While I count Steve Jackson’s Sorcery series as probably the best adventure gamebook series I’ve played and Dave Morris’ Eye of the Dragon my favorite (those Russ Nicholson illustrations!), the series I spent the most time with as a kid was GrailQuest. This is the first one, The Castle of Darkness (1984 for the UK, 1986 for the US edition).

The setup is that upon opening the book, Merlin cast a spell that brings your consciousness into the body of Pip, a lad living during the Arthurian era. With his trusty talking sword, Excalibur Jr., you, Pip and Merlin’s narration go off to save the kingdom. In the first book, that means rescuing Queen Guinevere from the evil wizard Ansalom.

Couple key things. First, these books are chill. The rules get explained along the way and, uh, they kind of encourage cheating. Or at least they go easy on you. For instance, if you die, you start over and everything you already killed is still dead. Second, they’re intentionally funny. There are a number of running gags throughout the series. My favorite is probably the fairly helpful vampire who is a terrible poet. Third, they are less focused on fighting and more on cleverness — there are lots of hidden doors and the games encourage keyed mapping to allow for backtracking (useful, since like Lone Wolf, you can bring items into the next book).

Oh, and the art is great. Like early Warhammer, it is rather grim and gritty, which mixes nicely with the dry, quippy humor. John Higgins (Judge Dredd) does the interiors. Les Edwards is on the cover.

Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain (dir. Paul Briganti).

SNL's Gen Z sketch comedy trio breaks out in their own feature-length adventure for an amusing but insubstantial buddy movie co-starring Conan O'Brien. Based around a lot of self-deprecating humour about the cast's perceived lack of masculinity, there's an abundance of jokes about reluctantly moving into adulthood as Ben and John start to grow up, look ahead, and Martin feels left behind as a manchild who's lost reliving his youth. How the treasure map plotline unfolds feels like an extended sketch with a series of oddball gags and a messy fight sequence ending.

This is book two of the J.H. Brennan’s GrailQuest series, The Den of Dragons (1984 UK, 1986 US). Les Edwards painted the cover, John Higgins did the interiors. Love that stone golem, he seems very solid.

Same set up as the previous book. You are pulled into King Arthur’s time and have to save the kingdom, this time from a dragon. Maybe because that is such standard fantasy fare, this one never did it for me in comparison to the increasingly weird adventures the series gets up to.
