Thank you for your support hynreck, this new adventure should be the best adventure so far with the possiblity to choose a potion from start and eat provisions at users request (instead of automatically as it was in other adventures) you just have to wait a few more days

The site to play fighting fantasy fan adventures has a new url at ffgamebooks-online.net, soon it will have the 7th adventure available to play online , it would be a medium long adventure with more than 200 sections,i will have more news on this matter soon (hopefully before the end of the year)! Good stuff. I'll give that a mention on another forum.

There isn't an option to add the genie bottle to the inventory. Not a problem as I can still select the option even without it listed. Also, there doesn't appear to be a way of restarting the adventure upon death. I've been returning here to use the link each time. EDIT Doh! Obviously it won't yet have a link back to the beginning since it's being play tested. However, I think I've been everywhere up to a certain point and I'll be damned if I can find the last one of the particular items needed to get to the end.:-(

First of all thank you for trying the adventure Pete ,not finishing the adventure was one of the reasons i purpose a tryout here,but i have been in contact with the author and he told me that it is very difficult to get the last gold scale, hopefully he will shed some light about this matter soon, the other reason it´s the peculiar rules it has when using the gennie, i will review the option you mention about adding the genie bottle to the inventory, as for the adventure did you find it enjoable to play?and did you like the new feature of drinking potions and provisions at user's request?

I enjoyed playing the game, for as long as I practically could. I liked the idea of the vipermen. There were some creative locations and traps in there, including a perplexing piece of "metagaming*" that you wouldn't get away with in a gamebook, but is fun in a fan adventure. The option to use potions and provisions is great, although I'm sure sometimes when I used a provision it took me back to the reference prior to the one I'd been at. And I would almost swear, once when I used two provisions the first reloaded the reference I'd been to prior to where I used the provisions and the next took me back again.
*I'm not sure whether "metagaming" is a word

You are right about the provisions issue, it should now be fine to play.(It´s indeed a major issue not sure how i missed that) as for the genie and bottle at a first view it seems that it is indeed not added to the inventory, i will review it shortly

I'll keep hold of my map and play again when I get the chance, although I can only think of a couple more things to try to complete The adventure. Neither of which I'll be able to try with mediocre stats.

Just a tip press f5 or refresh the browser when starting the adventure, it will give you new stats Note : It´s called cheating but we can´t always play it by the book can we?

I didn't cheat in order to do so, but since I consider the way you have to find it as a bit of a cheat on the part of the adventure's writer, I might just cheat to finish the adventure.:-)

In fact, I think the game is virtually impossible to win without cheating, so play it as a fun adventure everybody, but cheat away.

Glad you make it Pete, did you find other bugs that should be corrected? As for the cheating part, this engine does in fact let you cheat because the options are linked by hiperlinks , but that is not what i meant, and i think that kind of cheating steals the fun of playing the story(this subject could give in fact an all new thread), what i gave you was kind of lets call it an helping tip ratter than cheating!

No, I didn't spot any other bugs. The options in the tiled puzzle room could be a little less confusing, but I don't think that's your issue, but the author's. I've completed the adventure on fairly good stats cheating only twice. Both are cases where a specific value or one of two values have to be rolled on a die to randomise events. I've simply chosen the value that I knew from previous plays I needed. I've cheated in those instances because I've learned that those values are required to complete the adventure, and I make no apologies for doing so because I have no patience for that kind of thing in an adventure. I mean, what am I supposed to do if I've rolled the wrong value? Continue playing even though I know I can't complete the game? Understand, by this point I had the dungeon thoroughly mapped and had full notes, so there was no exploration still needed. One of those situations can be avoided, but at the cost of making the final battle virtually unwinnable rather than just dang difficult. The adventure itself is enjoyable, and I would rather people didn't cheat through battles and such like, but if anyone wanted to play and, like me, doesn't think the possibility of being able to succeed should be determined by rolling a specific number on one die part way through the adventure, they should feel free to PM me and I'll tell them where to cheat their way out of that frustrating situation and what option to choose.

I don't want to say too much, though, as I don't want to lessen the enjoyment for other players.

If you make a way to incorporate quizzes on your site I can give you a bunch of my ff quizzes based off a couple of books. Just a thought. Can't wait to see your plans for your site. ☺

Nice site offm. Thank you for your hard work. I took a break from marking to have a quick go on one of the adventures. It looks good, so you can be assured that I'll be back for more, (especially as its half term next week.)

Thank you for you support lordomnibok , it´s my small passion always new things to do with it ( i am doing a conversion that i hope to be the 8th adventure to be published on the site).

I would assume that as long as you're not making money from it they won't care.

I think Phil is probably right on this, but I'm pretty sure you would be in infringement territory nonetheless. Some companies are really hot on this sort of thing - like Disney - whilst other brands are more relaxed. I've had my knuckle's rapped by Warner Brothers before over something similar (naughty me), so you have three options as I see it. Ask them first. Don't do it. Or take a chance, but be prepared to remove it if they ask you to do so. I imagine you would be okay with FF, but after my run in with Warner Bros. I've learnt that its not always the best thing to make assumptions. (They just told me to remove it or else they would take action. So i removed it. Fast. Then all was good.) Hope this helps.
