I agree, I prefer programs that keep track of stats and the like for you
rather than just acting as fancy text editors and expecting you to roll the
dice and keep track of everything. Plus its entirely too tempting to cheat
if you're going to end up starting over or the like.
As for age of fable, you can explore other parts besides the city, the only
thing I don't like about that game is, well, two things actually. One, no
direct combat, and combat is a big factor in weather or not I read a book,
watch a movie, play a game, etc, since I'm a martial artist and combat
fanatic at heart. And secondly, its entirely too easy to lose stats and not
easy enough to gain them or gain them back. Even a balanced character is
screwed in that game because all the stat checks are set for above average
characters, which you can't start as, so inevitably you'll end up moneyless,
statless and pretty much screwed. Just my two cents though, if anyone has
figured out a way to actually play that game let me know, it does seem
mildly interesting at least in theory.

Yeah, only problem is they really aren't making any new gamebooks for
that site I don't think. If only the cronicals of Arberelle had a dice
manager, it'd be great. I mean I don't know. With the GMA dice program I
don't feel like I'm playing a game. With FFProject, I do. Age of Fabel is
also great, even though I'm not sure what to do, there doesn't seem to be
a set path. I explore the city for some time but than I really don't know
how to gain any progress.

Hi all.
I was looking at the ffproject.com site
what other sites have gamebooks on them.
On this ffproject.com site I have a few issues.
In planet of the spiders what word do you say to the door.
The one that has a gun pointed at you, I can not figure it out.
In wrong way back, which floor is the club on.
In I think hellfire, I think at least there is a puzzel which is getting
me stumped.
Can't figure it out, At the beginning you have 3 doors to go through,
good balance or evel.
Now I choose say good for example.
I get to the part where I am doing a test for munks to get an item.
I go through the door I chose before.
I get "you need atributes for good or whatever"
And then basically saying I don't and thats the end of the game.
How do I exactly get the atribs for the door I chose in the first, I
have tried fighting everything thats evil but I obviously am missing
something.
Because I get the classic, bad command or file name please retry.
sort of thing.
In a footsteps of a hero, I have once got to the point where I was able
to slay the gool, and get the potions.
I know green is nothing, yellow is acid and blue is good.
Is red crap or is it usefull.
Its just random to get the right conditions.
In outsider with the necromancer how do I get more health, on the last
one I had to not kill the guy because I had only 2 health left.
I must admit these online gamebooks really kick some major but.
I doodled with braille choose adventure books but you had to have
several volumes open and moving around.
Its nice to run dnd style books online Really is like if with web
interfaces.
