Having been quite fond of the Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, I was recently interested to learn that there are at least a few of these games written as RPG solitaires. As such, I was wondering if anyone could recommend particularly good (or bad) examples I should try playing, and if anyone knew of any cheap (or preferably free) authoring software which would let me torture my buddies with my own creations?
Well if you’re looking for a searchable and browseable reference guide of practically every gamebook ever written, this page is probably your best option: http://www.gamebooks.org/
It also has links to other gamebook sites, including current authors and sites that let you give you ideas on creating your own.
Wow, that place is awesome… thanks!
