I'd replace Donner Party and Adventures with Raven.

Ughhhh. I don't want any of these being replaced, but at the same time, A Hero's Odyssey is so good. I wouldn't say Battlefield Commander should replace anything TBH.

I guess I would vote for A Hero's Odyssey replacing Adventures with Raven.

Well you don't need to say anything has to be replaced.

I mean if you're fine with the current line up or you only want one of the stories to replace something, that's fine too.

A Jung Hero's Adventure is the weakest IMO, just in a technical sense. It's not formatted or proofread very well.

Congrats Romulus!

And with that addition, Edutainment's a really solid category now. I'm now viewing the weakest story remaining on the list as the Quest for Pegasus. It's well written, but as a second Greek mythology piece it doesn't hold up to A Hero's Odyssey.

I'll have a review ready soon, but am I right that if you pick the wrong choice in the beginning, you're locked into a path without a winning ending? I've been trying to decide myself how far it's acceptable to continue a story once the players lock themselves into that kind of situation, and I think you found a good balance there.

Thanks Mizal, I'm looking forward to your review. And you're correct, make the wrong choice in the beginning, you're locked on a path without a 'good' ending. If I remember correctly, it's one of the few ways through which you can't get the 'real' ending.
