This is asking a lot but is there anyone who can see if my Howl of the Werewolf solution reaches 20% chance of success and also if Stormslayer reaches 75% chance of success. I would do it myself but my mathematics is not really up to completing something so technical. I know this is a bit of an ask. These have been my hobby horses of recent times. This would definitely be too time consuming for me to do that, I'm sorry. Anyway, the answer would depend on your policy of using luck in each fight, which is not mentioned in your solution. Thank for the reply. I am pretty deterministic about using luck so I usually specify in my solutions. I tend to specify when to use luck according to the Jon Virgo doctrine of it being a shot to nothing in his happy phrase. I was just wondering if someone had coded a solution and then could mutatis mutandis a solution according to my variables.

Do people still believe in the fake virus? It seemed real when I caught it after multiple vaccine shots. Some people don't believe the war is real either. Presumably they make the anti-virus\vaccine crowd look like Mensa.
And I just caught the 'fake' virus again. So, either I've walked through a wall twice, or this virus isn't fake.

Wow!
Here is the synopsis from Amazon:
Book overview Are YOU brave enough to enter the Dungeon of Despair? Jealous of the fame and fortune that Baron Sukumvit's Deathtrap Dungeon has brought him, his brother Lord Carnuss spends five years using an army of slaves to build the ultimate dungeon challenge on Blood Island.
Offering a prize of the Golden Orb of Fang, he challenges all-comers to risk their lives to find the Golden Orb and escape with it alive.
Filled with deadly creatures, lethal traps, and horrific surprises, danger lurks at every turn.

So before he tried to embarrass his brother by finding someone to beat his Dungeon, Carnuss first made his own I Can't Believe It's Not Deathtrap Dungeon?

To get even more in the mood for an Ian Livingstone, Deathtrap Dungeon sequel, gamebook here is some Fighting Fantasy art. So Iain McCaig is doing the cover art, it is reasonable to expect something special there. Don't need much of an excuse to bask in the glories of past McCaig cover art so: The internal illustrations will be by Krisztián Balla who did the internal illustrations for the Hungarian Version of Assassins of Allansia. (These are also the illustrations used in the Tin Man Games Fighting Fantasy Classics version of Assassins of Allansia.) For a Deathtrap Dungeon link, that would be our old mate Throm on the right.

On February 16th, Ian announced that he began writing a new Fighting Fantasy book and then announced on March 28th that he has written The Dungeon on Blood Island. How plausible do you think it is that the book he referred to on February 16th is NOT The Dungeon on Blood Island? Feb 16 to March 28 strikes me as a super fast completion time for a 400 section adventure. Barely over a month. If he locked himself away and worked at it many hours a day with hardcore concentration then maybe a short period of writing time like this would be possible. Your thoughts?
Either way, exciting news though!

That’s roughly 13 refs a day.

If he had everything plotted out already, it is plausible. If you have nothing to do but write, it is possible to pump out a book in a little over a month. Hopefully it was inspired

Either way, exciting news though! If he'd already done all the planning and mapping before 16 Feb and assuming there's still further refining and playtesting to be done, it would be hard work but doable.

Either way, exciting news though! OT but I think many\most professional writers would write faster than that. As well as being foreplanned, Sir Ian has never been one for long description in the way Steve J (UK) has, or complicated rules in the way of Jon G.
