Samwise? Is that a typo or did Sam change his name?
The name change was made at the author’s request.
Well this is ALL kinds of intriguing. A CYOA with stats and an almost Twilight Zone-y feel? I hope it delivers, but I’m trying it
Gotcha, thanks for the info. Haven’t seen Sam lately but hope he’s doing well and the release is a good one for him.
Awesome! I’m happy to add this to my collection - it’s a fun story with some great characters!
