I've finished almost all of them (though the wwgb series wasn't exactly
played in what I'd term a "fair" manner). That really is an awesome site,
and some of the stories are quite well done.

Subject: [Audyssey] gamebooks on ffproject
With all the talk about the choiceofgames, I thought it might be fun to have
a discussion about the gamebooks over on www.ffproject.com. The site now
tracks endings, an will tell you when you reach the optimal one, so how
many have people done?
Over the years I have finishe Trial of Alabar's tomb, Rebels of the dark
chasms, Bad moon rising, Impudent peasant, The Black lobster, The cold heart
of Chaos, Isle of the cyclopse, Hunger of the wolf, Guarden of bones, Tomb
of the ancients, A strange week for king Melchian the dispicable, Nye's
song, Escape newberg keep, and just the other day sharkbate's revenge.
I've also nearly finished (as in got to the very end but failed), soul
tracker, the ravages of fate and in the footsteps of a hero, but I need to
complete those properly. Liekwise, I keep trying with wrong way go back
because I want to try the rest of the series, but end up in severe trouble
each time, which is why I haven't played other books.
There are of course lots more I've had a go at and done less well, such as
diamond key and a shadow in the north, not to mention the nastiness of
hellfire, but I don't think that is too bad going.
So how have other people done?
Btw if people don't know ffproject, it is a site who have a very good
selection of gamebooks by various ameter authors often using some varient of
the fighting fantasy rules. The site will handle all the dice and stats for
you, you just need to choose links. It's been going for at least 10 years
and new books get added frequently. Of course they range in length and
quality, and in genre from modern day horror to fantasy and both serious and
commic sf, but they are generally very good fun, and several are exceptional
in quality, I'd definitely recommend them, indeed I once did a podcast
review of Impudent peasant from the ffproject site which you can find on
https://www.sendspace.com/pro/6gsse9
So what books have people completed?
Beware the grue!
Dark.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast
and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even
the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.
