I'm one of the Johns, yes. I haven't completed Hellfire though. -------------------------------------------------- From: "dark" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 06, 2015 18:06 To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] gamebooks on ffproject
Hi John. Are you the "john" on the ffproject guestbook? If you've finished some of those I'm impressed as there are some real toughies, especially the shear evilness of hellfire. I actually haven't played any of the wwgb series because I've not managed to finish the first one despite a hole bunch of tries, it's a shame I did like the writing and some of the later ones look great from their intros, the first book is just brick, oh, and yes I do have bits of the solution it's just putting all the steps together. My only issue generally with the ffproject is that some of the books like tomb of the ancients are a little short in their descriptive writing, but obviously that isn't down to the site owner so much as who writes the books and the quality of writing of most of them is awsome. 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 06, 2015 5:22 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] gamebooks on ffproject > I've finished almost all of them (though the wwgb series wasn't exactly > played in what I'd term a "fair" manner).
