The Catacombs of Candarlin

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

The arena in Candarlin is filled to the last seat. Like many others, eight-year-old Erbas has come to see the »Glorious One«, a gladiator who has supposedly never been defeated. When you find the boy badly injured in an alley soon afterwards, you are drawn into a maelstrom of intrigue and sinister machinations. Your investigations lead you deep into the dark heart of the occupied city. Who was the Glorious One in the past before becoming a gladiator? Can you save Erbas' life? And what does the city’s prince have to do with all this? Armed only with a pen and two dice, you will embark on this epic fantasy adventure! 

The Catacombs of Candarlin is the second part of the Candarlin series, a gamebook trilogy that began last year with The Secrets of Candarlin. It is a stand-alone story that can be played for itself or as part of the series. The Catacombs of Candarlin stands within the tradition of gamebooks like Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy. The rules are intentionally kept simple so you can start playing quickly. All you need is two six-sided dice (2d6) and a pencil.
