Mine will be rather straight forward, I use two variables in it and thats it. Since it is my first gamebook and with the 4 page limit i figured i would play it safe. But I do hope we will have some more of these Micro Gamebook Jams and not just once a year. Maybe once every four months? It also is good for those dipping their toes into creating a gamebook for the first time or returning to it.

The 4 page limit is a good start, because of its small size. I also like small size gamebooks and preffer them to play.

I agree that 4 pages is a good size, especially after finding out there is enough room to fit 2,600 words. Others have managed more.

I suspect there are a lot of people would struggle with only 4 pages to write a gamebook in. I've also found in the past adventures I have written have ended up anticlimactic and that problem is so much easier to fix when you can just write more bits, rather than working out how to revise or rewrite what is already there.
