Wild West Christmas by Jenna Kernan, Kathryn Albright, and Lynna Banning
Christmas anthologies tend to be more misses than hits, unless you're soused on alcohol, that is. Wild West Christmas is no different. Nothing wild here.

The Equalizer (2014)
Denzel Washington brings on his most piercing glare and scowl to The Equalizer. The impressive body count by the hero here, alas, includes the plot as well.

Betrayed by His Kiss by Amanda McCabe
Ooh, Renaissance Italy! The scenery is lovely, and the narrative is pretty engaging. But this is a revenge plot with so little emotional pay-off, so... eh.

Survival Horror: Interactive Fiction
Inspired by gamebooks and text adventures from my childhood, I am developing a modern text adventure game. Don't worry about typing in commands, or a simple Choice A or Choice B scenario. The text itself is interactive.
I released the beginning of the story today, and I was wondering if you guys could check it out, and give me some feedback?

The Songbird’s Seduction by Connie Brockway
Falling for a nerd in 1908 is a wild, exuberant, insane rush. I've no idea how true is that, but The Songbird's Seduction makes me a convert to the faith.

Castle of Blackwood Moors: A solo-gamebook and/or group RPG adventure supplement!
Castle of Blackwood Moors: A gamebook/RPG adventure!
I find this Kickstarter project intriguing and promising due to its dual solo-gamebook and potential group-play supplemental nature...
As The Hero of your town, you have heard stories of the ruined castle your entire life. After defeating some local bandits, you feel your confidence soar and decide to try to tackle the mysteries hidden within the ruins!
The Castle of Blackwood Moors is a gamebook you can delve into, no matter your experience level with this type of entertainment. If you have never played this type of game before, you can jump right in. If you have done tabletop gaming before, you will feel right at home. In fact, if you have a favorite character that used 3D6 system for creation (Labyrinth Lord, Swords and Wizardry, etc.), you can use this book with that character!
There's some great stylized art on the KS page by Luigi Castellani and the whole project has this classic DnD, light-hearted 1983 'Dragon's Lair' video game, golden-age of gamebooks, 'The Bard's Tale' (the 2004 video game version) tongue-in-cheek feel crossed with Herbie Brennan's Grail Quest "Castle of Darkness" gamebook vibe. Which brings me to this project and the completely unbiased statement that 'We Can Never Have Enough Gamebooks!' True, the KS is rough 'round the edges at the moment, but that's where YOU, dear community member/RPG/gamebook fan can make a difference.
I have no horse in this race, other than being a backer and an unashamed devotee of the genre, and as such I'd ask, politely, (oh, dear, how did my sword become unsheathed?) that if you have a silver piece to spare, please, make a donation to this project or pledge for a PDF, if this gamebook concept appeals to you. Softcover and hardcover versions are also available for a mere cold coin, shipping by carrier pigeon or -turtle, additional. Or, casually work it into conversation on other forums, cough blogs, cough etc. if you're in a position to assist in this manner.
I should probably see a physician about that cough...
Goal: $2,000
Deadline: Wed, Oct 8 2014
View the latest stats for You cross the moor to the abandoned castle... on Kicktraq
PS: Yes, I know this isn't an actual sword. I had to trade that in for provisions, along with my horse, and my armor, and my shield... so yes, technically I'm standing before you in rags and failing my intimidation roll. HOWEVER, you have to admit that a stranger trying to intimidate you with a rather large smoked & spiced wild-boar sausage is, if you take a moment to ponder it, about a hundred times more sinister and upsetting than a mere sword! Whatever your excuse for NOT pledging is, clearly it's now invalid. Go on. Here's the link again, just in case you've forgotten:

Anyone played the Golden Dragon gamebooks?
I am wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the Dave Morris series of gamebooks called Golden Dragon (such as Crypt of the Vampire and Castle of Lost Souls). I recently started to explore his Fabled Lands books from the first book and am really impressed at the system he devised for the FL series. I understand that Golden Dragon is a simpler system but I was hoping someone with experience could tell me what to expect as I decide whether to purchase them. For my tastes, Fighting Fantasy gamebooks are about as simple as I could probably tolerate. Any more complexity is generally a plus, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on any/all of the Golden Dragon gamebooks in any case.
Thanks
