Is anyone here working on adapting an LLM to Fighting Fantasy style adventures or just text adventures or anything along these lines? I made a custom GPT awhile back called Dungeon Quest. There is also AI Dungeon.

  Not custom models but LLM but https://infiniteworlds.app/ https://infiniteworlds.app/ is using commercial models for that kind of thing. Edit: Should warn that the site has nswf user content, may be best not to visit from work.

Has anyone tried the computer/console adaptations of these books? Related, the prior Choose Your Own Adventure books https://if50.substack.com/p/1979-the-cave-of-time https://if50.substack.com/p/1979-the-cave-of-time

  There's a company called Tin Man Games that have adapted a couple of titles for modern devices. Here's a link to their adaptation of Warlock of Firetop Mountain: [0] [0]: https://tinmangames.com.au/games/the-warlocks-of-firetop-mountain/ https://tinmangames.com.au/games/the-warlocks-of-firetop-mou...

    Nice to see they've done some in 3D as well. I was referring to these ones https://tinmangames.com.au/games/fighting-fantasy-classics/ https://tinmangames.com.au/games/fighting-fantasy-classics/

I loved these books, I think my favourites were Crimson Tide, which despite being famously 'buggy' was slightly more mature and ambitious than many of the others, and Robot Commando, which was a different sci-fi setting, and I seem to remember it had a very simple class system where you choose a different robot at the start. The computerised Sorcery games are probably worth checking out, as is the Eddie Marsan voiced Deathtrap Dungeon. The wider tabletop gaming system (presented in Dungeoneer, Blacksand, Allansia, Out of the Pit and Titan) was simpler than D&D but I still have my incredibly dog-eared (and in some cases very badly coloured-in) copies. These are probably quite hard to come by, and don't get much play anymore, but provided huge amounts of joy in my youth. Often we'd pace round the playground at lunch in school, telling stories and forgoing dice rolls. Good times.
