I was privileged to play a role, and while not an official part of the followup (happens early next week), I thought I’d share my reflections. I played a few times while in college, but… I gave it up when a favorite character of mine was killed by an evil trap (that was really too advanced for our party). And had fun!

You read through several pages of story, and then there’s an embedded game you play that’s tied to, and advances, the story. Wrapping a dialog capability around the ebook, which is another interesting opportunity, only adds to the learning opportunity. It’s an interesting hybrid between a graphic novel and a game.

Again, a design rationale makes a plausible framework for dialog and improvement. In fact, there may need to be several layers.
