A Lousy Night in Candarlin

Armed only with a pen and two dice, you will embark on this epic Fantasy Gamebook!

Nobody likes being in debt, especially not with the Saber Crabs. You are well aware of that. But unfortunately there was this streak of bad luck at the gambling table ... A night-time visit to the tower of Master Rocutius should yield enough gold for you to pay your debts and to not end up as fish food. But there's more to the merchant's noble front than you thought ...

A Lousy Night in Candarlin stands within the tradition of gamebooks like Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy. It's a stand-alone story that can be played for itself or as part of the series. The rules are intentionally kept simple so you can start playing quickly. All you need is two six-sided dice (2d6) and a pencil.

My name is Christopher, I'm 45 years old and I live in Berlin. I've been passionate about gamebooks and fantasy role-playing games since I was 14 years old. It all started with Demons of the Deep by Fighting Fantasy. I continued with The Dark Eye, Midgard, Shadowrun and Battletech and others. Reading and gaming led to writing. By my mid-twenties I had written about ten fantasy scenarios, several solo adventures and many pages of source material. 

And professionally? I continued with books there too. I worked in publishing for ten years, as an editor and as a marketing manager for several trade publishers. I want to create books that I would like to read myself. It's important to me to draw readers into a fantastic world, to entertain them and to develop solid, interesting game mechanics.
