Just to tell you all that well-known gamebook author Jonathan Green has a new Kickstarter going on:
The project is slightly struggling at the moment, failing to garner awareness, so if you like all-things gamebooky, and like what Mr. Green has produced before, go ahead and encourage him with this, I doubt you will regret it. He's always reliable, hard-working, and very imaginative.
So go ahead and at the very least, pay his page a visit and read about the proposal, why not? And have fun. |

Funded, as you can see above. And still a little bit of time to make it even better!

Thought I may as well resume my 'six shotties' playthroughs of these books.  1st shot - Wendy (picked beast and plant lore skills) I wished away the sea monster, wrote some crabs out of the story, found a cutlass and then tried to run from a velociraptor because he looked scary. He ate me. |

2nd shot - Wendy again Went inland this time and that was the right thing to do. Made friends with Peter pan and tiger lily and went on a quest for a stone. I ended up finding two but that didn't seem to matter. After a strange Diversion with some Morlocks, a volcano and captain hook I made it through to the end.!! Like the last two books, it is very well written and well (if sparsely) illustrated, but unfortunately it's just not really interesting me at all!!  However, I still have 4 shotties left, so I will play as Peter Pan tommorow night and see how different it is. |

3rd shot. Peter pan
Obviously it starts off differently, but very soon becomes closely tied to Wendy's story (which was a bit boring)
I went for a different stone this time and met a giant gorilla (which was nice)
My endurance got hammered throughout, but I had plenty of opportunities to restore it.
Poor tiger lily presumably dies in this playthrough (same as with Wendy's) - but she's getting her turn next!
Mr Green was perhaps too generous with letting me have Ten uses of my Flight skill as I used it a lot and it was never to my disadvantage.
Anyway, I won again!!!

4th shot - tiger lily
Ok, started off differently enough at some ruins, but soon converged with the usual stuff. After going after one 9f the stones I then realised that tiger lily (probably) didnt die during my last playthroughs.
However she did this time as me and her steed, Fang, fell into some lava....

5th shot - tiger lily again.
Not much variation, though I knew the herioglyphic skill would be handy so I chose that one.
Found an error where I was supposed to be aware of a pirate attack, but I wasn't there at the time!
Said my goodbyes to Pan and Wendy and had a very nice wee ending.
Success again!
Last shottie with captain hook tommorow!

Final shottie - Captain Hook.
NOW this playthrough was much better. It was interesting seeing the story from the bad guys side
However, I tried to be as good as the book would let me and successfully maintained a low mutiny score.
I won't give too much away, but I was actually VERY surprised by what happened towards the end of the playthrough and was very satisfied by the ending.
Yes, I won again...

Quick conclusion. I suppose you truly have to be a big fan of Peter pan to get the most out of this book. The beginning and end of each characters playthroughs are obviously different but the rest is extremely linear. The art is good - though the picture depicting the Hook/Pan fight isn't! An OK read, but I think I've seen everything |
