This week, Fiona is back in the solo adventurer's seat as she starts her playthrough of Faerie Mound of Dragonkind, a solo quest adventure book set in Dragonlance!

Written by Jean F. Blashfield and James M. Ward and published by TSR in 1987, Faerie Mound of Dragonkind is part of the CATACOMBS gamebook series which, according to the blurb, represents the ultimate challenge in role-playing adventure. Analytical powers would be tested to the utmost as readers must decide how to deal with the weird and wondrous creatures and artefacts they encounter, using a simplified d12 rule system.

From the Faerie Mound of Dragonkind bio:

'Out of the mists of time, protected by the enchantments of the ancient gods, rises the Faerie Mound of Dragonkind. At the dawn of mankind, faeries could be found everywhere, but with the introduction of cold iron, these enchanted creatures were forced to gather their magical essences in ancient places of power, wrapped in magical illusions. Once every thousand years, the Mound is revealed in all its splendor. It is at these times only that mortals can cross over into the dangerous world of ancient magic and power that is the last stronghold of the enchanted realm.

In FAERIE MOUND OF DRAGONKIND, you enter the world of a visual maze, full of surprises both delightful and deadly! You come on a quest, as a fighter or a bard. But to complete your quest, you must explore the maze of enchanted chambers of the faerie mound, where fearsome creatures lurk behind every corner and magic is everywhere! A unique feature of this book is a roguish Elf, who may either help you or hinder you and may be hiding on any page!'
