@alternativeto@mas.to So, someone felt "Choose Your Own Adventure" was too limiting and doesn't like that RPGs need someone to run the game?
I've been waiting for years for someone to develop a non-linear ebook format so I could have a book where I could choose an ordering for the contents and get it in that order. For example, today I want to read the Chronicles of Narnia in publication order and next week I want them in timeline order. Same content, different default presentation, defined by setting an option in the table of contents. I want it for book series, and for reference book and for textbooks.
But oh, no, I can't have that. Books don't work that way.
Instead I get "What the world really needs is for people to pretend they live in movies".
Sigh.
