The once Christmas-y CYOA summary and notes thread

That's cool I was doing the next few sections last night! ftp access would be cool

Not sure about the name change...it did start at 2007....plus it would ensure we finished it before christmas 2008

Oh come on, who doesn't want to write about champions getting squished by a giant golem, or the awesomely terrifying powers of mophus's smile!

Lets see if I've understood this:
108 = 'Success', a teethy one at that.
109* = Another roll, with fighting
110 = 'Success', after fighting
111 = Bad bad bad.

* Reserve this one for me. Ponderance time.

109 is a bit weird, I think that failing with mophus should net you a small but ignoreable inconvienience, and so I decided that failign with mophus would be the same as succeeding by the skin of your teeth with the fighting party - after all, mophus is still a little weird!

I will leave it up to you how that is accompished. Yell if you would prefer those two to be split off as separate events (fail mophus from skin of teeth party)

I'm on 110.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:42 pm

And I'll do 108, so we can move onto the next trial

Or someone else can move us onto the next one! Technically only four more to go now, but of course it could only be circumvented

Come on Beo, lets

finish

this one!

This is level 3 of DM you are talking about? I have many happy memories of this particular level, chucking chests into the faces of oncoming Trolin.

I meant trials, the dungeon has probably changed as the dungeon always does!

And i've been interrupted or stymied too many times (didn't even see this post due to net stuff) but hopefully can get 108 finished at the end of lunch now! Woohoo!

Your turn to think up a new idea or task Beo... Or someone else.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:25 am

Yeah, it would be good to have someone else! If no one steps up then on to test five!

To be honest, noone has yet to match your lactose-intolerant-Halk.

Glad you approved

119 is actually quite clever. I like your twisted mind!... Just keep it to yourself.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 5:31 pm

Thanks - but you know what it needs now, that's right, a few clever and twisted follow up sections

Post by **Gambit37** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 5:42 pm

Right, I really need to look at ths, I only got as far as #50 or so......

Blindly join - reading it might just scare you

ian_scho · Post by **ian_scho** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:10 am

Ohhh, after 2 weeks of paternity leave and one week of apathy at work, I finally feel 'energised' to have a go at 121.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 1:36 pm

Good! Been to busy to get back to it, plus wanted to leave it for someone else to have a go

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Thu May 08, 2008 8:29 am

Woohoo, right, so updated the summary thread, uploaded the new (haven't checked them, ran out of time now), and created a new trial for the champions!

Oh, and to explain sophia's entry and the recurrence now - it was a complain in ajax chat about gamebooks with lazy and unexpected ends, where it was just 'everything explodes' and you could see the link recurring later.

OOps, this finally filtered through the various references you made

Congratulations!

Thanks man!

So from both 127 and 128 note down that Gothmog is immortal, and has been feining death all of this time.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Fri May 30, 2008 10:21 am

Funny this, i had this open last night to do something, but was blocked from doing anything until too late in the evening

I will add you stuff and update the write up and web version and maybe add an entry at the weekend

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 12:48 pm

Let's ressurect this and end this! Woohoo!

Ok, finished the Gothmog trial, it's now wide open. Anyone want the last trial? I have an idea for afterwards, but it's all change since it's a collaborative effort!

Oh, I've also uploaded Ian's and my sections, I hadn't realised those weren't up!

Post by **Sophia** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:24 pm

I thought you'd try to make it go until next Christmas.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:50 pm

this is still probable!

Post by **Gambit37** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 6:06 pm

Coo, I'd forgotten all about this!

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 10:34 pm

Hopefully it's reset enough to just make up a final trial - though I reckon the dragon or whatever behind it confrontation could be after the final trial

ian_scho · Post by **ian_scho** » Sun Sep 14, 2008 4:21 pm

Blimey. I was coughing and spluttering after inhaling the dust of reading this one again. I've actually got less hair now, and fatter too.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 11:43 am

Ok, uploaded the latest entries and added a few news ones. Almost at the big confrontation now!
