Gamebook Friday: Forthcoming Livestreams

For those who might be interested, I will be taking part in a couple of livestreams over the next few days.

On Sunday 15th June at 7:00pm, I will be joining Jordan Sorcery for a live playthrough of The Tides of Innsmouth. You can join the chat here to help decide what our Investigator does as they visit the sleepy seaside town of Innsmouth.

And then on Wednesday 18th June at 7:00pm, I will be chatting to Mathiew and Mark on the French YouTube channel Rôliste TV about my work in the gamebook genre. We will be discussing the history of Fighting Fantasy, adapting classics like Dracula, and my recent forays into the world of Arkham Horror.

Gamebook Friday: Continuing the Adventure with the Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks

One of the features of the Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks that makes them different from other gamebooks I have written, is that you can play through an adventure as multiple different Investigators; not just the different ones that appear in each book, but as any Investigator from any book, or any other source, including (to date) the Aconyte Books website and the Dark Horse comic The Terror at the End of Time.

But the gaming goodness doesn't end there. You can also play through multiple adventures with the same character and have them gain Experience which can then affect their stats - including their Abilities and Weaknesses - on a permanent basis.

You will find the rules for how to continue the adventure with one Investigator in this way in The Tides of Innsmouth, my latest Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks which is out now!

New Book Day: The Tides of Innsmouth

The Tides of Innsmouth, my second Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook is published today by Aconyte Books.

The book actually went on sale for the first time at the UK Games Expo at the weekend, and had sold out by 11:00am on Saturday, which was amazing.

The reviews have also started to come in and they make very satisfying reading for the person who wrote the book.

Just as The Darkness Over Arkham had the profiles of three Investigators included within it - those for Agnes Baker the Waitress, Nathaniel Cho the Boxer, and Rex Murphy the Reporter - there are three new Investiator profiles in The Tides of Innsmouth - Silas Marsh the Sailor, Kōhaku Narukami the Folklorist, and Marion Tavares the Trawler.

However, you can also play the adventure using any of the Investigators from The Darkness Over Arkham, or those that appear on the Aconyte website, or even those that appeared in the Dark Horse comic, The Terror at the End of Time.

I'm loving Joshua Cairós's cover art,
while Nick Tyler's design work is excellent as ever.
