Well it's a day late, but I'm glad the noob we ordered for End arrived. (There were legal issues with importing a baby seal.)

What did he do?

He is the sacrifice whose blood will stain the altars in honor of the eldritch EndMaster.

Hey Jonathan,
First off, welcome to the site! I just want to say that it's not a good idea to tag Endmaster 3 times. He's one of the main administrators of the site and hates being tagged in random threads because it's annoying, so he will ban you.

As for your question, you don't need to tag End 3 times. Here's how you make a storygame.

You come up with a concept you like. Let's say I want to write a story about an elf who goes on a journey to kill a dragon.

Then you come up with potential branching ideas and storylines.

The elf leaves home and then he journeys to a small town near where he lives. From there, you could have him try and find a map to the dragon's lair. Then he'll have 2 choices. Either go through the dark and scary forest, or hire a ship and go by sea. Then you can have him choose between 2 types of ocean-traveling vessels.

I think you get the point, so I'll stop here. Essentially, come up with an idea for a story, a few characters, then have points where the story diverges, and based on the reader's choices, goes in a different direction. A good choose your own adventure story offers lots of choices, choices that are meaningful, impact the story in a significant way, and make logical sense, and follow the tenets for what makes a regular story good.

To make your first game, just go to "My stuff", then click on the storygames tab. You'll see an option to create a storygame. From there, you have to add pages, write in the pages, then add links to the next page. It's pretty self explanatory. Once you get enough pages, make sure to add end links to each of the endings, and voila, you're set!
