It's about a blog (and quite an amusing one at that), so the 'Blogs, Twitter & Websites' section seems the best place.

Very funny. You have raised plot holes I never considered before.

After a four year absence, Turn To 400 has come back. Your one-stop-shop for skeleton counting. |

Great resourceful playing! Hanging on for so long at death's door without surrendering to the inevitable. Your absence of foolishness is clearly evident.

Loved it - was so relieved when you got that Stamina gem! |

I was quite relieved myself! One of the good things about Scorpion Swamp is being able to plan ahead.

Cool Talisman Of Death review. One of my favourite parts in this often-excellent gamebook is the Thieves who you cannot trust. Having untrustworthy enemies such as the Thieves and the Dragon is more nuanced than the typically colourful-if-innocent universes of D & D and FF.

Cool to see you doing season 2! There's more than one person reading you (now at least two).

Make that a minimum of three.
Please keep going, they are a most enjoyable read. 😀

Great review of "Space Vice", Murray. Hilarious assessment of the story, turning the book on its head like that.

Yes I realise you are not Murray. But, while you have been getting well-deserved credit for your blogs, Murray's are also very funny and I haven't seen much for him, so I wanted to acknowledge his hilarious contributions. Keep reviewing. Even your disappointment is entertaining. |

I don't know if Murray reads this thread. Comments for him are more likely to get through if posted at his blog.

Thanks Peter! Just won Temple of Terror on ebay so hopefully will be able to do that one in the next few weeks! Looking forward to going back to fantasy!

Cool review.
Rings Of Kether is well-written like most Andrew Chapman. I read an FF reviewer (Malthus Dire I think) who described Rings Of Kether as "irrelevant" - if anything it has aged well, with its 21st century-esque sci-fi universe. I believe the true path isn't terribly long, but Rings Of Kether has a pitch-perfect difficulty level, and innovative features such as ship combat systems, and rolling less than your Skill instead of the same. I think rolling less than your Skill is better than rolling the same or less - there should be a chance of failure even if you're brilliant, like Kasparov losing to Deep Blue.
