Doomy, I believe the answer to your question is: Avenger!, Book 1 of the Way of the Tiger series, written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson.

Doomy, I believe the answer to your question is: Avenger!, Book 1 of the Way of the Tiger series, written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson. Exumptly right, my good sir! You will recall this dialogue comes up when you are disguised as a minstrel, trying to blag your way into Quench-Heart Keep in order to give baldy nutjob Yaemon a good hard kick in the happy sack. I thought you might get it quite easily, since my admiration for the Way of the Tiger books is now a matter of public record, but I thought it was time to give them a mention regardless. Anyway, over to you! |

Cheers, Doomy. OK, here's an obscure one: - In which gamebook (Title, Author, Series, please) can you get to meet the actual author during the course of the adventure?
Have fun! |

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I seem to recall that happening in Zork. However, I'd have to look up the author, etc. Maybe later.

Have fun! That sounds familiar, but I don't think it was something I read. I think somebody told me it as some sort of 'hey, this was the funniest thing!' Something I must have heard about, but I don't have the vaguest idea of who or when or what book it was.  Now, for my fiendishly devised question!  In what city can you find Gallows Street? |

Now, for my fiendishly devised question! In what city can you find Gallows Street? Ouch! It could be anywhere from Ragadorn to Tahou. But I'm pretty sure it's not Helgedad.  |

That wasn't the book I was thinking of (never read the Zork books). OK, I'll alter the question: In which gamebook that isn't a Zork adventure (Title, Author, Series, please) can you get to meet the actual author during the course of the adventure? ;D |

I may be wrong, but isn't Gallows Street one of the alternative places you could end up while looking for Banedon's tutor Chiban?
NS.

There's a Gallows Street in Warwick, and another in Dromore, County Down. Do I win?  |

We're are not going to go into all the LW crossovers in the real world, Maaken and NAAR being just two!  NS. |

Have I outsmarted the smartest Gamebook minds on these boards? Should I post a clue?? Well, I can't speak for the gamebook experts on these boards, but this dabbler can't answer the question, anyway. |
