Furthermore, all pre-generated characters start with 6 Meals of Provisions, while a player-generated character would start with 10. This Scholastic reprint features newly commissioned illustrations and a gold cover and spine - truly lovely on the shelf.

From everything that I’d seen before, I imagined that the city garden would consist entirely of different kinds of mud, possibly with thieves hiding under it.

There were 20 full page illustrations and 6 minor repeated illustrations scattered throughout the text. There's a real homogeneity to the various locations in the story, and it's a place that cries out to be mapped so that further adventures build and expand on what's come before.

I have a toddler that takes up most of my time when I get home from work, and this series has been a fun way to relax at night and read/play for a little while before going to bed. We did this book in a 2017 edition that’s part of new series of a selection of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks by Scholastic. I question the right that we have to insist that an alien culture treat a corpse as we expect it to be treated. Ein überaus vergnügliches Buch, das mir von den wenigen der Reihe, die ich bislang spielen durfte, am besten gefallen hat.Hired by a desperate mayor, the player must as the adventurer journey to the dangerous city-state of Port Blacksand (the titular "City of Thieves"), and find the wizard Nicodemus, who apparently knows of Bone's one weakness. The villains you face aren't too hard/numerous to defeat compared to some of the other books, and even if you get lost in some of the maze-like sections, the book will usually get you back to where you need to be. Whereas the original had beautiful artwork that depict the city and the innhabitants here they just rewashed the illustrations to pure crap for 7 years old. Oh lovely, a corrupt law enforcement agency, I’m sure that won’t come back and make trouble for me later in the adventure.

The rules state that Provisions can only be eaten when instructed by the text, which is not the case. It's well-written, atmospheric, tense, and sufficiently difficult without falling into frustrating or cheating. I have played it on the Kindle - and, after easily getting through most of the story, I am getting stomped by some fights at the end of the book that just seem to require a lot of luck to get through. You are approached by the mayor and asked to go and find a friend of his who lives in the city of Port Blacksand, the city of thieves that the title of the book derives its name. The book also incorrectly states that the player has two doses of their chosen Potion at the beginning of the book, when in fact they have only one.In a lot of fantasy novels I note that the settings are generally black and whiteL the good hero goes out to fight and kill the evil villain. The book didn’t give me the option of just drawing it on my face with the chalk I’d found, though (which is probably the least stupid option), and instead told me that I went back to Silverton in failure.

It is actually a reasonably easy book, and while they talk about a one true path, it is quite easy to find it. Neither that it's not great nor challenging enough, but I'm not just in the mood for fighting among thieves and get duped by con men and orgs soldiers in the conspicuously crime-infested city in Titania. The paragraphs with a full page illustration were: 1, 31, 62, 88, 115†, 148, 171, 182, 203, 224, 239, 250, 265, 271, 296†, 307, 329, 344, 349 and 385.

This is one of the few Fighting Fantasy books where it's quite easy to find everything you need for a successful completion as long as you explore thoroughly. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed this book and recommend it to every fan of he genre, even to beginners.
