This week, Fiona puts Hamilton in the solo adventurer's seat as they continue their playthrough of GNOMES - 100, DRAGONS - 0, a solo quest adventure book set in Dragonlance!
Written by Jean F. Blashfield and James M. Ward and published by TSR in 1987, GNOMES - 100, DRAGONS - 0 is part of the CATACOMBS gamebook series which, according to the blurb, represents the ultimate challenge in role-playing adventure. Analytical powers would be tested to the utmost as readers must decide how to deal with the weird and wondrous creatures and artefacts they encounter, using a simplified d12 rule system.
From the GNOMES - 100, DRAGONS - 0 bio:
'On the world of Krynn, from deep in the heart of the Isle of Sancrist, rises a dormant volcano named Mount Nevermind. Although dormant, Mount Nevermind never sleeps, for it is where 99,000 gnomes carry out their Life Quests, as they and their ancestors have for thousands of years.
Their livelihood, however, is now threatened by the Queen of Darkness, who has sent a dragon army to seize Sancrist. The gnomes' only hope of resistance is to have YOU command the final battle. But first, you must gather components of a weapon that will repel the Dark Queen's minions.
In GNOMES - 100, DRAGONS - 0, you enter the world of a visual maze, full of surprises both delightful and deadly! As a baker's son and would-be general, you begin your quest. But to complete it, you must explore the chambers within Mount Nevermind, where fearsome creatures lurk and gnomish ingenuity will astound you!'
