Trudvang Legends: Bad Game, Good Multiplayer Book

A five year old Kickstarter that still hasn't fully delivered, Trudvang Legends was already redesigned once from the ground up. Unfortunately, it still isn't all that good.

When Ii was a kid, Choose Your Own Adventure books were the Gospels by which every boy I knew lived and died. I've often thought it would be neat to have a Choose Your Own Adventure-type, well... 'adventure' online. A movie that would offer you choices and then take you to the option you chose via a link to further your adventure. When YT came along I thought that it would be the perfect medium for it, but then everything became monetized and advert-choked. Maybe an Amazon Prime or Netflix playground would be better suited for it. You make the calls and I'll sign the checks when the money comes pouring in.

The book being pixelated made me think of two things -- The 1st was the hint book that came with Zork for the C64 that had the little highlighter. If you got stuck, you could look up where you were and then run the highlighter over the blank area underneath your query ("How do I open the mailbox?") and the answer would appear. That way you weren't tempted to look at every other Q&A on those two pages. Genius if you ask me.

The 2nd thing it made me think of involves a, um... 'star' named Hitomi Tanaka.

GR, AA!

I live in Canada. I put down 90 USD July 7 2019 for the early legendary pledge. I finally received the rest of the last of the Kickstarter items last week.

For the price, the miniatures are worth it alone if you wanted to use them for DND tabletop gaming.

However had I known it would take almost 5 years to fulfill, I may have thought twice about the Kickstarter.
