For those interested, they died to our Geordie pet Lizard, War Dragon. We reckon if we had survived we could have taken Zagor after all! Dang it! We're off opening doors for a long time, mind.

In honor of the Vuelta a Espaรฑa kicking off on Saturday, this week's selection is "Superbike" - #124.

Written by Edward Packard in 1992, it only has 12 endings, but the cover has a kid riding a flying bicycle over some cows. C'mon, you want to know how he got into that situation, right?

Despite the text description, none of these are actually books ๐Ÿ˜œ

(Yes, they are , but I'm sure the lawyers would prefer different terminology!)

Speaking of the classic form of RPG solitaire play, many thanks to @BigJackBrass for making me aware of this new one from venerable master Ken St. Andre himself, one of the founders of the form. I haven't got this one yet for ... money reasons ... but I will soon ๐Ÿ˜… drivethrurpg.com/product/44492

In what little spare time I manage to find, I've been playing through the classic gamebook 1: Fight from the Dark.

These definitive editions from Holmgard are simply amazing - sympathetic to original look and feel and with brilliant illustrations by Nerdgore that could almost have been drawn by Gary Chalk himself. Book 1 has been massively expanded too.

I was always more into Fighting Fantasy but the Lone Wolf saga came a very close second
