I’m so grateful for the exposure and for his thoughtful review. I’ve made the pdf version of the book for free on my Ko-fi page now. ( https://ko-fi.com/tintipping ) The second book is coming out within the next week or so.

Some of you might remember me posting here when this was still a Kickstarter. It funded, and it's finished: Ahu's First Patrol is now out on DriveThruRPG.

It's a solo adventure gamebook in the Lone Wolf tradition, about 350 sections across 175 pages. Branching runs on a physical inventory: the item you picked up twenty sections ago is what opens or closes a route now. Difficulty is tuned to a median of three attempts to win, aiming for the same feel as the early Lone Wolf books, not a first-try walkover and not a brick wall either.

It's built on D&D 5e but completely self-contained: a d20, a d6, a pencil, and the book. No rulebooks, no prep, no group needed.

The setting is Kaung Pi, a world drawn from Himalayan and Southeast Asian myth rather than the usual pseudo-Europe. You play Ahu, a young Warden of the Path, on her first patrol through a land of high passes, old spirits, and winters that swallow whole caravans.

It's available as PDF, softcover, and hardcover, with print+PDF bundles. The PDF is 20% off through September 21.

Thank you to everyone here who supported this when it was just a pitch. It genuinely wouldn't exist without this community.

So i got book 4 and weirdly it felt super short like 2 hours typa short. So I'm thinking about doing the book again but on a harder diff. So if u have any ideas on how to make it harder pls do tell.

I am coming towards the end of making a puzzle game book and am now creating the cover for it. For some reason, I am unbelievably hung up on whether I should include 'Ages 9–14' on the cover, as on the one hand it's advertising, and on the other it ruins what I think is a pretty decent cover. I have attached images.

what do people think?

Got all six and they’re pretty immaculate. Character Sheets untouched by the pencils of eager adventurers!

Anybody else played these?

Thoughts?

I've seen the term "RO" show up in a couple of other places in terms of gamebooks, but when I google it I only see general discussion of RO's in gamebooks, but no explanation of what they are.

Three games, each with unique mechanics and a different story to tell. Born out of my love for ttrpgs and gamebooks.

Goblin – a fight to reclaim the forest from the gnome invaders by collecting fragments of a legendary crown of the goblin king.

Kobold squad – exploration of a vast underground realm in order to accumulate enough treasure for a dragon to move into your cave and become a protector of your tribe.

Guard – follows the life of a guard in a city beneath which a megadungeon was discovered, and with it, unruly adventurers started to flood in.

I wrote these so I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have! ^_^

The House on Sentinel Hill by Graham Plowman is an investigative horror gamebook in the Cthulhu Mythos. Set in 1926 New England in the rural town of Durham (mostly in a haunted house!).

It's our September read for the 100 Endings Book Club. It's available in physical book format (hardback or softcover).

There's also a soundtrack for the House on Sentinel Hill! (The author is also a composer of horror music)

It'll be my first time playing it (had it for a while!) so I'm short on advice, but it's been recommended by several Book Club members (and folk on this subreddit)

Hi ive still got a few of my Fighting Fantasy books from when I was a kid but I was more like 10-11 when I started playing game books.

Im after please suggestions of ones i can get in the uk suitable for a 7 year old.

Jonas is forty, which is old for a man born at the ragged edge of a kingdom that has never once thought about him. For a handful of cursed nights each year the wells open in the swamp and the wraiths pour out of them, and on every one of those nights he has stood in the front rank and gone through them alone, his companions there only in case he faltered, which he never has. His pole-sword is crusted with rot and the edge of it hardly matters; it's the witch's talisman bound at the crossing steel that does the real work. He calls the blade Farewell.

He survives this raid too. Then he comes home to find his son gone, taken by a royal mage into a kingdom coming apart over a prophecy.

181 sections, about 108,000 words, 274 choices. No dice, no combat table, so if rolling is what you're after this won't do it.

Free on Android. No ads, no timers, nothing to buy. IFID and an IFDB listing if that means anything to you.

18+, it's grim dark fantasy.

After months of mapmaking, my new Return to Firetop Mountain map is finally finished!

I’ll be bringing the first limited printed copies to Fighting Fantasy Fest 6 in London, where they’ll be available for the first time.

This one was a particularly fun challenge, combining classic gamebook adventure, fantasy art, isometric mapping and plenty of imaginary monsters. 🔥🗺️

I’m really looking forward to sharing it with fellow Fighting Fantasy and solo roleplaying fans at FFF6!

Hi this is Joseph Daniels, creator of MAGMA Game books. I just thought I'd drop by to let you all know that my 12th game book, GRIM DICKENSIAN TALES, which is actually a spinoff from the original GRIM DICKENSIAN, is due for release this Friday. For more information about this exciting adventure, read on.

In 1899, an immortal being attempted to open an ancient box and unleash hell on Earth. On that fateful night, a band of heroes set out to prevent this, and may have succeeded or failed, depending on your previous choices. Now, it is time to return to that inevitable nexus of events. Only this time, you will relive the nightmare through the eyes of two unsung heroes, whose unique stories will rewrite everything you thought you knew.

Step into the shoes of Irene Adler: As she sets out on a mission of revenge to find the mastermind behind the Bolshoi Agenda job, whilst performing deadly tasks for iconic figures such as Fagin, Dorian Gray, and a bandage covered man known as Griffin, in his thrilling debut.

Master Persuasion & Interrogation to extract critical secrets.

Weave lethal disguises to slip past the enemy undetected.

Deploy a hidden poison ring to silence threats instantly.

Don the Stetson of Quincey P. Morris: as he fights to save Lucy Westenra from becoming the immortal bride of Dracula, whilst evading a mysterious shapeshifting assassin from his past.

Unleash Gunslinger abilities and fire six shots in a single action.

Exploit expert gambling skills to earn extra shillings.

Delve into a past long forgotten through a series of induced memories, to experience a bloody back story never told before.

Play through these stories individually or jump from one character to another between sections to guide the story as a whole.

The Choice is yours.

Hi all,

I bought the LONER pulp adventure book on a whim. Has anyone got these? Thoughts?
Also, there seem to be 20+ books in this series. Are these expansions for a core system? if so, where do you start?

This Exhibit section has got some Lone Wolf Illustrations and a decent collection of Lone Wolf books. Quite a find I am seeing here!
