347. Morris Simon - Endless Quest #23: Blade of the Young Samurai (1984)

A second Asian inspired D&D Endless Quest book, after Duel of the Masters, this one is more explicit about its setting as instead of following an established D&D class such as the Monk, it goes into a more strictly East Asian setting with Samurais and Ninjas showing up.

D&D Oriental Adventures would be coming out in 1985 and this gamebook clearly anticipates both then and eventually in 1988 the Asian inspired sub-setting of Forgotten Realms: Kara-Tur.

As I didn't get my hands on this on time for the review I can't really speak about the interior of the book or its illustrations, but reviews around the internet praise the story as being quite good, I can't vouch for that, but I am curious!

I was given a book for DnD, and this dragon was on the front cover and I am in love with the design!

373. Bruce Algozin - Endless Quest #27: Lair of the Lich (1985)

The first of three Endless Quest books by Bruce Algozin (and not the best of them), in this book you play Eric, a young wizard apprentice, and son of a wizard yourself. As the gamebook starts, you find your father has been the victim of an attack and a robbery.

However, the attacker wasn't just a normal thief, but an evil lich who stole your dad's spellbook. So, as you can imagine your mission is to retrieve the spellbook from Castle Necropolis (what an original name!). In this quest you have the help of Pnimm, a kind of homunculus which at first looks like a halfling or nome, but really is magically created and very annoying.

I only had access to the Spanish version of this to read, and that is a very different experience from reading the English (a Lich is a "Wandering Corpse" for example) so it's a bit hard to judge this in terms of literary quality, these were the kinds of book that didn't really hire the most expert translators. Still there's some fun and creepy art in this one, with cover by Jeff Easley and interiors by Jim Roslof, with some cool illustrations of monsters like an intellect devourer, owlbears and plenty of undead.

A Pokemon Trainer and some regional forms based off me and some friends' Pokemon Infinite Fusion run.

I know regional forms don't have their own titles but I decided to come up with some anyway.

Okay. You know what? I’ll make peace with The Collector’s conclusion.

ON THE CONDITION that he meets all our silly little Collector OC’s during his time in space and they all become a group and go on adventures together.
