Choose Your Own Adventure (Mode) ISG
« on: March 25, 2016, 11:27:23 am »

This is an ISG modeled after those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, except DF Adventure Mode will be used to supply the content, and my own (and your!) judgment to supply the choices.

Couple of ground rules:
1. DF is only a springboard for the content, I won't be particularly die-hard about the mechanics of the game itself. This is *not* a LP or LP Suggestion Game
2. That said, I'll still be using DF to resolve things where it excels (like combat, poetry descriptions, descriptions in general), but again, only for content. I'll write the poems (adhering as best I can to the description), draw or describe the combat, people, fauna etc.
3. Given (2), you *can* and *will* die. But to emulate the "flavor" of Choose Your Own Adventure, you can "fold a page" before making a decision and I'll save that file somewhere else and you can "flip back" if things get ugly.

And now...lets begin!

Need some consensus! (Maybe I should just have a poll?)

In the meantime here's a WIP (I'm getting better at MS paint and drawing with the mouse hooray!)
