Choose Your Own Adventure In Shadows Of Sylvania
February 8, 2013 by brennon
Black Library had significant success with their first game book, Hive of the Dead, for Warhammer 40,000 and they have decided to stretch their bat like wings and explore the Shadows of Sylvania in a new 'Choose Your Own Adventure' style story for the world of Warhammer Fantasy...
In this adventure you choose from either the Blood Dragon, Von Carstein, or Lahmian families and become a thrall in their service. To set it in a historical context you will be adventuring against mortal and immortal alike during the period after Vlad Von Carstein's failed attempt to take on the Empire.
Collect precious weapons, fight deadly foes and if you want a bit of replay value go back and make different choices for an alternative storyline.
Does this sound like a fun book?

It would sound fun, but I can’t in all conscience buy a Black Library book after the farrago over Spot the Space Marine.
Maybe the manufacturers of Sylvanian families should take GW to task? 😉
Go little Squirrel, kick some legal butt! lol
Copywrite? hehe

Sylvania is also a lightbulb brand…

I guess GW is running out of BRIGHT ideas 😉
(…hangs head in shame and weeps into tea…)
Ahhh i think this maybe one occasionally those things that actually won’t get old. GW asses handed to them. It even made BBC news. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21380003
Good PR for tabletop gaming
“Mr Scalzi, who is currently president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, said it was “absurd” for the firm to claim ownership of the phrase and its use in literature. In a blogpost, Mr Scalzi said it was “pretty damn generic” long before Games Workshop began using it to describe its toy soldiers and in tabletop games,”
Well done GW
I wish the Warhammer gamebooks were cheaper and not direct only. I don’t see the value being made up in the cost, and by making in direct only, the audience is much more limited (I probably would have impulse-bought one at a Barnes and Nobles otherwise by now).
