Weightiest book in a light series, Oct 25 2005
By Matt Hetling "Matt" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clash of the Sorcerer's (Paperback)
This is volume 11 in a set of books produced by TSR as one of their many, many innovative efforts to keep their RPG (Role Playing Game) ball rolling. It is also the climactic finale of a trilogy about orphaned wizard's son Carr Delling.
Anyone familiar with the Choose your Own Adventure books will recognize the basic format. Every page or two, the book gives you some sort of choice, and you flip to a different section of the book based on what decision you make. Because different readers make different choices, the book can provide a whole host of stories based on the interaction.
These Adventure Gamebooks go one step further (and write the prose a bit better). In this book, you not only make decisions, but you also roll dice to determine the outcome of the things you attempt to do. In the beginning, your dice rolls give the main character different attributes (such as great strength, or great wisdom, for example), and the character's scores in these areas might facilitate dealing with a problem that crops up in the book.
One appeal of this type of book is that, for gaming geeks, it can be difficult to get a game going, requiring as it does many hours of participation from several people. Adventure Gamebooks represent a chance to scratch that RPG itch without needing a friend to play with.
By wrapping up the trilogy, Clash of the Sorcerers has achieved an epic feel in a medium that is plagued by fragmentation and brevity. This is quite an accomplishment, and represents the height of the format. Hero Carr Delling must face his archenemy Arno, an evil wizard who orphaned Carr by killing his wizard father.
I'd recommend these books to the person who has enjoyed the D&D or Choose Your Own Adventure experience. They're a neat idea, even if they never really took off.
