For those of you who don't know what it is, here is a brief overview: The Fabled Lands (Published as Quest in the US) is a game book series by Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson. They published the first 6 of 12 books in the mid 90's. The books are very similar to the Choose Your Own Adventure books except that they are so much more in depth and very non-linear. So that is what this project derived from, here is what the project actually is: I want to bring more awareness and popularity to this game series and hopefully persuade the Authors to publish the last 6 books. Thus, I am converting the entire 6 book series into HTML format so you can play the game from anywhere on the web. I currently am about 1/5 of the way completed with the first book. If anyone would like to volunteer to help convert this to code, let me know. I can provide you with the books in PDF format and all you need to know how to do is Copy/Paste, Add line breaks, Add Links, Put words in Bold, and Put words in Italics. If anyone would like to Contribute, just let me know and I will set you up. Let's make this a reality and get the last 6 books published!

I'll upload what I have finished and post up the link so you can take a look when I get off work at 6. There will be a lot of dead links, but once you look you'll be able to see why that wouldn't work as well as I would hope. Thanks for the suggestion though

Like, you don't need to read "If you have a coded missive, go to *** immediately." The website would take you there, if it finds a cookie that says you have, indeed, a coded missive.
