Master of Chaos, from the Fighting Fantasy game book series, written by Keith Martin, illustrated by David Gallagher, and cover by Les Edwards.

“The staff of rulership must be regained!

You have no choice but to take on this mission. The Master of Chaos - warped by centuries of evil - holds a Staff of Power. From his lair in the ruined city of Kabesh, he plans to unite the forces of evil and chaos and plunge Titan into a Dark Age. YOU must find him and win back the Staff ... whatever it takes.

Part story, part game, this is a book in which YOU become the hero! Two dice, a pencil and an eraser are all you need. YOU decide which routes to take, which dangers to risk and which foes to fight!”

There are a few rule unique to this book, such as a notoriety score, which represents how much attention is being paid to the player, the choice of three "Special Skills" from the following list: Acute Hearing, Animal Wisdom, Blindsight, Climbing, Move Silently, and Tracking, and a lower skill score due to lack of weapons at the outset

By the power of dark sorcery, the crazed wizard has returned from the dead and intends to wreak his revenge upon all Allansia.

In this book the player travels to Solani Island, which lies near the south-east coast of Allansia, to discover what has happened to the wizards who are supposed to protect the coastline.

When in Rome...

It's actually pretty nice to have a way to weed out the inventory.

Maybe it was in poor taste to mention my blood sugar in front of an undead wizard. Do you think Zanbar Bone's last name was Bone before he died, or do you think he changed it when he got into the lich business?

Mort is back! The mayor bought him a whole roast goose in exchange for solving the town's wizard/moondog problem.

I think other people put their hands in my pockets more often than I did.

Nothing tastes more refreshing than a mystery!

“Baikal Zen”: Rocks that have fallen on the ice of Lake Baikal are heated by sunlight and emit infrared rays that melt the ice below. Once the sun is gone, the ice becomes solid again, creating a small support for the rock above.
