The Untold Adventures of Alzar the Mighty: Book 1

So I came up with a really awesome idea for a forum post/dynasty thing. It will take a LOT of work to get it to run. I have to do all of the backstory first, and then post it all at once. But if it works.....it could be incredible.


So this post is a motivation for me to work it. Public stuff like this often gets me motivated

Based on several things, but in part on the Alzar D&D dynasty.

Okay rules are up.


This is a gamebook dynasty. You read the dynasty like a gamebook, and make decisions, clicking from one post to another. The rules are up here:

The Untold Adventures of Alzar, Book 1: Journey to Kythore - Game Thread - Front Office Football Central

Please DO NOT COMMENT IN THAT THREAD> I would have to find a way to delete your post or something, because we have to keep it clean of stuff.

Instead, I created a comment and questions thread here for talking, discussing, asking questions, and more

Awesome, a gamebook by Abe. I'll definitely check it out when you manage to finish it.

I finished the rough draft today, and it clocked in at 17,000 words.


I expect to edit it, add some more descriptions in places, and flesh it out tomorrow, and then I'll need to take these sections I wrote and combine them and randomize them into a giant gamebook in the thread. That will take hours.


But at the end we will have a forum gamebook. That's cool!

The gamebook dynasty is on. It's ready. I'll probably make some edits and add some images in there and such. Enjoy!
