Hi all. Recently I undertook a redesign of the Chronicles of Arborell website, and as a consequence of that upgrade have begun converting all my currently...
Hi all, Just a question for Jon. I was reading one of the Fighting Fantasy sites the other day and came across a small piece of info on poor sales results for...
Hi all (again) Over time I have been checking on the website for Malinche Entertainment. It is an interesting read on its own mostly for the unique way in...
I haven't personally bought any of their games, but I'm a lurker on the Interactive Fiction usenet group (rec.arts.int-fiction) and they seem to have a pretty...
Bit of advice: avoid Malinche like the plague. I *have* played one of his games ("Pentari First Light") and it wasn't up to much. There are far better titles...
I must admit that the comments given in responses to my question does confirm my own thoughts on this. I can say though that I do admire his energy, and the...
Hi Rob I tried mailing you direct, but the mail was bounced back to me. ... Yours too?! ;-) I wondered whether you had finished moving yet and would be able to...
Hello, does anbody know if Alex Nino -- who illustrated some of the Time Machine books -- is also known as Alex Jay? Because that is the name of the illustator...
Hi all, As a follow-up to my previous emails I would like to let you know that most of the books available from the Chronicles of Arborell have been...
The writer and games designer Robin D. Laws (he did the Dying Earth RPG based on the excellent novels by Jack Vance) has started up a Play-By- Blog game on his...
My web host has gone south again... I've e-mailed support, and hopefully the site will be back up within a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience! - Demian...
It's oh so quiet... sssh... sssh... Right, what can we talk about? How about this: last gamebook you bought. What was it, where did you get it from, how much...
Whatever you're on, is it as good as Phenodihydrochloride benzelex? ... Well, I was going to ask the group if they had bought this book yet - "The Golem of...
I'm basing it on the release date a while back...sounds like I made an error - has it been out a lot less than that? (I'm sure it *is* out though!) ... ...
According to Amazon it's been out a while. Haven't bought it yet though. The last gamebook I bought was Curse of the Mummy off Ebay for probably far more than...
The latest gamebook I bought was Eye of the Dragon, but unfortunately, it wasn't the greatest. It's been a while since I could access the official FFG forums...
I've got a copy in my hands (and there's a scan on the site: http://www.gamebooks.org/show_item.php?id=4727). Now I'm just struggling to find the time to...
I finally managed to pick up a copy today via special order. I never ever saw a copy on the shelves down in Melbourne before I moved, but fortunately (or...
From: "xypernia" ... They're not dead, though currently one of the hot topics there is facial hair. Reprints of 'Talisman of Death' and 'Sword of the Samurai'...
Had a chance to ask a couple of bookstores in Melbourne last weekend whether 'Golem' was slated for Australian release and they had no info. I'm hoping for a...
... Interesting... so they dropped the 'Jak Shadow' pseudonym, then. Cover art's a bit poor, but at least with 500 sections it should be a meaty old adventure...
... That was only for those FEAR gamebooks - I don't really get the point of using a pseudonym if you're already an established gamebook author and are just...
... Unfortunately, me too as well. I thought the website (albeit it was a temporary one) in general was also poor. Sorry 'bout that, but they're my honest...
... I'm interested (as a mini-adventure writer) - how can you mess up a mini-adventure? What's wrong with it? Too short? No atmosphere/plotline? No light...
