My Take! The more freedom the better!

If you read my original post forgive me I can be an idiot at times.

 

All I ask is that you clarify everything. When you read the text (rules) ask the question "How?".

 

That and my below post.

Gamebooks are usualy not intended to be played with GM + Player, they are desined so a player alone can do them from start to the end.

I personal never saw a gamebook that didn't use multiple choice.

So as sad as it is you expected a pure rollplaying adventure but not a gamebook and it always was clear that this will be a gamebook.

 

Edit: If you also pledged for the other gamebooks mentioned trough the Holdfast Kickstarter you also will gain Solo Adventures where you don't need a GM.

This books have theyr own popularity as they can played without anyone other or long rule study.

This is true. Hmm...on that note I suggest each scenario to be on its separate page and hyperlink each option. This way the player will not be able to see ahead. I was able to see ahead for most options but I still suggest when re writing it for release do not think we know. Just go with thinking we the player need it explained in great detail. There will be a bunch of people who will be dumbfounded while trying to play the game. Like what is a D10 Boon is that number 10 on the boon list or do I roll a 1d10 and get what I role.

 

However on a side note this story would play very well as a pure adventure. I guess I just forgot that it was a game book and since I have been playing D&D a lot lately I just got the concept a bit mixed up. I am an idiot I know this...don't judge.

At the right pledge level and/or with the right add on you get also a (or 2) rollplaying rule pdf for the D20 system, but they are not part of this beta testing.

For the rest I let the Legate answear as I'm also just a customer.

Jeske;

 

It is designed to be a loose framework for a campaign, too, so if you have a good GM, have at it!

 

As for the rules, not to worry, we've heard a lot of requests for clarification, especially in combat, so we'll be adding many examples.
