All three gamebooks are mini solo adventures designed to teach the basic Pathfinder RPG system, introducing players new to paper RPGs. The Party of One series is a third party supplement for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Beginner Box ( Beginner's Box). However, the entire Lone Wolf series is available online via Project Aon with Dever's blessings, and books 1-17 are being reprinted by Mongoose Publishing with bonus materials. Flight from the Dark sold 100,000 copies in the first month, while the entire Lone Wolf series sold over 9 million copies in 18 languages until it went out print in 1988. He wrote Flight from the Dark in 1983, which would become the first out of 28 Lone Wolf gamebooks, spanning more than 14 years. After winning the 1982 Advanced Dungeons & Dragons tournament at the Origins Game Fair in Baltimore, Dever left the music business for gamebook design and writing. As you recall Lone Wolf is an award winning which-way gamebook series by Joe Dever. Seventh Sense uses Project Aon's digital depository of Lone Wolf gamebooks and adds rich features such as bookkeeping, savepoints, dice rolling, commentaries, and more. Seventh Sense is a gamebook reader by David Olsen of the Project Aon, a Lone Wolf gamebook fan volunteer group. I am focusing on the game system design, while co-instructor Michelle Cho, an experienced writing instructor, is handling the the academic writing portion. It is currently in session at Language Transit, an after-school program in Arcadia, California. The Hero's Journey: Write and Publish a Branching Path Book class is a one month long, gamified, creative writing class for students, 4th to 9th grade. I had to create something compelling that can keep students focused - something epic, something heroic. Writing is not something that students look forward to, especially during summer vacation. As it turns out, my idea works well with younger students as well. I was already doing research on using gamebooks for a college level game design course. They wanted a program that would set them apart from their competition. Few months ago Daniel Cho and his wife Michelle, instructors at Language Transit, approached me to create an exciting summer program for them. I am working late into the night, staying one step ahead of my students. Thus you can pay resources to hedge your bets or press your luck. You can add two free randomly drawn cards to modify the combat result or pay with specific cards from your hand. Finally the combat is diceless: the combined combat strengths of attacking and defending units are compared on a chart. As with other block games, your opponent sees the blank back side of your units, creating fog-of-war as well, the blocks can rotate 90 degrees to track hit points, a mechanic pioneered in Quebec 1759. Each order is disc is chosen secretly and placed on top of units, then flipped and resolved simultaneously this way a player can bluff and be unpredictable. The hidden order mechanics are implemented via order discs. Giving three different ways to play a card ensures that a player never gets a bad hand because it is up to the player to make creative combinations. As with many card-driven games, a card play starts a turn and a card can be played in three different ways: for bonus unit movement, for a combat bonus, or as a historical event. Strike of the Eagle ( Sote) is a modern war boardgame, incorporating many contemporary game mechanics such as hidden orders, fog-of-war, diceless combat, and a card-driven system.
