: 6294"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Gamebooks[/b] Sorry, I'm including Titan and Out of the Pit as part of the 5. Not strictly accurate, but I keep those books together as a set, so that's the way I think of them. I've read the novels. Never bothered to purchase them, though - I didn't think they were good enough to bother. Not that some of the actual gamebooks are all that wonderful ... I'm just not that much a fan of gaming fiction. Except story hours :) As for Riddling Reaver, you're right - I did forget to list it. I do have it, though. If you ever decide to sell #22, let me know :) Fabled Lands was a very interesting idea, but I think the fact that you had to buy them [b]all[/b] to get the maximum use may have put some people off ... which probably contributed to the series never being finished. Personally, I think a series of D20 gamebooks, aimed at the same level as the early FF books, would be Good Thing (TM). Gamebooks got a [b]lot[/b] of kids into gaming while I was in school, and they are a great learning tool for new players - they get used to dice mechanics at their own speed, without the intimidation of all the other players around them. A mass market paperback is also a lot less money than PH + DMG + MM. Makes a good 'sampler' for people to try out.
