Default Old Choose-Your-Own-Adventures/Gamebooks

Hey, was wondering if anyone would be interested/if the forum was appropriate for a community playthrough of an old 80's era gamebook, something like Fighting Fantasy or one of the lengthier series. Was digging through some of my old stuff and found a couple, thought it might be fun to do a 'playthrough' where I post the pages and decisions, and people get to vote on/bicker over the choice.

Thoughts?

Might be interesting, I used to devour the CYOA books whenever I could find them.

That does sound pretty cool. What books were you thinking of using?

There's a couple to choose from.

Lone Wolf, a fantasy series where you play as the last of an order of warrior-monks, going around the world doing heroic things.

Fabled Lands, a partially unfinished fantasy series, famous for it's open-ended and free-roaming gameplay.

Heart of Ice, a one-off gamebook set in a post-apocalyptic earth, where you are after a elusive gem of enormous power.

Might this be better suited to the 'Other Games' section of the forums?

I agree it might work better there.

I love Fabled Lands but any of the options would be cool.
