Living the dream.ĭave Morris, gamebook legend has kept this blog going for 11 years with regular posts the whole time. ![]() These provide camps in role playing gaming and collaborative storytelling. His latest endeavours are Sun Sailor productions and Story Tables. His post for 2021 details what he is up to now. If you have a gamebook blog that is active and I haven't mentioned it, please leave a comment with a link and I will add it to the list!Īshton made a lot of great gamebooks back in the 10s. I have split them into gamebook authors/producers and gamebook playthrough blogs/reviewers. These blogs have had at least 1 post in 2021. I thought I'd update a list of blogs that are currently running and talking about gamebooks.īlogs come and go on tide and time, and since it's been a while since I've interacted with the blogosphere as much as I did in the 10s, I thought I would provide an updated list of blogs that are either completely about gamebooks or mention gamebooks that are still running. This means that every time I attack, I will get +2/+2 from the land I search up. If a land enters the battlefield, I get +2/+2, which combos with the Sword of the Animist. When I attack, I can sacrifice my dagger to deal 1 damage to a creature, search for a basic land, delve into the dungeon and if I deal damage I draw a card. So if you take me as a 0/1 creature, with the equipment, I am an 8/7 creature with Haste, Hexproof, Trample, Reach, Ward 1 and Vigilance. Not completely unbockable, but I guess walls don't care if you are invisible. Wizards worked out that games are more fun when they let people play in a more intuitive way, so they replaced it with hexproof. However, players always assumed that they could target their own creature. Shroud meant that a creature couldn't be targeted. Shroud is no longer in use because it didn't work how people wanted it to. It gives a bonus to power and toughness and has a Ward mechanic which increases the costs more to target it. Wizards did a DnD themed set recently, so this is what heavy armour looks like now. Heartseeker is probably not going to get reprinted, so I'll go for the smaller, spare dagger. I eventually killed the Balrog with a level 37 ranger after lots of save-scumming. I also have a soft spot for rangers as I played a ranger in my first roguelike game (Moria). A ranger's longbow gives a power and toughness boost and allows me to block flying creatures. They usually cost them right, but they messed up combat maths, turning the game into a mental exercise for an attacking player. ![]() Wizards also doesn't go in for creatures that tap to deal damage. Now I can steal some stuff with my gloves.Ĭool as sword of fire and ice is, I have a new sword and I need a new cloak. Sword of the Animist is way more effective than Explorer's Scope.ĭelver's Torch is more of a power boost and allows you to venture into the dungeon when you attack. Swiftfoot boots grant Haste, which is helpful and also Hexproof which stops opponents from targeting the creature, but the creature's controller can target it. It's either does nothing or makes a creature unblockable and this is bad for the game either way. Wizards doesn't go in for landwalk any more. Howver, a pick is always useful for mining, climbing, or, at a pinch, as a weapon. That 1 mana has to be green and it needs to be attached for 2G. Aside from the fact that you can attach skyclave pickaxe for 1 mana, it is more expensive and difficult to use. Since that was 5 years ago, I thought I would do an update.Īs with Bonesplitter, Wizards decided that some abilities are too strong to stick on a creature for 2 colorless mana and a common card.
