This was an extremely engaging video =) Also credit to Adam and Paul for making this genuinely entertaining despite it being such a rough book. This felt like a cross between dice friends and Watch & Play at times.
I thought I'd watch the first of these videos on a whim. Then of course I was hooked, and burned through all of them finishing just now. A wonderful job done by Adam and Paul. Thank you!
Man, this book sucked with all the insta-death or railroaded into a place and glitches where you just were given an item even if you didn't have it, but I don't think I could have had any more fun with this book than listening to Paul and Adam over the course of two sessions. Keep up the great work Adam, and stop getting sick and forcing yourself to stream! We don't want you to overwork yourself and get worse.
Thank you Paul and Adam for a great series. You two are extremely funny together in this setup. Unfortunately, this book seemed bad in a couple of parameters. I hope the series will continue and the next "book" (even an alternative take) will be good!
There's some fun Asterix & Obelix books in a similar style to Fighting Fantasy. The series is called "Alea Jacta Est" and I played one of them loads as a child. It has more illustrations, but it's still primarily text.
I wonder if any LRR people do voice warm ups? Bc I've been doing a theatre crew job where i have to talk a lot and lose my voice easily due to ...being a person who doesn't talk All The Time like I do for my job. So I've actually thought about doing voice warm ups with the actors
I forget the details, but at some point a LRR's Person (I wanna say Cameron?) said something along the lines of "Throughout history people tried to fight demons with fasting, prayer and piety. Wasn't till Doom came along that we realised we should just blast them with a shotgun"... Or in this case a flintlock, I guess.
Great show! Looking forward to seeing where you take this! I would love to see you guys try the choose your own adventure: Trial of the Clone. I don't know how easy it is to find. Mine was from a second hand store many years ago.
Another option that's similar to the fighting fantasy books is the Lone Wolf books. I actually hadn't heard of the fighting fantasy ones, but I did play some of the Lone Wolf books in elementary school and they had similar features. One feature of these books is that you can carry your character forward from one book to the next, including many of the items you collect in the older books. There's something like 30 books released.
I know I'm super late to comment on this, but Call of Cthulhu has a single player series called "Alone Against". I just finished two play-throughs of "Alone Against the Flames", and I think Adam and Paul would make it very entertaining.
Choice of Games is the modern equivalent of the CYOA games, and there happens to be one I really loved called SLAMMED! on steam; its the story of going from amateur to pro wrestler, and even has a kayfabe stat! Highly suggest you look into it Adam
I can't fathom the pain someone would experience trying to play through this game in good faith with the weird death gotcha moments that run throughout the whole thing. On some level I wonder if this was was too easy initially, and the reason some choices have been rolled together is so they could add more fail states to ramp up the artificial difficulty.
xD I love this series I'm not that up on the 'actually coherent' class of cyo adventure novels but if you were looking for something silly you could always devote an episode to the goosebumps choose your own adventure stuff! They were actually pretty neat, especially with those nifty RL Stein descriptions of body horror and creeps, so I'd love to see it for like, april fools or something >u
If someone wants more books like this, check out 'Trial of the Clone' and 'Trial of the Clone 2'. They are interactive adventure books with a comedy and sci-fi theme, creates by Zach Weinersmith - the creator of the web comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. I enjoy them, and you might as well.
I'm having a really bummery day and just noticed this was posted. I don't know why but watching Adam play these really bad books while Paul eggs him on to make poor choices just warms my heart.
Love these so much just seemed a bit disappointing tbh with the end and just so many insta deaths I’ve got the original books and played through all of them and this one seems just so much more annoying to play through
I love the Adam and Paul dynamic, I feel like they're a low-key top tier duo in LRR. Don't sleep on these bois
This was an extremely engaging video =)

Please keep this going Adam and Paul. I really love this series and I'm always anticipating the next book.
This is the greatest human invention and the greatest triumph in human's attempt to entertainment.
I love these Paul and Adam streams. Very engaging of my engagement.

"You're reading a story." Given the all-ages nature of the LRR community I'm amazed 'LRR reads bedtime stories' isn't a thing!
Drinking Game: 1 drink every time you hear "whilst"
I did not forget to engage my engagement in this engaging video
Holy crap, I literally just finished watching part 1 like thirty seconds ago when I got the alert this was live.. That is perfect timing!
If that book has taught me anything, it's "Never question instructions, follow them perfectly, and have no initiatives of your own"

thank you so much for putting yourselves through this for our entertainment :D I love this series!

Hope to see more of this kind of content in the future

This is one of my favorite things you guys do on the channel. Hope to see more solo adventures in the future!
Adam should play the Lone Wolf series of adventure books, they're great

love these streams! the pairing of Paul and Adam works very well for the ridiculous scenarios these books present at times.
So what I learned was that we needed to get our pistol serviced to take care of Bone.
Dude, these are the freaking best!

Yo, I’m hype for more of this
Steve Jackson's Sorcery! books are really good, so I would recommend them.
I am here doing text. I would love to see you guys do an ironsworn run
