RISE OF THE ANCIENTS BK1: BRUIDD
An unlikely invitation compels you to travel to the remote coastal town of Broodhaven to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime competition. There, you soon discover that nothing is as it seems. As you progress through each increasingly dangerous round of the contest, the secrets of the town and its noble families are slowly revealed. A hidden history conceals the truth of your own identity and the real reason why you were summoned here. That which sleeps awakens, and so it falls upon you to confront and overcome an ancient and unimaginable terror! Only you can unlock the past and break the dark cycle! A family legacy must be fulfilled. Destiny awaits! Can you stop the nobles of Broodhaven from unleashing a hideous chaos upon the world, or suffer a fate far worse than death?
In this interactive gamebook, you make the decisions, and you suffer the consequences.
Choose wisely or die trying!
I've played the first book a few times and really enjoyed it, though not managed to finish it yet. It's more complicated to play than a Fighting Fantasy book, with many clues and objects to track. With that, I ended up spending some time creating a spreadsheet to track my progress, then I added some code to roll dice, then I added code to handle combat tracking. It's probably riddled with bugs, but should anyone want to use it, here it is (Google Sheets).
