Choose Your Own Adventure gamebooks are wonderful things. They contain little paragraphs three attributes reach 0, you’re dead. Sorry about that. Pirates
scattered across the pages in a seemingly chaotic order, each one ending with a set of choices and Locations = Island chains, whirlpools, swamps etc. I played the game a couple of times, and while I had fun, I found two major issues:
numbers which take you �icking through the book to the next paragraph in your personal journey All Rewards are cumulative. For example, if your hero already has a Magic Sword (granting +1 to Monsters = Pirates, Zombies, Kraken… 1. The game is very swingy. I played several games where I died within two encounters, and

2. There’s nothing to do except trade blows with monsters.
Which got me thinking. What happens if you make those numbers actually mean something? What Your character can �ee any Encounter, but this reduces all three attributes by 1. Running away is for Zombie Horror
if they replaced the paragraphs themselves? And what if you made them random? What would a cowards, not heroes! Locations = Mall, Park, Houses, Warehouse etc. There’s a tantalizing possibility resting in the rooms, though. So, let’s add some design and map the
