Green Water, Crimson Stag – a Dragon Warriors Solo Adventure

This is a well-written, atmospheric adventure with lovely illustrations. The author clearly loves the gamebook genre and has given much time and thought to it, resulting in an excellent book that stands up to the classics. The adventure amply rewards risk but respects caution too, and gives the player good choices throughout. The simultaneously whimsical and menacing feel of sylvan faerie lore suffuses the pages and leaves a memorable imprint.

Mild spoilers follow.

Solo adventure exploring a classic Dragon Warriors theme. One main path, but some interesting detours that could give an advantage, if you are prepared to take a risk. Ample opportunities to gain clues regarding the nature of the evil. Well balanced between exploration, combat and problem solving; locations can be revisited, and sometimes it is wise to do so.

Possible improvements: (i) entry 80, cross the river, 49 seems a better link than 95 (which loops back to 80); (ii) double use of keyword Elm (see 37 and 52), choose a different codeword for 52 (unless this was a design choice). Otherwise links seem accurate; highlighting these and other key information is a good feature. Could be modified to other systems with a little work.

Fun adventure. Recommended.

Sumptiously illustrated by the author, this short solo gamebook is a prime example of the talent and high standard of fan work coming out of Red Ruin. A quirky and atmospheric romp, with an eclectic cast of encounters and a nice sense of whimsy. Plenty of replayability with multiple paths through. I enjoyed this book. It would also fit nicely in an Arthurian style questing game.
