Hi everyone,

At school, I have been doing another writing project with this year’s Year 6 class, producing another fantasy gamebook in the style of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone.

Building on last year’s project, I started with a new class back in September. We used a map from Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator, then invented a story to go within it. I must say they really came up with the goods – a narrative that would grace any big budget TV series. There were distinct races and a complex history that tied them all together and led to a real hook for the story. They split into eight groups and each was responsible for their own leg of the journey. I couldn’t be happier with the overall concepts they came up with. We didn’t have the same time available as with last year’s group, and we had to leave it for a while after making a start; however, I spent time in June working with each group. There were several different possible endings which made it tricky to wrap my head around, and also a secret ending to be planned for.

Are YOU ready for the experience of a lifetime?
Are YOU ready to save the world?

Welcome to the distant future and the planet Bacreia.

You are Hynum, the last human being in the Universe. You must hunt down the pure seeds of Aliumia that can save the planet from war and decay.
In your way are frightful foes, treacherous terrors and risky riddles.
Beyond them all lies the Forbidden Zone of Shantaell. Few have entered, none have escaped!
Now it’s YOUR turn!

Anyway, it’s available now on Amazon. If you’re a fan of the old Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, give it a go.

Thanks for reading, everyone. Hope to be back with more updates on Ardenna soon.

May your stamina never fail!

Richard
