Well over 20 years after it was originally planned (as one of the original FF gamebook series) The Wailing World has finally been published as a two-part AFF 2e scenario.
One catch: it's in the magazine GM Warlock, and is... in Japanese.
Would anyone be interested in seeing it published in English?
I'll admit straight up, it's as weird as my gamebooks ever were, and it is also written by someone who hasn't played games regularly for a couple of decades (and whose ideas about rolegaming were far from the mainstream even back in the day). Though the GM Warlock people did playtest it thoroughly and added loads of interesting tips and suggestions.

I would totally publish it - you could submit to The Warlock Returns fanzine or maybe straight to Graham Bottley who can publish it in his line of AFF adventures.

Thanks for the response. When I get over this Covid infection I'll see if I can move on with it.

My Chinese isn't really good enough to make much of that. Just guessing from my knowledge of kanji, it looks like 'I am interested' or something like that? |

"I find this very interesting." Thanks for the confirmation. I guess it's easier for Japanese readers to make a stab at Chinese than the reverse (because of those pesky kana). |

Indeed, I keep putting off thinking about learning Japanese, too much other stuff to learn...
