Sounds like a fun thing to try. Does anyone know of any programs/applications that can do the numbered entry tracking or is it a process just done by hand with a flowchart then numbering entries when all are written? I've only ever written one choose your own adventure (COYA) when I was a kid. Might still have it somewhere (but probably lost, it's like, 40+ years since). I'll have a look but no way am I putting it out there (if I find it) as 9/10 year old me will have a far more innocent view of the world! (Read it's probably crap).

apn , an early Trollszine gave advice about this. I think they suggested HTML to link things together. Then copy and paste into the final document, search and replace the references. I use Excel for the same job. I have done a few solos which kind of work but the prose needs improving. They are really just outlines of the action. trolletgunnar , would love to know how different the French version is. I have thought about buying a copy. I am out of practice with French but used to read it fairly well.

Well, be interest, but for me, I just bought the lot of solos with the idea to play them, which therefore seems obsolete me play as a GM adventure, but the FB team had started to create their Solo with GM adventures at back of book, which I thought was a great idea, like 'Saving Fang.' Still it also might be one I done? So you would have to change it a lot, I presume? I working at improving a solo at moment, but it a bit Hush, Hush spell thing, but could you give me an idea of what solos you were considering as I got about 96% (naw 98%) of the T&T stuff? |

I can't recall any specific software or app that folks have mentioned making it easy to plug in your adventure details and have the app manage the mixed paragraphs. I know the topic has come up a couple of different times. This thread has some great suggestions for writing solos: Software for writting Solo Adventures? |

houndle The French version is pretty much a word for word translation of version 7.5. I noticed however that librarian liche was translated into sangsue bibliothécaire. Which is, in English, Librarian Leech. I thought that was kind of fun and tickled my imagination. I do think it's well put together though, and you get all the 7.5 materials - is it 3 books?! - in one. That's one of the reasons why I bought it. That and the fact that my girlfriend speaks Frencn, and I 'm trying to get her hoocked on the hobby. I also, like you, wanted to practice my French.

I'm interested in sharing all kinds of solo stuff, but mainly my idea was to share and get feed back on "Home brewed materials" My plan was to try to write my own material from scratch, or to adapt gm adventures. I don't have a group of players for the moment, and if I can create some interesting solo material for some player somewhere, it would make me happy. I'm sorry about my english it's not my mother tongue |

I am out of practice with French but used to read it fairly well. Hyper links in a document seems good way to navigate in solo adventure: push on on the paragraf the you choose et voilà you'r there! I was planning to write my own solo adventures, but I don't have anyone who can make a play test them. That's was one of my thoughts: if there was a way to give each other feed-back on the writing. |

It will probaly be a fun read for the grown up version of you! |

No problem trolletgunnar, English is my main language and I still having problems with it after 50+ years!  |
